Extract from a memorandum for the record of a oonversationnbetween
' the DOI and General Gehlen, Chief Of the West German Intelligence Service
which took place in Frankfurt, Germany on 27 August 1956. Fied$ Policy
"14, Dulles asked Gehlen whether he had decided to send his
daughter to the U.S. Gehlen replied that he hoped to do so in the
second half of next year. No specific mention of support was made
though I believe Gehlen must have recognized from the general tenor
of the conversation wwillingness to provide some."

Meeting with UTILITY

1. UTILITY and alias RAINER came to tea the afternoon of September 30.
2. There seem to be no worrisome problems involving us. Personnel and
other problems arising from legalization are UTIL1TY's major concern (Dr. 'Born
said to me at dinner the other night: "If he (UTILITY) keeps on with, this
Ausverkauf, he wont have any decent people left.") As you know, he has given
up 80 in the past few months. This assures him friends in important places,
but it doesn't produce reports.

3. We discussed the problem arising out of the pressure in my office of

mamma

commusem.

a USAREUR . repratentative under inStructions to liaise in Bonn on an opposite

"

number basis. We agreed that this is probably just as well., since the opposite galMC.
number will be Wieland; who will know how to handle it. USAREUR is certainly
entitled:to this representation, and it helps complete the normal overt picture.

4. We agreed that it wOU1d be well for Colonel Clay, the new)0tOPAL:chief,' to be briefed bylP0Band UPSWING. This visit may be combined with
theSvisitizif General Willems.'
. .
5. 'UTILITY' thinks' that the time has come to enter further into the.
.
:BOFIGHTER pietlire.under his new colors. This:seems reasonable enough., It is
a -subjeOt . that might 'well be explored during UTILITY's . Washington visit.

(Jul): The following info submitted by POB's C

Subject is one of 4 children resulting from 3 marriages by his father, each

following the death of the previous wife. One of these marriages resulted in
. 2 children and each of the others in one. At least one of the wives had been
previously married and had chilAren; thus, Subject has full, bRlf and step
brothersaand. eisters. One brother died in the Orient (Shanghai) during WW II.
One sistWrial4Led an individual of the same name, i.e..GEHLEN, who, as a young
man, came to live with Reinhard GEHLEN's family. This GEHLEN was a..German,Navy.
. officer during the . ver, although he is a lawyer by trAining. At the end of
WW IIhe worked for a time in the British Zone administering a Navy project
for the British. Fi nnlly he emigrated. to Brazil with his wife and there, with
a former schoolmate, entered a business firm which encou7tered some initial
difficulties but eventually got on its feet. When the GermanEmtbassjuritse.,,L,..tj
reestablished in Brazil after WW II, this `biother-in-laittWed -fOr a position;

Brother Giovanni (v-11893) in Rome is, of course, well known; his own statements during his postwar interrogation provide a rather exact description of
where he fits into the family and how he became the Italian wing of the family.

Transtaittal of Letter and Medal

from UTILITY to Robert A. Ascham
ACTION REQUIRIO: None
1. Separate cover attachment contains personal letter from UTILITY to
Aachen expressing . his thanks for his recent but illfated trip to the States
and his regrets at failing to. meet with Robert A. Ascham as planned because
of the International situation. You wil note that UTILITY still looks forward . to resuming the trip probably sometime after the Christmas holidays: "I
might add that at such time the trip should be planned with air transportation both ways and should probably include only such time as is necessary in
Washington to carry out the planned briefings and discussions.
The gold modal that is sUbmitted is explained in UTILITY' s letter.
It ehoU/d be noted that this medal which is numbered (1) on the reverse side
.
outside of.,Toppp:..; It differs frita
is the first to be given by
tlioie 'giro to the members of :P11,51711q _. pnly in that it is gold whereas theirs

741 7

are brows!.
3. ,;C

asked UTILITY

if there

was

any special significance to the

selection- 7dt -St. George for the medal since he is the Patron Saint of England.

VTILITI:regied that this had not occurred' to him at all but assured no that
there ..was.no % special significance and then added with a twinkle that . it vas
probilArfiqietter choice mho*, than 'would be St. Patrick, the Patron Saint
of Ireland vhidh, after ;11, is s neutralist state.
.. Incidentally, UTILITY. has several ether medals for distribution to
former 'MARK friends and supporters of :ciTplrlp Previously stationed with the
German Mission. So far none of these metaentO-6 . have been given to any other

Some Problems Looming forUTILlTt--in Bonn

.

1. We are

beginning

can rest on his laurels

to

get

indications that the period WhOuiitiii

and enjoy the life of a country squirt in PullaCh,

his great battles fought =dim, may be drawing to a cloee. His old
enemy. , Achim Oster, has been whispering into Strauss' emr, and be his net
been Whispering sleet nothings.. The burden of his Bluesterlieder hie been
that a. lenister . of Defense cannot afford to by dependent for intelligence
-collection upon a Civilian organization not under his cOntrol. Be should
have biz own, and Achim Oster would be just the men to head it. Strauss
buys the idea if not, as we are told, the man. Oster has alsomade-Strauss
autreref themumber ofDTIL1TY men, including particularly alias WIELAND,
by. 'whoa be is surrounded in key positions. The foregoing we have ficii a

.clandestine source in Boon, and it baartcently been confirmed in general

by UTILITY himself, who adds the previously weLl-thought of de Warier* as
one of the devil'e advocates.
2. Another annoyance is XleirarynAgg, whio continues to poison the
well froaparis. Tria177bas recently caked to be put into touch with
General SChweitzur in Ptrilp-Athich we Shall arrange through General
in order to shortstop the KielmannseEs-Hinistry channel. Nor art bis troubles
on the military aide alone.

3. The Poreign Offiso is reported to be peeved about the IIPSIMG-YRIERUBT

political reporting Channel, and those of BPSW1Matiireperts.whinhreotivol

March 1957, New York City. Copy filed in ALDIPRACO

5. In a philosophical view Gehlen figurativelystepped back from his

current problems to note that he had neither military nor political aspirations
and asked nothing more of the future than success in developing the GIS into
a professional service capable of naking a contribution to the . cause 'of the
dedicated. Noting that the
Western World to which Gehlen continues to

has been and remains his
and the last WW II chief of

view I am including it
Please discuss it with C.
along with the
previous point. SNEDDUM stated that the SNOOTHERS continue to have some worrtes
aboutNTILITVe capacities in the area of management within the executive .
department or as I have written c
2 "jungle warfare". He mentioned
having watchediUTTLITT during a_dinner in Bonn attended by SMOOTH7R representatives
and a few Germans including OOSA.He said that : UTILIWS'attitude toward apsk was somewhat like that of the small schoolboy in the presence of a Potent
headmaster. Needless to say, thia was hardly encouraging. Despite this, however,
the SMOOTHERS decided, as indicated in the preceding paragraph, since they feel
that.UTILMis the best available bet.

smanc-- 1953TTILIITVisit to Headquarters

ACTION REQUIRED: See Paragraph 4
1. in keeping with the ASCHAUTILITY desires mutually expressed in their
last two meetings, UTILITY isalready beginning to talk about his 195J visit to
Headquarters. He speaks tentatively of February or F:arch as a most suitable time
artly influenced by his need to be on hand in
' from his point of view.
Germany at the start-ef - tile new fisc, year On 1 April. In this connection and

accompany him. Al expenses Lor bo parties would be paid by

Di-

2. Although it is too early to speak of any firm agenda at this t .!me. such
a visit would be centered chiefl y around talks with ,Robert:A. -- ASCHAM; C
Specific topics for discus,:FletCher-M. Knight and
sion will probably jell between now and then, but will undoubtedly include ;.1E
cooperation, PP Activities, P14 proposals, and the political situation in general.
Certainly an item of value would be to arrange for:UTILITY to meet with one or
two high level ODACID or other important governmental officials as a means of
broadening and influencing UTILITY vis-a-vis PBPRIME:

3. Regarding Hertel, it is not so easy to speculate. Judging from the

' difficulties involved in the proposed von Streit visit, Hertel's accompanying
::.UTILITY may make the lattet's visit to a large extent unmanageable. Please let asacall
usInow your views on this so that we can inform UTILITY sufficiently ahead
togroma
of time,
. .
4. Despite HUTILITY' . s intention to pay his own way as he goes it is deemed =CC
necessary that he be escorted especially in view of his continuing desire to
sticenica
travel under andassumed name and just for security reasons in general. For
this purpose it is recommended that Headquarters agree in principle to this
be named the escort officer la=

only be a one day affair on the problems of an intelligence agency that should
be of concern 'Co the top governmental finance official. The remainder of

10 September 1958,

walk-up apartment building located at 29 KoblenZpr (Allee? Strasse?).
The name on the door of UTILITY's apartment is t.

for Cryptography.

