A new investigation reveals that the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) placed an agent in the prosecution team during the 1961 Adolf Eichmann trial in Jerusalem. Its aim was to prevent the exposure of former Nazi officials serving in the West German administration.
The agent submitted regular reports to the BND and worked specifically to protect Hans Globke, the powerful chief of staff to Konrat Adenauer. Globke had played a role in drafting the Jewish laws during the Nazi era and had risen to high positions in post-war West Germany.
This revelation shows how West German intelligence collaborated with former Nazi elements during the Cold War and how this structure shaped the early years of West Germany.
