In 1937, Eichmann was sent to the British Mandate of Palestine with his superior Herbert
Hagen to assess the possibilities of massive Jewish emigration from Germany to Palestine.
They landed in Haifa but could obtain only a transit visa so they went on to Cairo. There,
they met Feival Polkes, an agent of the Haganah, who discussed with them the plans of
the Zionists and tried to enlist their assistance in facilitating Jewish emigration from
Europe.[citation needed] According to an answer Eichmann gave at his trial, he had also
planned to meet Arab leaders in Palestine; this never happened because entry to
Palestine was refused by the British authorities.

1938, Eichmann had been selected by the SS leadership to form the Central Office for
Jewish Emigration, charged with forcibly deporting and expelling Jews from Austria.
Through this work, Eichmann became a student of Judaism, even studying Hebrew.

At the start of World War II, Eichmann had been promoted to SS-Hauptsturmführer
(captain) and had made a name for himself with his Office for Jewish Emigration. Through
this work Eichmann made several contacts in the Zionist movement, which he worked
with to speed up Jewish emigration from the Third Reich.

At the end of World War II, Eichmann was captured by the US Army.
Early in 1946, he escaped from US custody and hid in
various parts of Germany for a few years. At the beginning of 1950,
Eichmann went to Italy, where he posed as a refugee named Riccardo
Klement. With the help of a Franciscan friar who had connections with
archbishop Alois Hudal, who organized one of the first ratlines, Eichmann
obtained an International Committee of the Red Cross humanitarian passport
in Geneva and an Argentine visa

CIA inaction

In June 2006, old CIA documents regarding Nazis and stay-behind networks
dedicated to anti-communism were released. Among the 27,000 documents
released, a March 1958 memo from the German BND agency to the CIA stated
that Eichmann was reported to have lived in Argentina since 1952, using the
alias "Clemens". The CIA took no action on this information, however, because
Eichmann's arrest threatened to be an embarrassment to the Americans and
Germans by turning public attention to the former Nazis they had recruited
after World War II. For example, the West German government at the time,
headed by Konrad Adenauer, was worried about what Eichmann might say,
especially about the past of Hans Globke, Adenauer's national security
adviser, who had worked with Eichmann in the Jewish Affairs department and
helped draft the 1935 Nuremberg Laws.[7][8][9] At the request of Bonn, the
CIA persuaded Life magazine to delete any reference to Globke from
Eichmann's memoirs, which it had bought from his family.[10] By the time the
CIA and the BND had this information, Israel had temporarily given up looking
for Eichmann in Argentina because they could not figure out his alias.[10]
Neither the CIA, nor the U.S. government as a whole, at that time had a
policy of pursuing Nazi war criminals.[8] In addition to protecting Eichmann
and Globke, the CIA also protected Reinhard Gehlen,[11] who recruited
hundreds of former Nazi spies for the CIA.