For our files we would be appreciative of learning through Bonn

names of the other residents in this building on the chance that
may belong to UPSWING. Unfortunately, without being clumsily
had not the opportunity to pick up these names either on
or departing the building since he was accompanied both ways.

3.. The apartment itself is rather plain and obviously lacks the woman's touch, which is probably a good thing since Mrs. UTILITY seldom,
if ever, visits Bonn. A few handsome items, however, are a table lighter
another, .a table
furnished as a gift on one occasion by r,
lighter (UTILITY has a desk and a table in the living room); and a transistorized desk clock furnished as gifts by 4: 0;1. UTILITY drew attention
to these items and stated the clock has been functioning continuously and
without adjustment since Christmas 1956. He called it a fine example of
American workmanship that he was proud to have in his apartment.

4. UTILITY was kind enough to look up the location and phone number
. 3. and while he did so . it afforded
of the Park Hotel, Bad Godesberg for , L
the opportunity to note a* number jotted Aiivin on the outside of a-private
telephone listing book, viz. "8-68713" followed :1), " 4udes 13 IIS." Does
this mean anything to Bonn Base? Possibly it has some operational significance if it can be figured out. On the other hand, it may refer only to
his tailor or candlestick maker.

I am asked to discuss the special legislation concerning CIA which mduld.

certain reaponsibilities

necessarily have a direct bearing on the way in

Among these are: (a),

the responsibility to protect official Secrets, (b) the responsibility to administer

the personnel in his agency in accordance with established standards of justice
and. fair Play and (c) the responsibilityto spend the monies given to him economi. cally.

Within these broad limitationsi the Director of Central intelligence derites

We have briefly reviewed the powers that the Director enjOye as the

S',4

head. of a federal agency and have

:1

touched

on the legislation which hao been

passed over the 1aot,80 years and which has the effect of limiting these
powers. Noy, very briefly, let me describe the authorities which we use

as an Agency which places personnel overseas. I shall use the post .

differential as my example. Post differential is a payment made to
government employees assigned to posts involving extraordinarily difficult
living conditions, excessive physical hardship or notably unhealthy
. conditions. Part I of Executive Order No. 10,060 delegates to the Secretary
*of

State the.authority vested in the President. to designate places, fix.

rates and.prescribe further regulations governing the payment of additional *:

cdmpensation to .be . known as foreign post differential to employees in foreign
ares.o . of executive departments and independent establishments Of the United

. : States goVernment .. In addition to this specific allowance there are

'dozens of. others pertaining to the cost of housing', the tranaportation of.

an . employee's possessions 'overseae, the provision of allowances for

' .

education; of employees' children and medical care: As a generalization

to say that, although there have been written into CIA lay,

certain specific provisions lathe field of medical cares these benefits

who meets those eStablished by the Director himself. He

'

does

not draw his

candidates from Civil Service rosters and the Civil Service Commission

does

not know the names Of the persons he hires. He is, thus, free to exercise
discretion in the assembling of his staff.
Secondly, the Director can remove any employee from the Agency without
reference to any other authority in the government. His authority to do this

La Contained in Section 102 (c) . of the National Security Act of

Fio All y, there is, one type of legislation which we do not have and which
we seek. That is early retirement legislation. We are at present authorized
to separate people who do not meet Agency standards. There are, however, man

5'

and women on duty in CIA who began their work in intelligence during the:
Second World War or shortly thereafter and who sometime in the next ten years
;
'

for one reason or other will have become excess to our needs. At that time .

they will'be.in their fifties. CIA has, no way of providing for a retirement.,

rectly to apartment #29, the entrance for#31'serving.for both.
Apartment #33 does have a . separate entrance. There JO a sign

4. On 19 November 1958, a brown Volkswagen with the

license number 'BN S 63 was observed parked on 'Erste Paehrgasse
by the side entrance to apartment #29.
5. In regard to the notation on the outside of the private
telephone listing book mentioned in paragraph 4 of reference,
we offer the following speculation: If one is calling from a
Bonn exchange, the prefix 8 is dialed to reach Bad Godesberg.
The number series 68000 is quite common in Bad.Godesberg.
"Rudes 13 IIS" might possibly refer to Ruedesheimerstr. 13 in
Bad Godesberg. We verified the existence of such an address
and find that it is located in an area of recently constructed;
better-class apartment dwellings. The addrese is not, however,
listed in the 1957 Bad Godesberg Address Book.

'thattotteAORS- would not make the trip as stated in reference, We did not
considi-r the withdrawal of:MORSof such significance as to warrant a cable.
2. Although not so stated in the cable traffic on the flight, all of our

effort to fill us in on the, details of this trip'.

The President of the rederal GerMao Intelligence Service

Dear Mr. Dulles:

Spurred by the recent founding of the Moscow Friendship University,
private intereete in the Federal Republic plan the foundation of an
international Institute of nigher . learning under the name "International
University of Haman 'Algae.'
The interests i. question feel that while the academic inetitutionz
of the oon7Communist World are making a substantial contribution to the
East=West spiritual struggle, that cootribution does not measuro up to
the danger of ideological infiltration. This danger may be expected to
increase ao the result of the Communist Declaration and Appeal to tho
Nations of the World.publistied following the Dee ember 1960 Moscow 'load
Conference of Communist Parties, since the spiritual attack of or14
CoMmuniam is essentially directed at the posture and image or the nonCommunist World, the sense of values, especially of the world's youth,
is ever more seriously threatened. The sponsors of the proposed unlvereity are pezansded that 'only a united effort on the part of the
leading . non-Commmaist nations can arrest this development, and that
only an acadenie institution of international scope is capable of
suteessful counteraction. Particular attention mast be given , to the
youth of the developieg'countriss,.towsrd whoa the Moscow University .
exerts a strong power of attraction. It is true that theta youog people
receive specialised trainingle the greatestvarietiof non-Communist
institutes of learning. Itevertheless, the prerequisites for
. a systematic
.
saturation of the conscience of these young people with the values of
theAtlaitit Culture are usually eissing.
It's Vest Oman sponsors conceive the proposed international
institute in the following terms:

1. Goal of the International University.of Hunan Sights

is thapreparationofthe citizenry of all non-Conaunist
states of-the world for the spiritual struggle with World

ComuLiax.

WAAL:

2. ?hie goal requires 4 curriculum conoentrated in the.

discipline of philosophical anthropolOgy. At the &Sae tine,
practical considerotions require epecinlization in the field
of adainistratiOn and economics.
3. The University should be founded and andoved by an
international Foundation and thereby considered an international institution.
4. The administration of the University should be in
the hands of a small directorate designated by the Foundation.

5. The seat of the University should be in one of the

smaller European state's.
6.

The University

should be financed through donations.

7. The faculty should be composed of noted academicians

from the non-Communist world.
8. Initially, students at the University should be
financed exclusively through stipends of the Foundation.
Since this planning maycoincide with activitrof similar circles
in your country, I want to cull:your attention to it.
Particularly in view of indications that finanetalauppOrt-nay be
available from Ctrman industrial sources, I WI inclined to support the
proposal outlined shove in broad terms. However, I . would lend my support
only lathe event you have Da basic objection to such i project.

