Må Eichmann-papirer holdes hemmelige?

Hans Rustad

Den tyske journalisten Gabriele Weber har bedt om frigivelse av papirene om Adolf Eichmanns liv etter 1945; hvordan han kom seg ut av Tyskland og til Argentina og hans liv der. Den tyske etterretningstjensten BND insisterer på at de 4.500 sidene må holdes hemmelig av hensyn til fremmede tjenester som var behjelpelige den gangen.

Men få tror at fremmede tjenester bryr seg om hva som avsløres så mange år senere. Mistanken går heller i retning av at BND ikke vil vise verden hvordan tyske myndigheter snudde ryggen til at ledende nazister kom seg unna, med god hjelp av Vatikanet.

Now the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig, Germany, is studying the files about his getaway from Europe and life in Argentina to decide if they should be made public. The application for their release was made by German journalist Gabriele Weber.

The BND maintains that secrecy is necessary because “much of the information contained in the files was provided by an unnamed foreign intelligence service.” If released, the BND argues, it would “deter” other nations from sharing intelligence with Germany in the future.

But critics believe what the files will really reveal are the levels of assistance, succour and turning a blind eye to Nazi fugitives from officials in defeated Germany, together with details of Vatican assistance to top Nazis like him.

A decision on whether to release the files will be made in the next few weeks.

    Mariachi El Bronx – Holy.
    http://www.metacafe.com/watch/bg-4021909/mariachi_el_bronx_holy/

    Bits of my guns are covered in blood
    This town turned its back on the sun
    Now they will see how swift judgement can be
    Compared to a life on the run

    Holy, the face of God appears to be
    Holy, the face of God appeared to me

    Another city glazed, carelessly placed
    Withered and waiting for trial
    And now we will see how swift judgement can be
    When compared to a life of denial

    Holy, the face of God appears to be
    Holy, Mother Mary let them all die
    Slowly, hold me in your arms and please
    Console me, forgive what I’ve done
    I’m your son, please don’t send me to Hell

    These visions you see
    They’re not what they seem
    Even a God can be wrong
    This Virgin of peace
    Is down on her knees
    Begging for Death to move on

    Holy, the face of God appears to be
    Holy, Mother Mary, let them all die
    Slowly, hold me in your arms, appease them
    Solely, forgive what I’ve done
    I’m your son, please don’t send me to Hell

    Please don’t send me to Hell, oh no
