was so young then as a nazi-hunter.

I read the book, too. I found the (Mengele's?) attempted recreation of Hitler's youth to be a little preposterous. But overall it was suspenseful, dark, and as a late 70s movie, timely. I was too young to remember the importance of the Eichmann trial, but I knew a bit about Nazi history by the time the movie was released, thanks to, in part, movies like The Hiding Place, The Diary of Anne Frank, etc.