I should be very appreciative if you could let

5. General Gehlenwill be welcomed by you on Monday, 24 April,

at 1530 hours. On Thursday evening, 27 April, he will be your dinner
guest at the Alibi Club, and then on Friday, 28 April, at 1500 hours,
an hour has been set aside to enable you to have more substantive conversation with him. There follows a list of subjects that you may wish to
touch on during your conversation with him:
a.

The increased strength and stature of his organization:

The Federal Government has authorized General Gehlen

to proceed with a five-year plan of expansion and development.
Thus in 1965 when the plan is completed, the BND should be
one of the strongest intelligence agencies in the Western
world.
b.

Continuing need for military intelligence from the SinoSoviet Bloc:

We have been gratified to note that the Army in Germany

has recently expressed its considerable satisfaction with the
BND's military reporting. This remains one of the most
useful and important tasks performed by the German service
and should have our wholehearted support.
c.

Our interest in African and Near Eastern operations

of the BND:

The Federal. Government has authorized the expenditure

of ,7, 000, 000 DM in support of pro-Western elements in the
Congo. We feel that Germany as a power with no recent
colonial connections can make a contribution in assisting and
guiding underdeveloped countries.
d.

Berlin:

We attach great importance to the effort that the Germans

can make singly and in concert with the U.S. and our allies
to contribute to a stable and normal life for the populace in
Berlin. We will continue to require early warnings of a most
accurate and specific nature concerning planned Soviet or
East German moves against the population or communications
of West Berlin.

r
e.

Cuba, Laos, South Vietnam, and the Congo:

General Gehlen will undoubtedly appreciate very much

hearing from you any statement that you think appropriate
concerning any or all of these trouble spots.
f.

Eichmann trial:

Chancellor Adenauer has apparently given General Gehlen

the task of following the Eichrnann trial as closely as possible.
He would probably be pleased to give you his evaluation of
its probable course and effect, as well as an opinion as to
whether anything particularly surprising is likely to emeege
which might have an effect on the Western psychological
position.
g.

University of Human Rihts:

It would be useful to hear from General Gehlen what

progress has been made by the group with which_he was
associated in the organization of a University of Human Rights,
about wh;.ch he wrote you a letter early in the year.
h. IL-18 Crash:
The BND was extremely efficient in handling the recent
IL-18 crash in Bavaria for the benefit of the intelligence
community. Through the BND we received one of the motors
for Air Force technical analysis. It would be appropriate to
express appreciation to General Gehlen for this assistance
to the U.S. intelligence community in Germany.
i.

Counterintelligence:

One of the officers who will accompany Gehlen to

Washington, r
A is spending the week with us
in very detailed conversations concerning leads from the
high-level Polish intelligence defector we are now debriefing
with respect to possible hostile penetration of the BND. This
is not a subject to be gone into with General Gehlen in depth;
however, we have been pleased by his determined approach to
this security threat. He appreciates our having provided the
leads and supporting data to him.

My

dear

Cane ml

Geblen:

May I take this opportunity to convey to you our genuine appreciation.

for the opportunity to discuss tnatters of mutual interest with Mr. Havre
during the course of his recent visit to the United St*tes. We trust the
discussions were as valuable to him and to the BND as they were to us.
One item, the matter of our overt contacts program, was the subject of a
particularly stimulatieg discussion in terms of the possibility that the
BND might initiate such a program, and I promised Mr. Herre I would
write to you personally to express some of my viewa.
The background of this subject is, of course, not new to you
since we have briefed you and several of your staff members about our
contacts operations an several occasions. I do wish to reemphasize that
we feel our overt contacts program has been a very substantial success.
We believe that with rac4ifications.. the idea could be equally successfully
employed by your organization in spite of the Special problems which you
face in Gerrnasry. The completely non-clandestiue aspect of our contact
with the business and professional world has been our guarantee that such
operations can be carried out on a large scale without significant ern herrs-semeat. in fact, positive benefits are reaped entirely aside from the intelligence product. We demonstrated to Mr. Herre how this program has
1: eratribttted significantly to our store of bazic intelligence in the economic,
scientific, geographic and sociological fields: We feel that in addition to
receiving intelligence concern
' ing the Corameniet orbit, we have been
able through this program. to acqaire much useful data conceruing the
undsrdritilopeel areas of the world. The value af this material in planning
and validating our government aid programs cannot be exaggerated.
It appears to my colleagues and myself that with Germany playing
each * key role in world affairs, and with German businessmen and
professional people travelling to all corners of the earth, an overt
operation of this sort would add very substantially to the intern/once
potentiat of your : Organization. In. addition, such a program might servo
you well over it period of tisne 'by establishing and fostering a feellrer
of good will toward the BND among the members of the German business
community which Would make itself felt in terms of improved opportunities
for clandestine operations.

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH AUGUST 20; 1961

The first of a series of artifice on
1d' *nteliigence aerince;-`
th

How, in the ashes of the Nazi defeat, a German

intelligence organisation was saved for the West
by the man who now heads Bonn's Secret Service

germany's Secret Phoenix

Oyou knoW, who is head of the

D British Secret-Service 7 You do
not 7 Neither do 1. Nor do more than
a handful of top officials in Whitehall.
- And even those who do know his
identity never refer -to him by name. By
them, as by the few hundred officers of his
Own service, the Cabinet Ministers; and
the civil servants and Service officers on
the distribution list of his reports, he is
talked of onl y. as " C," the coldly
impersonal cypher inherited from his predecessors by each successive -head of
Britain's Secret Service.
Such discretion is not, however, practised by the Secret Service heads of other
countries. When the Americans set up
the Office of Strategic Services during the!
last war, it soon leaked out that its chief'
was that flamboyant character "Wild"
Bill Donovan. The Central Intelligence
Agency Which later took the-place of O.S.S.
Was equally unwilling or unable to hide
that one of the United States. most successful operators in the fields Of intelligence and underground diplomacy had
taken charge of itAllen Welsh Dulles.
-As for the Germans, the -identity of
their Secret Service Chiefs was .so well
known to us during the war that at least
one branch of Britain's propaganda service
was able to make great play of the cutthroat intrigues and rivalries between
Hitler's secret men, from Admiral Canaris
and Heydrich, to Schellenberg 1Caltenbrunner. and " Gestapo " Muller. Only
one of Hitler's spy chiefs escaped publicity,
.quiet methodical young staff officer
named Reinhard Gehlen. who from 1942
to the end of the war, as chief of the Army
High Command department "Foreign
Armies East," was in command of all antiSoviet operations.

By SEFTON DELMER

The purpose of- this photographic

blackout, I presume,. is to safeguard him
from attempts.on his life. For Gehlen, like
everyone else in West Germany, has to do
all his work in close proximity to the Iron
Curtain and he is very conscious -that his
Soviet or Soviet-German antagonists might
try to rub him out, or kidnap him in the
same way that they have already succeeded
in abducting some of his men. He never
uses the same car two trips running
(although he.indulges a . give-away passion
for variations of the Mercedes 3013).
carries a gun himself-and wherever he goes
he is accompanied by two bodyguards
even, as I discovered for myself, when he
-calls at AdenaUer's office in Bonn.
But even if they had a good photograph of him I fancy the agents of
Soviet-German spy chief Erich Mielcke
would have a tough job memorising his
lace. For the fact is that Gehlen has one of
those expressionless faces of which there
are thousands sitting behind desks in
German government offices.
I met him once, seven years ago. when
we both of us happened to be calling on
Dr. Hans Globke, Chancellor Adenaue.r's
Chef de Cabinet. And, although .1 was
fully aware of Gehlen's job and its import
ance, his features made so little

IntelligenCe Service which would get information from behind the Iron Curtain for
the Americans. As Gehlen himself tells
the story nowadays he made three
demands to the Americans before accepting
I. The staff of his unit should be exclusively under his orders. They should,
work as a purely German organisation
on a fixed dollar budget financed by the
Americans.
2. No member of his unit should be made
to Work against German national
interests. .
3. Until Germany regained her sovereignty and formed a government of
her own, he, Gehlen, should be regarded
by the Americans as a trustee of German
interests in matters of intelligence. Ile
should be free to pass his organisation'
over to the German Government after
Germany had regained sovereignty.
The Americans accepted Gehlen's
terms,, granted him a fixed budget of 3}
million dollars a . year (they increased it
soon after) and provided for him, his staff.
and their families a special compound of
their own at Pullach, near Munich, where
they. could live and Work in secret.
Ironically the compound which was allo-
cated to Hitler's former spy chief was the
Rudolf Hess settlement, a housing estate
consisting of a . score of one- and twofamily houses, which had originally been
built to house Nazi Party functionaries
with large families.' It had been used as a
secret staff headquarters by Hitler auring
the , war and a number of prefabricated
huts had been added which came in most
useful now.

