VISITING BUENOS AIRES ON OCTOBER 20, 1991, David Irving was handed two packets containing 426 pages of Adolf Eichmann typescripts by a Flemish friend of the Eichmann family, the late Hugo B. Eichmann was subordinate to SS Gruppenführer Heinrich Müller in the Gestapo department IV B 4.

The typescripts are on South American size 13 x 8.5 inch paper, and too flimsy to copy. Over the next months Mr Irving will now publish them here in facsimile. See too his draft Introduction (composed in no doubt less than flawless German) to these papers. See too the Eichmann memoirs as published by Die Welt Aug 1999 in full [in German] and our Eichmann Index

• Section IV, pages 1 to 21 - posted as a PDF file (4 MB): Eichmann's reminiscences about the Madagascar Plan; about Gruppenführer Heinrich Müller, his chief; Heydrich briefly secures a Vollmacht for this (Madagascar Plan) from Göring, July 31, 1941; Eichmann's failed plans for Niszko, the Jewish state in Poland; the origins of "Endlösung der Judenfrage"; then Heydrich tells Eichmann late 1941 -- improbable, as not the proper Dienstweg -- that Hitler has ordered the "physical annihilation" of the Jews; memories of Odilo Globocnik; Heydrich dictates a letter to Globocnik authorizing him to kill 250,000, and then another 250,000; outside Minsk, Eichmann witnesses a mass shooting of Jews, and is bespattered (curiously similar to Himmler's Aug 1941 experience); Eichmann speculates on who was behind the Order - concludes it was Goebbels and Bormann.
