there are two questions here that concerns the question of eichmann, and one being when eichmann's capture hurt efforts to also capture mengele, what the relationship there might be. and then a question of whether mengele knew eichmann in south america or whether they, there's anything you can say about what he thought of eichmann. >> yeah. there -- they met, apparently, three times. and they were, really came from different social backgrounds. mengele was from a prosperous upper middle class family and eichmann was not. there's an interesting contrast. when mengele was waiting to make his way to genoa to argentina, he stayed at a hotel. when eichmann, under similar circumstances, he stayed in a monastery. he didn't have the money to stay in a hotel, and that kind of illustrates their differences. and also mengele was intellectual in a sense, and eichmann was not. so they didn't really get along very well. they weren't friends. it's a kind of misconception that mengele was still in buenos aires when eichmann was captured. it turns out that eichmann -- that mengele left argentina at the end

also mengele was intellectual in the sense, and eichmann was not. they really didn't get along very well. they were not friends. it's a common misconception that mengele was still in buenos aires when eichmann was captured it turns out mengele left argentina at the end of the summer of 1958, he got word that the german justice authorities were interested in him. and at that moment he began to find a new place to live, and he sold his interest in the pharmaceutical company. he gave his wife is power of attorney, and he went to paraguay in probably the late fall of 1958. 1958. he then moved to paraguay for good in 1959 in the spring. so by 1960 when eichmann was captured in buenos aires, mengele was long gone. now, the capture team that captured eichmann believed that mengele was still in buenos aires, and they made an attempt after eichmann was safely in the safest and interrogated him about in part about mengele, they went to former addresses they knew of for mengele and couldn't find him, but he could not of been captured because he wasn't there. >
