Robert Kempner authored the book on Eichmann published in 1961 as 'Eichmann und Komplizen' (Zurich: Europa Verlag), which is an English-language 'Eichmann and Accomplices' in translation; the claim's rendering 'Eichmann and His Accomplices' adds 'His' and the post's 'literally called' overstates the match, but the book and author are confirmed by multiple bibliographic sources.

What was said

… you know, um, and that, uh, played directly into all of, for very different reasons, and played obviously directly into the Tel Aviv's ambitions and things. Very, very strange situation. Yeah, the book I was talking about at the outset of this discussion, it was, uh, Robert Kempner, and the book was literally called Eichmann and His Accomplices, you know, again suggesting that all the outlandish crimes attributed to the Third Right were carried out not by Hitler, but by this kind of middling lieutenant colonel who worked for the police.

What we found

Supports. The Jewish Virtual Library entry on Kempner states he wrote numerous books on the Nazi era, notably Eichmann und Komplizen (1961), a description of Eichmann's activities based on original documents.[1]

Supports. The Yad Vashem Eichmann trial bibliography lists Kempner, Robert, Eichmann und Komplizen, Zurich, 1961.[2]

Supports. The Encyclopedia.com entry on Kempner (published 2026-10-31) likewise names Eichmann und Komplizen (1961) among his notable books.[3]

Context. The Rassinier text quotes Kempner's book title in English as 'Eichmann and Accomplices', which differs from the claim's 'Eichmann and His Accomplices' only by the word 'His'. The original German title is 'Eichmann und Komplizen', so the post's 'literally called' is a loose rendering of the title rather than an exact one.[4][5]