Secret Work
Here now behind a high barbed-wire
fence and with 'a battalion of German
auxiliaries under U.S. command guarding
them the Gehlen team set to work in conditions: of secrecy, .amounting almost to
iselaticin. Even the children of the Gehlen
men were not allowed to leave the camp
for fear that they might give away what
was going. on. They were sent to a
special school in the early and with them
went Gehlen's awn four youngsters.
But Gehlen, whose Flemish family
motto Laet vaeren nytt (" Never give up ")
now hung once more on the wall of his
private sanctum, had' got where he wanted.
For not only was he able to turn his unit
into a shadow ,German General Staff but
more important still he was now in a
position to supply. the Americans with the
kind of intelligence which would make
them feel that it was. essential to re-create
theGerman Army to help in the defence
of Europe against the Russians.
And he was doing so at exactly the
same time as the German Communist
spy'. -corps sent into the West from the
Sdviet zone of Germany, in order to
demonstrate their indispensability to the
Kremlin were reporting to their Russian
masters the . allegedly nefarious Allied plotting against Moscow in the Western

zones of Germany.
Among * the staff 'officers whom
he recruited for his organisation was
his old chief at the High Command,
Lieut.-Gen. Adolf Heusinger, later
to become the first Inspector-General
of the new West German army.
Heusinger is today chairman of
N.A.T.O.'s standing Military comMittee, a position which, like his previous command of the Bundeswchr, he
owes very 'largely to the good words
put in for him with the Americans
by the influential Gehlen.
Not that Heusinger did intelligence work for Gehlen while he was
in Pulach. As Hcusinger tells the
story Gehlen 'called on him early in
1948. 'just after he had been
released from internment'. and sug
gested he should join Gehlen's unit to keep
himself up to date on the Red Army.
" It might be a good thing," said
Gehlen, according to Heusinger, "if you
inform yourself about the military situation
in the Fast. You can .do that if you join
my shop."

The Academy
Other old staff officer comrades likewise took 'jobs with Gehlen. And soon
there was almost as much planning being
done In Pullach for the new German Army
which Gehlen felt sure the Americans
would require before long as for the job
of providing the Americans with intelli gence reports. Quite a number of top
officers of. the new Bundeswehr graduated
from the
" Doctor's" academy.
But while Gehlen was taking former
generals and staff-officers on to his pay-roll
in the higher echelons of his new intelligence unit (and even today most of the
officials who represent him in his snore
important . liaison functions with government and industry are old staff officersof
" sound" conservative background) his
- operatives were also recruiting at a lower
and more secret lev .c1 many former members of Himmier's S.D. and Gestapo.
We had to do this " is the usual
explanation given by Gehlen men. "The
Soviet authorities were using so many S.D.
and Gestapo men in their service that this
was a good way of penetrating the Red
espionage and counter-espionage outfits."
One result of this engagement of S.D.
men by both the Gehlen service and the
espionage services of his Soviet-German
rivals was that the battle between Gehlen
and the Communist spy chiefs .Wollweber
and Zaisser and their present successor
Erich Mielcke became a war between rival
gangs of S.D. men, with many of them
working for both sides or rapidly changing
from one to the other. Every week this
astonishing war between the two rival
armies of ex-T-Iimmler thugs takes its fresh
toll of arrests, murders and kidnappings.
Of these I will tell in my next article.

Intelligence Service which would get information from behind the Iron Curtain for
' the Americans. As Gehlen himself tells
the story nowadays he made three
demands to the Americans before accepting
1. The staff of his unit should be' exclusively under his orders. They should,
work as a purely German organisation
on a fixed dollar budget financed by the
Americans.
2. No member of his unit should be made
to Work against German national
interests. .
3. Until' Germany regained her sovereignty and formed a government of
her own, he, Gehlen, should be regarded
by the Americans as a trustee of German
interests in matters of intelligence, lie
should be free to pass his organisation*
over to the German Government after
Germany had regained .sovereignty.
The Americans accepted Gchlen's
terms, granted him a fixed budget of 3}
million dollars a year (they increased it
soon after) and provided for him, his staff,
and' their families a special compound of
their own at Pullach, near Munich, where
they could live and work in secret.
Ironically the compound which was allocated to Hitler's former spy chief was the
Rudolf Hess settlement, a housing estate
consisting of a score of one- and twofamily.houses, which had originally been
built to house Nazi Party functionaries
with large families. It had been used as a
secret staff headquarters by Hitler (luring
the war and a number of prefabricated
huts had been' added which came in most
useful now;

Secret Work
Here now behind a high barbed-wire
fence and with .a battalion of German
auxiliaries under U.S. command guarding
them the Gehlen team set to work in conditions-' of secrecy, Amountin g almost to
isolation. Even the children of the Gehlen
men were not allowed to leave the camp
for fear that they might give away what
was going on. They were sent to a
special school in the camp and with them
went Gehlen's Own four youngsters.
But Gehlen, whose Flemish family
motto Laet vaeren nytt ("Never give up ")
now hung once more on the wall of his
private sanctum, had' got where he wanted.
For not only was he able to turn his unit
into a shadow German General Staff but
more important still he was now in a
position to supply the Americans With the
kind of intelligence which would make
them feel that it was essential to re-create
the German Army to help in the defence
of Europe against the Russians.
And he was doing so at exactly the
time as the German Communist
spy Corps sent into the West from the
Soviet zone of Germany, in order to
demonstrate their indispensability to the
Kremlin were reporting to their Russian
masters the allegedly nefarious Allied plot, ting against Moscow in the Western
zones of Germany.
Among the staff officers whom
he rccruitcd for his organisation was
his old ,chief at the High Command,
Lieut.-Gen. Adolf Heusinger, later
to become the first Inspector-General
of the new West German army.
of
Heusinger is today N.A.T.O.'s standing mlitary comniittee, a position which, like his previous command of the Bundeswehr, he
owes very largely, to the good words
put in for him with the Americans
by the influential Gehlen.
Not that Heusinger did intelligence work . for Gehlen while he was
in Pulach. As Heusin ocr tells the
story Gehlen called on 'shim early in
1948, just after he had been
released from internment and suggested he should join Gehlen's unit to keep
himself up to date on the Red Army.
"It might be a good thing." said
Gehlen, according to Heusinger, ' if you
inform yourself about the military situation
in the East. You can do that if you join
my shop."
same

