The Sassen Tapes: Eichmann’s Hidden Admission

In 1957, three years before his capture by the Mossad, Adolf Eichmann sat for a series of interviews in Buenos Aires with Willem Sassen, a Dutch journalist and former SS volunteer. These recordings, known as the Sassen Tapes, provide a chilling counter-narrative to the banality of evil defense Eichmann later used in Jerusalem. While he would eventually claim to be a mere clerk caught in a bureaucracy, these tapes capture him in a state of pride, openly discussing his hands-on role in the Holocaust.

In this specific exchange, Eichmann moves past the logistics of train schedules and admits to coordinating directly with death camp officials to ensure the efficiency of the genocide.

Transcript

Eichmann: Suppose, for example, that I needed to organize 50 trains in the next two months. I heard they had to go to Auschwitz. I received an order, for example, to get a certain city judenfrei—cleansed of jews. I asked Pohl to supply me with the final destination. That was my main task.

Then, in this instance, I went to Auschwitz. I told those in charge, "These are the orders I received from the Head Office." I had to know, "How many can you take in per day?"

Sassen: So you weren’t just responsible for the trains? But you always had to add that they were designated for Sonderbehandlung?

Eichmann: Yes. That’s an important point. I had to announce it. Naturally. You know, it was routine. It was always the same. Always the same.

The terminology used here reveals the calculated nature of their bureaucracy. Judenfrei (free of jews) was the goal of the deportations, while Sonderbehandlung (Special Treatment) served as the standard SS euphemism for mass murder.

Eichmann’s mention of Oswald Pohl—the head of the SS-WVHA which managed the camps—and his question regarding daily capacity ("How many can you take in per day?") are particularly significant. They prove he wasn't just following a schedule; he was actively managing the flow of victims to ensure the gas chambers at Auschwitz could keep up with the arrivals.

In 1949, Josef Mengele used a fake Italian passport to seek asylum in Argentina under the alias "Gregor Helmuth," posing as a mechanical technician. By 1956, Mengele reverted to his real identity after obtaining a copy of his birth certificate through the West German Embassy in Buenos Aires

​The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil ("Arrow") was a heavy fighter built by Dornier for Germany during World War II. The Pfeil’s performance was superior to other twin-engine designs due to its unique push-pull configuration; by aligning the two engines in a tandem layout, Dornier significantly reduced aerodynamic drag compared to traditional wing-mounted engines.

​It remains one of the fastest piston-engine aircraft ever produced and held the title of the fastest German piston-powered aircraft of the war. Although the Luftwaffe was desperate to deploy the design operationally, chronic delays in engine deliveries and Allied bombing of production facilities meant that only a small number were completed before the war ended. Consequently, the Do 335 never saw active combat.
