«Nazi Hunters». National Geographic - Videos, TV Shows & Photos - Canada (på engelsk). Besøkt 17. november 2019. «Herbert Cukurs is an officer in the Latvian Air Force and his country's most celebrated pilot. But after the Nazi invasion, he joins forces with the fascists, earning the nickname The Hangman of Riga. The sadistic Cukurs snatches babies from their mothers, burns a synagogue full of people, and is responsible for the extermination of 30,000 Latvian Jews. Twenty years later, Cukurs is living quietly in Sao Paolo, Brazil. That is, until the Nazi-hunting unit of the Israeli secret service tracks him down. Kicking off one of the most daring missions in its history, Mossad agents decide to execute Cukurs without a public trial, and send a message to Nazi war criminals the world over to fear for their lives.»
«Why the Mossad failed to capture or kill so many fugitive Nazis». Washington Post. 22. september 2017. «One notable success is not covered in the official history released this month: the hunt for Herberts Cukurs, a Latvian pilot who helped German forces during World War II. He became known as the Butcher of Riga, responsible for the murder of 30,000 Latvian Jews. Cukurs had reinvented himself as a Brazil-based tour guide who flew visitors over the Amazon rain forest.»