The Academy
Other old staff officer comrades likewise took 'jobs with Gehlen. And soon
there was almost as much planning being
done in Pullach for the new German Army
which Gehlen felt sure the Americans
would require before long as for the job
of providing the Americans with intelli
gence reports. Quite a number of top
officers of the new Bundcswehr graduated
from "the Doctor's" academy.
But while Gehlen was taking former
generals and staff-officers on to his pay-roll
in the higher echelons of his new intelligence unit (and even today most of the
officials who represent him in his more
important . liaison functions with government and industry arc old staff officersof
" sound" conservative background) his
operatives were also recruiting at a lower
and More secret level many former mem.
bers of HimmIcr's S.D. and' Gestapo.
"We' had to do this is the usual
explanation given by Gehlen men. " The
Soviet authorities were using so many S.D.
and Gestapo men in their service that this
was a good way of penetrating the Red
espionage and counter-espionage outfits."
One result Of this engagement of S.D.
men by both the Gehlen service and the
espionage services of his Soviet-German
rivals was that, the battle between Geblen
and the Communist spy chiefs Wollweber
and Zaisser and their present successor
Erich Mielcke became a war between rival
gangs of S.D. men, with many of them
working for both sides or rapidly changing
from one to the other. Every week this
astonishing war between the two rival
armies of ex-Himmler thugs takes its fresh
toll of arrests, murders and kidnappings.
Of these I will tell in my next article.

remains the main battlefield.

in the war between the two rival
gangs of Hitler's former Secret Service
men.
. On the one side are those working
under Communist Sccurity chief Erich'
Mielcke for East Germany and Moscow.
On the other, those working for theWest
under 59-ycar-old Reinhard Gehlen,
Hitler's former chief of anti-Soviet espionage, who, after spying for the Americans
during the first ten post-war years, is today
the Secret Service chief of Chancellor
Adenauer's Federal Republic. -Hardly a
week passes without announcements from
both sides of agents captured, of murders.
abductions and disappearances.
While I was in West Berlin recently the .
newspapers there announced the shanghaiing from West Berlin of Heinz Brandt. a
former leader Of the Soviet-German metal
workers' union, who two years earlier had
escaPed from the- East to the West. The
Soviet-Germans promptly retorted that
Heinz Brandt had been arrested on SovietGerman territory at Potsdam while trying
to recruit informants for the service of

Reinhard Gehlen.
. And as I write the West German newspapers are full of the trial for treason of
a 'certain Commander Walter' Krenz.of the
West German Navy. Krenz is a former
officer of Hitler's.Navy who became .a spy
for 'the Russians after the wit-. Under
instructions ,from; his 'Soviet masters he
joined the new German. Navy in 1957 as a
radar specialist..'fot four years he passed
them ill the N.A.T.O. secrets that came his
way:

The fact is that cases like that of

the political upheavals; the defeats-suffered
by such super-patriots and super-chauvinists as the Kaiser and Hitler; the to-ing and

among trwty Germans an opportunism in

As a result it is quite common for

' ed
agents of the Gchlen service to be turn
found by 'the Communists, and for agents
of Micicke to be turned round by Gehlen.
The . Communists . have boasted more
about their prowess in this respect than
Gehlen. For with a . population in their

or two of his triumphs to become known.
Most impressive of these was his success
in planting an agent in the office of Ernst
Wollweber himself, the first almbst
legendary spy chief of Soviet Germany.
The scent was a certain Walter
Gramsch who went under the cover name
of " Brutus " in the Gehlen service. Because
he was personally know to Wollwcber as
a Social- Democrat and a transport- expert,
he was able. to get himself a job in
Wollwe6er's Transport Commissariat early
in 1946.
This was only a few months after,

Suspicion of Gramsch. He quickly worked

his way tip to the important position of,:
director of the department " Fleet and
Harbours".
From this position " Brutus " was able
to send back much valuable information,.
not only about Soviet troop movements
but also about the organisation. the
personnel, and the act vi tics of Wollweber's
spy net. Wollweber far from suspecting Gramsch. went out Of his way to praise
him for the devotion and thoroughnesSrhe
showed in his work in the Commissariat.
Gramsch might still be working as
" Brutus " for Gehlen in the Srivirt Cerman
administration had not Gehlen . signalled
him to drop everything and flee to West
Berlin. The date was November 8, 1953.
What caused this sudden recall ? The
West German spy chief himself had fallen
for a " Brutus '7, a former Ilimmler
protege called Ge yer. Geyer.- wtio had
been Working for WollWeber 'andl his . predetessor, had allowed- himself to he taken
on by a man doing " research work" in
East Germany for Gehlen. . He had so
greatly impressed nis.hosses In the Gehlen
service with his efficiency that after a time
they called him to West Berlin and set him
to -work there in a branch of their
,organisation.
Geyer's job in West Berlin- 1A-as to
help, direct the work of a group of Gehlen
operators, in .Soviet Germany. He had
access to some of the most important files
in the Berlin section and learned the Identities- of' many more 'than the 30 agents'
under his control.
Geyer kept it up for more than a year.
Then, when he had prepared a coup which
he feared would.give him away, he escaped
across the sector border to Soviet Berlin
and.riefety. It. did not take the Gehlen
menitatig to discover his defection. And
the moment they did, they sent oUt signals
to, all the agents they thought might . be
endangered' ordering 'them home, "Brutus"
was one of those saved.

Secret Telephone Link..

.Amcin g.Gcyces- victims was Werner
Haase, a tough and courageous ex-officer
OfiHitler's Army; who under the name of
;/-filater,had command of Gehlen branch
120a Jn'West Berlin. He had arranged to
'secret telephone cable across a canal
Ifeidekampet:ben . from West
Berlin into the Soviet Sector in order, as he
drily put it When obtaining approval for his
scheme. " to facilitate inter-sector com
munications."
Alas, for thegallant Haase. The Cchlen
agent . who was to have received the
.cable on the other bank had been arrested
as a result of Geyer's' denunciation and he.
had given away the plan. On the even.

In 1956, when his period of service

with the Americans was almost at an end
and his espionage organisation was ahnitt

secret speech before the Twentieth Congress of the CoMmunist Party. It was the
sensational speech in which Khrus
denounced the crimes of Joseph St.. .
3cfore the Soviet propagandists were able
to edit 'and bowdlerise it the Americans
had published it throughout the world.
Gehlen is particularly well equipped for
staging coups of this kind. For he and his
officers, reinforced in the meantime by
many Civilian technicians and experts. have
had long experience in handling Russian
defectOrs and sending them back to work
in the Soviet Union itself. Nor have all the
agents Gehlen left behind him in Russia
and the .East European countries as
Hitler's armies retreated, been expended
yet. There are -still a number there whom
Gehlen has 'deliberately refrained from
using. They avait their turn to serve.
One point in particular appeals to me
rhout these hidden agents. Many of
the. secret signallers whom Gehlen has
installed with
high speed trans. special.

share a common characteristic. They all
suffer from some grave physical . disability.
Why has Gchlen chosen to bc served by
an arrr.y of cripples 7 Because he expects
that 'cripples , will no be . called up. for
military service, and so can be relied on to
remain in the area to which Gehlen has
assignedthem.

This business of information-getting

through agents forms only a comparatively
small portion of the duties of the Gehlen
organisation: Interception of radio
tnessages and cypher breakingfor which
he has the latest, and most up-to-date
electronic computer equipmentand the

the most valuable part of all thc work done

1. On 24 6-epteruber 1961, beginning at 1720 hours, the DC!,

in a meeting held at his hem*, met with General Oehler:. The meetieg
bad been requested by General Gehlen, who made a special trip to the
United States for the purpoao, !apparently at the instruction of Chancellor

Adetatuer. The meeting may be summarized as follows:.

a. According to General Gehlea, he bad not actually seen

the Claancedlor pereeisally. but was given instructions for the present

U.S. trip by Dr. Glebke, wile was tranamitting the Chancellor's views -

and desire.. The Chantellcr had been concerned over remarks reportedly
recently made by Mr. islcCloy in talks} with certain Gerrnan industrialists,
eepecially Dr. Fritz Berg. In ezvence, the McCloy remarks, as re/eyed
to General Geblen, urged that Weet Germany should itself take the
initiative in opining %Li, dealings with the Germaz enocratic Republic
(GDR) on-variotte matters including the Oder-lids-so line. Reportedly,
Mr. McCloy stated that the Presideut was of the eamo opinion. Apparently,
General .Gehlen had been'commissioned to find -out whether it was true

that the U.S. Government wished West Germany to take the initiative
Ite 'awn with the GDR.. For Ms part, the Chancellor, according to

delden, felt that this Initiative would mean giving Kitrue-hchev what be

MEMORANDUM FOR: C /Cl/Rick

SUBJECT:

