Description

In his memoirs, based on archives that he hid in the mountains of Bavaria in 1944 just before going into hiding with his staff, General Gehlen recounts the “true facts, in all their details”.

The authenticity of this text is its hallmark. In these memoirs, General Gehlen shares details on how a well-run secret service functions. Along the way, he manages to dismiss the claim that Elyesa Bazna (code named ‘Cicero’) received his payment in counterfeit currency; he asserts that Hitler never seriously intended to invade Britain; he states that Germany received Churchill’s secret memorandum from MI6 in London and outlines why he concluded that Martin Bormann was a Communist spy.

gehlen thinkingAn authoritative voice presenting sensational revelations from within an exceptional secret service, General Gehlen’s Memoirs truly provide a unique perspective.

This book is more than a memoir, it is a significant piece of history that sheds light on crucial events. These are the words of the man behind the Gehlen Organization – the semi-autonomous, American-financed intelligence service whose knowledge of Russian affairs and influence on Western policy became a byword in informed circles throughout the world.

 

The communists so feared and hated it that they made it a prime target for defamation and disruption and put a price of a million Deutschmarks on its leader’s head.

gehlen with fho officersIn 1956 the Gehlen Organization was transferred to the German Federal Government. Until his retirement at the end of 1968, General Gehlen was in supreme command of the German secret service. It is against this background that his story must be judged.

For various reasons, he felt unable to include much highly important material in the version of his memoirs as published in Germany. Here, for the first time, is the full and fascinating story.

    This was an excellent memoir from a man little known but very influential.

    The first chapters about his time serving the 3 reich gives great insight into how The groups within worked together and against each other.

    My real favourite was the end chapters were he analyzed communist influence and future policies in the world. Many of who we can see today as globalism emerges!

    A worthy read indeed!
