The CIA knew the whereabouts of the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Argentina more than two years before his capture by Mossad agents, but kept the fact secret to protect its anti-Communist efforts. The documents, among 27,000 pages of CIA records released, indicate that the agency was told in 1958 by then West German intelligence that Eichmann was living under an alias in the Buenos Aires. But the CIA did nothing.

The Long Beach paper had that story a couple days ago. I read it with a shrug since Operation Paperclip after the war was rationalized so liberally so that there was plenty of “looking the other way” and ignoring blatant Nazis if they were working for us. The OSS was fully one half staffed by ex-Nazis in the late 40s. Many had their backgrounds sanitized by the US government.

If it is to be believed, Allen Dulles, under the cover of covert plans called Operation Sunrise, Overcast, and Paperclip, actually brought SS intelligence officers to the US as early as 1943 for the purpose of collaboration on the advanced technology and to bolster US intelligence ops.