Sefton Delmer t s Articles on Gehlen in the

Sunday Telegraph

1. These two articles are .subtly and maliciously slanted,

either as a result of British distaste for German militarists or
a more sinister intent to serve Communist ends. Here are a
few examples:
a. Delmer says that at the end of the war Gehlen was
"in. command of all anti-Soviet operations". He wasn't. He was
in c.ommand of German military intelligence against the USSR.
Then as now, he was mainly concerned with 'CB.
b. "For his own work had shown him that OSS had not
even begun to function in the Soviet Union" (by the end of the war).
True, it had not. But there is a nasty implication here that
Gehlen had been busily at work against the OSS and had. been so
successful that he knew what it was doing and what it wasn't.
c. "For most of that first conversation Gehlen was
examining eneraf.? Patterson, not Patterson Gehlen." Here
Delmer is describing Gehlen i s first postwar contact with 1.f. S.
intelligence. How does he know? He wasn't there. The
Invention is in line with Delmer t s consistent attempt to ahow
Gehlen as very clever and very, sinister.
d. "And it was in Washington that Gehlen made his allimportant deal - the deal which was the dream of lithamler and
Schellenb erg, the deal which enabled him to revive a section of
Hitler's General Sta_ff and lay the foundation of German rearmament
at a time when such rearmament was still anathema,.,." This
is distorted and vicious. Gehlen laid the foundation for pOstwar
German intelligence, not the Gene.ral Staff or armaments.

e. "For not only was he able to turn his unit into a shadow
of German Ge'neral Staff but more important still he was now in a
position to supply the Americans with the kind of intelligence which
would make them feel that it was essential to recreate the German
Army to help in the defence of Europe against the Russians." The
sane twist is evident here. Some of Gehlen t s key people were and
are officers; others were not. The model on which the organization
was fashioned was, naturally, the FHO (Fremde Heere Ost) of the
OKW, not the General Staff itself. And Gehlen i s product was not
diabolically altered to pit us against the Soviets or to lay the
gromndwork for the remilitarization of Germany. Here and elsewhere, Delmer portrays the Americans as the naive dupes of the
subtle, scheming Gehlen.
f. Delmer also charges that Gehlen l s organization recruited
many former SD and Gestapo members. This is an old Communist
canard. Most of Gehlen i s people were straight G-2 types, a few were
Abwehr, but very few were SD or Gestapo, precisely because Gehlen
knew he could not afford them politically - and also because these
types were looked upon with distaste by the professional officer class.
g. The second article starts, "Berlin remains the main
battlefield in the war between. the two rival gangs of Hitler i s former
Secret Service men." The main lie here is_the assumption of
morrd - or. immoral - equality between East and West. This lie
is basic to Communist propaganda. Another lie is the "Hitler's
Secret Service men." - i.e., SD and Gesta .po, as noted above. As
a matter of fact, some of Gehlen I s key people were part of the
military plot against Hitler.
2. The two articles are, in effect, mischievous. Their net
effect is to render a service to the East, not the West.

recently wrote to the PBX in New York City, stating that he
had a-friend in the Russian EMbassy, Wathington, D.C. .

SUBJECT: Biographic Sketch. of General Reinhard

GEITTRIT-.

1. General GEHLEN is the President of the West German Federal

Intelligence Service. He has held this position since 31 March 1956
when the predecessor organization became legalized. During the .
postwar period and prior to that time General GEHLEN headed the" private
'intelligence organization which bore his name'before becoming the
present West German Federal Intelligence Service.
2. General GEHIEN was born 3 April 1902 in Erfurt and was educated
in Breslau. - He entered the military service in 1920 and was commissioned
in 1923. His first service was in the horsc.cavalry. In 1935 he attended
the War Academy and subsequently became a,General Staff Corps officer.
He was a battery commander at the outbreak of World War II and was almost
immediately promoted to the rank of Major. .He filled a number of staff
assignments coming in close contact with Generals HALDER and HEUSINGER.
By 1942, he was placed. in command of Fremde Herre Ost which was roughly
the German equivalent of American C-2 intelligence operation on the
GermanTast front. He was a colonel at this tine and was soon promoted
to Generalmajor. His unit had both an operational and an analysis
function regarding Soviet Army order of battle on the East front. He
aroused the ire of Hitler as early as 1943 when during the course of
an order of battle, briefing for Hitler it was implied the 'German Army .
was facing defeat. Nevertheless his organization' continued to fUnction
effectively during the remainder of the war under General Staff Corps
protection at the time When the Abmehr disintegrated. -By the time the
general military situation began to disintegratev. GEHtFo made plans' with
several of his genii= officers to withdraw with the files for. the purpose
of Cachiagthem in Bavari.a.. Basic plans were also laid for recontacting
key persOnnel after the inevitable surrender in event OL continuation of
their work were possibla.

3. In May 1945 ari from a hideout in Bavaria, General GEHLEN

surrendered to the United States Army. During the course of hiainterro:gation he chose to reveal 'h5 ideas and plans 'for a continuation of his
wotk. He and,. certain of his coworkers were sent to Camp Richay for a
more detailed interrogation and a decision was made at the 0-2 level to .
return General GEHLEN to Germany and allow him to. rebuild' his organization
under G-2 responsibility. His organization was first located in Oberursel
and later in Pullach. In l91.8, CIA was requested to 'look into the
GEHLEN Organization with a view to making a decision to take it over. By
1949, the decision was made and Pullach Operations Base was created . to
conduct liaison with the German organization and. assist them as necessary.
GEELEN morked during this period to preserve the integrity of his organization
froth American control so that it would be . Politicplly acceptable to Berm at
the prerer time. The essential American position VW that of holding the.

Proposed Visit of General Reinhard Gehlen,

President of tho BD

1. This memorandum contains two recoMeendations in

paragraphs 10 and.11_whieh rsquire approval by the DO/P.
2. General Gables has ;tailed the United States on
near oecasioes at the invitation of CIA. nis lawt official
visit took place in April 1901. Sine.then the retirment
of Yr. Allen W. Dulles eta the Pelf* case have occmrred
and'it.ie our belief that these events have Led Gemeral
.
Gehlin toisnspect that- the previous close relationship
with CIA may beve changed to some degree. 'General Gehlen
./elt be had a particular personal relationship with Rr.
Dulles which alloeed hin to .address himself to Mr. Danes
through a privileged channel when he felt the need for Mr.
Duileee veumsel and advice. This chann41 was often used
.by Chanceller Adenader as well and created elsensei of.parUvular trust and confidence. Hr. Dulles ' retirement and
the arrant of Felbacecurred almost simUltae!auely. Concosmitantvith the revelations of the depth of compromise
cadled-.by therelfe ease s cut-back in our personnel la
direct liaieen with the in iS Rimiest took place. This
reduction had been previouely planned =Alms not connected
With the Zolte one*. All of theaw events together seem to
have created 'the iMpreesion in the -mind of General Gehlen
and some of his copal= Staff nenbers that a fundamental
.change in CIA. a attitude toward the UNDhad oecurred and
that the BID and its intelligence product are. no longer as
significant for CIA as in previous periodt..

