Adolf Eichmann's role within the Nazi regime evolved over time, particularly from the late 1930s into the early 1940s as he became more involved in the administration of the Holocaust. Eichmann was primarily a bureaucratic figure, responsible for the logistics of mass deportations of Jews and the implementation of the "Final Solution." His shift toward a more administrative role can be pinpointed around 1941 when he was appointed to head the Department for Jewish Affairs in the SS.
