Heinz Eichmann, who reportedly was in Cairo or Damascus. Indistinguishable among these false rumors assembled by West German intelligence was unconfirmed but accurate information concerning a “Clemens” in Argentina. 31 In March 2010 the international press noted that the German intelligence service, the BND, had a classified file of some 4,500 pages of documents on Eichmann, purportedly about Eichmann’s escape to Italy <strong>and</strong> then Argentina. 32 American IRR records <strong>and</strong> CIA records on Eichmann may supplement or serve as a check on these German files once they are released. NOTES 1 The effort by British intelligence is covered in Hugh Trevor Roper, The Last Days of Hitler (New York: Macmillan, 1947), <strong>and</strong> subsequent reprints. The Soviet effort is discussed in Henrik Eberle <strong>and</strong> Matthias Uhl, ed., The Hitler Book: The Secret Dossier Prepared for Stalin from the Interrogation of Hitler’s Personal Aides (New York: Public Affairs, 2005). 2 Michael A.