3: There do'exiet problems in regard to the internal

security of the OND.and to the quality of DerD's product bet
in ear view CIA
tiie obeerving appropriate security
restrictions continue its. liaison relationshi p with the
intelligence service of the 'Federal Repeblie and should if

we have continued to enjoy generally even after the legalization of the Drganization Gehlen in February 1956 and which
provides a window to the Federal German Government and its
activities as well as a channel for exorcising influence.
4. We therefore feel that an invitation to General
Gehion to visit the United States in the late spring or
early fall of 1963 is in the interest of CIA and our liaison
objectives. Such a visit with its customary and unchanged
VIP treatment and the opportunity to meet with the DCI and
DDCI and other senior. CIA officers should go a long way to
reassure General Gehlen that CIA's basis attitude toward
him and his organization as such have not changed although
we would leave no doubt as to the pressing need for the
continuation of the vigorous pursuit of tightening BND personnel security. General Gehlen has mot the DCI on one
previous occasion in Frankfurt/Ulu in the company of Mr.
Dulles in November 1961, but he has never net the DDCI.

5. The subatantive agenda would include briefings

for General.Gehlan on topics proposed by him, the German
Station and BeadquarterS. We would be particularly interested in exploring with him ways and means by Whlch the HWD.
could increase its contribution of military intelligence
on the Warsaw Pact Forces. We would further want to discuss with him aspects of our computerprogram and the
exchange in machine language of non-sensitive counterintelligence information held by his service and CIA.
Such an exchange requires compatible systems. rt is
believed General Gehlen would be receptive to sueN a proposal, which would be further pursued by the German Station. We aloe propose to make arrangements -to show General
Gehlen Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg Air Force Base. During
his last visit in April 1.461 General Gehlen . visited SAC
Headquarters in Cmaha -which resulted in u much better appreciation by General Gehlen of United States military preparedness and capabilities.. We therefore believe that visits
te. Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg Air Force BASCO would Update General Gehlen's views'on United States military capabilities.
6. Biographic data on General Gehlen is contained
in Attachment A.

7. It is our intention when extending the invite..

tiou to General Gehlen to state that we would also wel1 at the same axe.
come a visit by General T1

General C
in the aCild-Nal position comparable to the DOI in
our organization. General r _
.1.1has always been
particularly interested in V Close exchange of views
between his and our organizations and a continued discussion of problems of mutual interest. Under his leadership the evaluations section of the END has become considerably sore flexible in its analysis and evaluation
'of the intelligence product of the END. General L
.. s close connections to policy levels in the German Foreign Office and his pro-American attitude make
him quite useful as a window into Gorman thinking and a
receptive partner to accept and puss on American views
on speeific situations.

9. It is coneeivable that General Gehlen would

desire to bring with him one other officer fron his staff.
The identity of such a person could only be determined
after the invitation to General Gehlea is issued.
10. If the OD/P concur*, WEE would like to extend
the invitation pereenal4 to General Gehlen on tNe
occasion of his TDY to Germany in March. Permission to
do so is hereby requested. It is felt that late May or
early June would be the most appropriate time for the
visit to take place. It is anticipated the visit would
be of two weeks duration and would include a full five
day work week to allow time for substantive briefings
and discussions. The remaining Week would be spent in
travel to Florida and California.
11. The bagic ceet of the visit will be financed
from Project gigpmgy; funds contained in sub project
[U4DRAC0. However, authority is requested to expend up
to $1500.00 from Beadquarters 00A funds to cover representational costs while General Gehlen is our guest in
Washington.

 12. It i.e planned that c

:/ would
serve as CIA.escort officer during the_course of tke
visit. Both Generals Gehlen *MC

travel in mufti. They shun publidity -and their previous travels to the United States hays not created

HE HAD KNOWN HIM LONG AND WELL AND REGARDED HIM AS A STOUT AND
HONEST FELLOW. ,URTHRUSTRESPONDED, SURPRISINGLY, BY ASKING
IF ANYBODY INVOLVED IN THIS BUSINESS COULD BE REALLY.HONEST.
ASCHAM ASKED IF -UPTHRUST DID NOT REGARD HIM /ASCHAM/ AS AN

NA /1 WAR CR IMES DI SCLOSU RE AC1

IS July 1963

SUBJECT: Ambassador McGhee's Request for CIA's Current

Evaluation of General Gehlre
1. On 12 July 1963 Ambassador McGhee informed c
.1 the acting chief of the CIA . fiasu in Bonn, that
(a) tha Chancellor told the Ambaesador on II July that in
the Chancellor's opinion Genera/ *Gelalen is and always hair been stupid;
(b) that it was only because of Mr. Allen W. Dulles' pereonal
Interest in General Gehlen that the Chancellor has put up with General
aehlr,a all these years. The Fella cane again attests to General Gehlon's
stupidity and incompetence.
(c) The Ambassador expressed as his own opinion that
perhaps the CIA does have a. vested historical interest in Genera/ Gehlen
and that perhape General Gehlen has outlived his usefulness. The
Ambassador wanted to know CIA's current evaluation of General Gehlen
and rectseirted this information soonest and general handling of this matter
In a most careful manner.
Z. CIA Headquarters replied on 12 July 1963 as follows:
(a) CIA understand' Chancellor irritation re Fella cas e' as
result reported widespread press attack on management of END try General
CP1E? 1

Gehlen. This is the latest incident in twelve months period of !Entr.el;:-7.-N1zr.,!i:

IA:

EST NM COP

increasingly cool relationchip between Chancellor and General Gehleu.

This was accelerated by BND involvement in Spiegel Affair.
(b) In our view General Gehlen has compiled good record
in many areas in re-establishing German Intelligence Service. Like
other elements German government he is faced by very serious security
problems which stem primarily from division of Germany and great
number Germans who were in Soviet hands for extended period. General
Gehlen has until the Fella arrest relied greatly on '`words of honor of
former associates and sub-ordinates" instead of depending on thorough
security background investigations. This has changed since the Felfe
arrest. It must be noted, however, that other Federal Republic elements
have had similarly serious cases of hostile penetration as discussed in
NATO Secret Working Paper AC/35 - WP/19 dated 31 July 196i.
(c) From its inception in 1946 until its transfer to
Federal Republic control as the official German service. General Golden
was the man in charge and we do not recall that the. Chancellor ever:equestioned General Gehlen's fitness as head of service. Also, decision
by Chancellor that General Gehlen's organization would one day become
official service was made by Adenanor before Allen V. Dulles became
Chief, CLA.
(d) However, question whether General Gehlen to remain
as head of service is one exclusively for Federal Republic decision.. No
United States official should become involved in this controversy. Any

intervention on our part would inevitably become known and could

prove embarrassIng.
(e) We asked C.

to determine whether the

Ambassador expected to discuss this matter again with the Chancellor

and stated that the above comments may be used in such further
discussion at the Ambassador's discretion.
3. On 15 July 1963 .0

r.
.3 . reported that he had passed the

CIA Headquarters comments to the Ambassador that morning but

expressed his apprehension that the CIA Headquarters comments had
not wholly satisfied the Ambassador who pressed hard for direct answers
which the Ambassador proposes to use in further discussions of this
matter With the Chancellor. The following points were made by the
Ambassador:
(a) The Chancellor said that both Mr. Allen W. Dulles
and Mr. John McCone had assured him of Gem ral Gehlen's professional
competence and abilities in clandestine intelligence fields. The Ambassador
asked what is CIA's current evaluation of General Gehlen.
(b) Since the BND is CIA's creation CIA cannot escape
its responsibility in the BND security failuxes..
(c)Any

investigation of the

END will reveal CIA's

past

role.
(d) The Ambassador Ls convinced that the

.2.4(0. case will

"reveal an Intelligence Disaster" and no amount of "double talk" can

Batt VA!I 011

al

3.*

hide the it of CIA's responsibiiity for crew:lazing, aupporting and

guiding the early activities of the SD. The Ambassador feels that
this will be eventually most embarrassing to the United States and be
is reporting him opinion to the Department.

l. We will summarize below some remarks by r:. Gen. Josef SEL:-1A17.

