His family said he contacted German authorities in the early 1950s to inform them about Eichmann’s whereabouts but got no response, Haaretz reported. Klammer, who reportedly knew of Eichmann’s true identity, returned to Germany. Using the name Ricardo Klement, Eichmann joined the firm soon after, but moved to Buenos Aires a few years later when the company developed financial difficulties. He found work at the Capri construction company in Tucuman Province in northern Argentina. Klammer - who studied geology, philosophy and history in Germany - emigrated to Argentina in 1950 to find work around the same time Eichmann arrived in the country under a fake name, according to Haaretz.

Now, 32 years after the geologist died, his family has agreed to reveal his name and his role in bringing the notorious Nazi to face justice in front of his accusers in a widely publicized and televised trial in Jerusalem. Klammer’s identity had remained a secret since the Israeli Mossad spy agency’s operatives abducted Eichmann in Argentina on May 11, 1960, and brought him to the Jewish state, where he was tried the following year and executed in 1962. The Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that Gerhard Klammer, a German who opposed the Nazi regime, provided the key information that allowed Israeli spies to track down Eichmann, one of the organizers of the “Final Solution” against Jews. Six decades after Nazi mass murderer Adolf Eichmann was hanged in Israel for his crimes, a German news outlet has revealed that the person who led to his capture was a geologist who worked with him at a construction company in Argentina.
