Not joking as much as you imagine. Try: http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/trials/eichmanntrialcapture.html ~ there’s some missing time in his travels. The Indianapolis trolly system was sold to Buenos Aires Argentina ~ newspapers made regular reports on various rail cars ~ the Argentinians ran them with the old advertising still on them. Worse, the OSS not only brought a bunch of SS people to near Buffalo NY for extensive intelligence debriefing (particularly Latvians) they also brought a bunch of them to Indianapolis to work with technical investigators ~ probably the old Naval Avionics group ~ but also to work at the RCA plant then owned by Sarnoff. There’s a lot more to it ~ but I like the streetcar angle because it accounts for Eichmann’s supplemental income in a period where researchers think he was in Argentina but couldn’t quite pin it down ~ putting him in Indianapolis on a turnover deal for the streetcar system fits and gives him a serious stipend at a critical time.
