History of the World: Devil’s Confession, Part 1

To escape justice after World War II, Adolf Eichmann fled to Argentina and, together with Nazi journalist Willem Sassen, recorded hours on tape bragging about his role in the Holocaust. When Eichmann was captured and put on trial in Israel in the 1960s, he denied all charges, but the recordings were known and prosecutor Gideon Hausner needed the tapes to prove the monster on trial.