a Chief of the .E.SEW, on the occasion of a routine luncheon on
13 July 1963. Some of his remarks are not particularly new, but we feel they
may be of interest coming from him at this time.
2.. In discussing the U jnOWSY trial and the current reports concerning
UTILITY's early retirement SELKkYR expressed the opinion that the reports were
probably exaggerated and based pr i marily on journalistic speculation possibly
inspired in part by UTILITY 7 s pol 4 tical opponents. He pointed out that, on the
other hand, it is possible thatJPIF?UST will consider it necessary to find a
scapegoat in which case UTILI TY would be the logical choice. SEIMYR doubted,
however, that UPTHRUST has made a firm decision on the matter or that any
changes will be made in the near future.. He commented that UPHILL had suffered
heavily in prestige as a result of the UjDROWSY case and the Spiegel Affair, .
the cohseqUences of which w i ll continue to plague that service'for a long time.
3. SELYAIR commented favorab l y on the support which his service has
received 24 . om KU3ARK in the past, mentioning in particular C
and the
AELADLE leads, at the same t i me adding that he had never received such support
from - UPHILL and it is now ebundantly c l ear why he had not. He then embarked
upon a long tirade concerning the shortcomings of U T ILITY and UPHILL generally,
pointing out that the latter was-neve-- an organization but rather an
"unorganization". He stated that ..)art of the problem lay in the fact that
UTILITY was never an intel li genc.: officer, but rather a staff , officer with
experience as an intol l ienee uva:;..ator. He added that UTILITY lacked experience
in military command wh i ch ar,a .':;?.t have been useful -. has position as UPHILL
Chief. ,SELIAYR
ta _1 it v entire cx'stence,HILL has not achieved
a single profensional
any significancst, and now with the publicity accorded the U:MIOW.: .
e Tkr%u ,,;cuI-be sources i n the Soviet Bloc would be
insane to Work for UPHILL. SEI1 4!, vR acknowledged that while under (WOKE sponsorship 1).1- 4L. did some exce l lent work in OB co l lection and reporting, but he
stressed that this , 1,:as the type bf information which was easy to collect and.
evaluate, andl:PHT.LL by no means qualified for the major league by itn
competence
derformance in this area. r,oreove, according te
in military reporting suffered badly w i th legalization and the shift
, emphazis to political collection, a field in which their performance has been._
uniformly pathetic. SELY : stated that bj served for a time on the political
: . ;;valuation staff just bcf.orz leav'nc. UPH T LL and was appalled by what he saW.
:. Opinion
has never qualified as an intelligence officer
:7 never will.
practice was to recruits a number of woulA-he.
ura'alc to earn a living without the UPHILL salary.
.., in
.tted the UPHILL reports processing machinery with trash
n wn , A1
been totally unacceptable to their own newspapers, but for
OW-17-IN readily eompenzated them liberally. SELMAYR commented that,

hunarod-odd reporting political sources which OWIETERSTEIN at one time

claimed to have, not a single one could qualify as a genuine intelligence source.

4. It

opinion that UTILITY's concept of personnel security

ILts basically wren. Instead o: thorough and o painstaking background

! I investigations and assessments, UTILITY depended upon compartmentation, which

rI
1

1i theory was rigid but in practice lax, and on the ridiculous practice of
in cover names within the orEainization which fostered the idea that the
individual staffer should knoW a minimum about his colleagues and should not
concern himself with their Affairs, personal or otherwise. It was precisely'
' this practice which, in the opinion of

commented that

Washington assignment may 'be affected. He acknowledged that WESSEL is the only

1. The meeting with Mr. Hughes was at my request to brief

him on the content of :(.. )NN 5026 as follow up to the meeting with
Chief, EE on 15 July 1963.
2. At the end of the report of the substance of the
cable
Mr. Hughes asked why we thought that the Chancellor would not
force Gehlen's resignation since it appeared to Mr. Hughes that this
could be done with somewhat greater ease in view of the "adopted
status of the child". I replied that we had only C-conclusion which was shared by the Ambassador : Mr. 1-12;,:he g asked
whether we thought that the meeting of 17 August with the ChancPllor
closed the Gehlen matter as far as Embassy involvement is concerned
and whether the meeting of 17 August was handled to our satisfaction.
In reply to the part of the question, I replied that we hoped and thought
so since they Chancellor has by now departed for Caddenabia a-nd would
return to Bonn only about two weeks before the change of the government and that there are a number of more-important issues than
Gehlen at the moment. In regards to the second part of the question,
I stated that we would have preferred if there had been no meeting,
but since tlw ChancPl l o- had again taken the initiative and it had not
been possible to refuse to discuss the matter we are satisfied that the
subject had been handled most satisfactorily.

3. The final two points raised by Mr, Hughes concerned
Defense iviinistei von liasseVs position vis-a-vis the BND and the
reerriergence of former Defense Minister Straus. I replied that
we had no:reading at this time on von Hassel's attitude toward
Gehlen .and the BND. In regards tc Strauss I stated that in my
view Strauss is simply pushing his return to a position of policy
influence. Being the man he is, he is little if at all bothered by
criticism of his previous and current actions and activities, and
feels that he knows better than anybody else what is good for
Germany.
4. At the end of the meeting Mr. Hughes requested to be
kept informed of any further developments regarding the BND,
particularly those with political overtones and possible consequences for the Embassy. He also stated that he would inform
Mr. Richard Davis of the substance of our discussion and he
thought that no further action in the Department was necessary.

i. WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE AVAILABLE TO US CONCERNING THEBACKGROUND OF 'UP THRUST'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS UTILITY AS REPORTED BY BONN.
HAS TALKED TO UPTHRUST ON THE MATTER
THE POSSIBILITY 1HATC.
IS A LIKELY ONE BUT I WOULD BE MORE INCLINED TO THINK THAT )UPTHRUST
HAS ARRIVED AT HIS OWN CONCLUSIONS WITHOUT ANY PUSH FROM OTHERS.
HE HAS HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO SIZE UP UTILITY DURING THE YEARS
SINCE. LEGALIZATION OF UPHILL.
_2. AS ALIAS HARTWIG : PUT IT, EVERYONE WHO HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST
UPHILL OR UlILIIi HAS HAD A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY IN THEN.jOROWSY
LASE 10 SET HIS SIGHTS HIGHER AND BANG AWAY.'

3. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE ATTITUDE OF E

TOWARD UPHILL. I BELIEVE HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
DURING HiS VISITS TO UPHILL BUT WE HAVE NO HARD INFORMATION'ON HIS
VIEWS. IN SOUNDING OUT HARTWIG I COULD ONLY GET THE REACTION THAT
L 3 IS FIRST AND FOREMOST A POLITICIAN. ALTHOUGH WE KEEP PICKING
UP RUMORS ABOUT THE MI-19RUSH MILITARY SERVICES WANTING TO GET INTO
THE . cLANDESTINE COLLECTION FIELD, NO ONE IN UPHILL SEEMS TO PAY
THESE RUMORS MUCH HEED.. HARTWIG, FOR EXAMPLE, DOES NOT EXPECT C
TO SUPPORT ANY SUCH MILITARY DESiRES.
4. WE HERE IN MUNICH ARE ALSO INTENSELY INTERESTED IN THE
STATUS OF UTILITY AND SHALL KEEP OUR EARS BSEN. WE DO NOT EXPECT TO
LEARN MUCH UNLESS IT COMES FROM THE VERY TOP LEVELS OF-.CIPHItL,

September 20, 1963

Dear General Gehlen:

I should like to express my personal appreciation for the
Line efforts of your ELINT staff in the conduct of the schnellboat operation off the Baltic GOast. Although the third_
generation of the Soviet surface-to-air missile system (SA-3)
has been in existence for some time, extensive ELINTscollection
programs had been unsuccessful in lintercepting this signal.
As a result of'BND and U._ S analysis of the unidentified signals
collected by the . schnellboat,.we have, at least for the moMent,
established the best candidate for the SA-3 associated fire
.control System; at a minimtun, it.is a new and unusual signal"'
of major interest.
This is another splendid example of the benefits to be
derived from our continued liaison with respect to ELTNT matters.
Very truly yours,

C.-
