The Israeli prosecutor Gideon Hausner gets hold of a transcript of the interviews with Eichmann and it turns out that both Israel and West Germany are playing a dark game and that many want to hide the recordings from the outside world.
West Germany knows about the tape recordings with Adolf Eichmann and, knowing what explosives they involve, they try to negotiate with Israel. But what prosecutor Gideon Hausner doesn't know is that the West Germans don't want the tapes to come out because they expose several high-ranking Germans as complicit.
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.
