Adolf Eichmann’s capture in Argentina rested on contentious legal ground; Israeli intelligence agents had captured Eichmann in Argentina, which was a clear contravention of international law. Mossad agents flew him out of the country drugged and disguised as an Israeli airline worker who had suffered head trauma. This article frames Eichmann’s capture as voluntary, saying that Eichmann volunteered to be turned in to the Israeli justice system after “Jewish volunteers” (who were actually members of Israel’s intelligence service) tracked him down. This framing obscures the complicated legal nature of Eichmann’s capture. Berliner Zeitung, an East Berlin daily, may have chosen to frame the article in this way because the GDR accused the FRG of wanting to extradite Eichmann to West Germany to bury Eichmann’s case for fear of Nazis in their government being exposed, and implied that any West German questioning of the complicated legal nature of Eichmann’s capture was a way to set up a possible extradition attempt.
