An internationally acclaimed aviation pioneer, Herbert Cukurs,
running a hydroplanes rental company out of Sao Paolo, Brazil,
liked his new customer: an Austrian businessman, who asked for a
short sightseeing flight. The pilot had no idea that his customer
was not Austrian but a top agent in the Israeli Mossad, working
under cover to set the trap for Cukurs - a criminal personally
responsible for the murder of over 30,000 innocent Jews. This was
the beginning of the 'war of wits' between the Nazi war criminal
and the German-born Israeli (both of whose parents had perished in
Nazi death camps). It was a unique duel, played out in the Sao
Paolo residence of the Cukurs family, in the jungles of Brazil, by
the lagoon of Porto Alegre and on the beautiful beaches of Punta
del Este. In this unique book a former senior Mossad agent
describes an operation carried out in 1964-65 to identify, locate
and execute the notorious Nazi war criminal Herbert Cukurs, who was
personally responsible for the murder of over 30,000 Latvian Jews.
The main part of the operation was undertaken almost
single-handedly by 'Anton Kuenzle'. identity as a successful
businessman and offering Cukurs a lucrative deal to entice him away
from his secure life in Brazil to a trap laid for him in Uruguay.
There Cukurs met his fate at the hands of a Mossad hit team.
