Inexact points
There are several inexact points in the article on Walter Schellenberg: His family did move to Luxemburg in May 1923 but not because of the French occupation of the Saarland after World War 1 but because of the economical crisis in the Weimar Republic. The Versailles Treaty forced Germany to limit its armed forces to 100,000, forbade it having an airforce, demilitarized the Rhineland, a region in western Germany next to France, and placed the Saar region under the League of Nations' control. The economically valuable regions of the Saarland and the Rhineland were placed under the authority (but not jurisdiction) of France: occupation is not the right word and it was done in 1918 much beofre Wlater Schellenberg's family moved to Luxemburg.
Walter Schellenberg was never arreested: he was a guest at the house of Count Folke Bernadotte (of the Swedish Red Cross) in Stockholm from April 1945 to June 17 1945. There he wrote the Trosan document , the basis for his Memoirs, and negoiated whith Colonel Rayens of the US Army to help the Allied forces as a witness. He freely flew on June 17 1945 to Frankfurt am Main and was then transferred in London where he would be interrogated AS WITNESS in camp 020. He was sentenced to 6 years emprisonment starting June 17 1945 (when he had not been arrested) "ïn absentia" owing to very serious health problems on Gall Bladder and liver hepatit. He spent the short period before being liberated in Hospitals but never went to jail. He was sheltered in Switzerland at the request of the head of Swiss Secret Services Col Masson, with Dr Francis Lang in Romont Billens where he wrote his memoirs with the help of a young German journalist by the name of Harpprecht. He died at Clinica Fornaca in Torino as Pfr Dogliotti was making a bypass for an obstruction of the bowel.
Contrary to the statement of the article Schellenberg was well aware of the Doublecross system of German agents captured in England and was himself playing the same game under the name of Funkelspiel. He got protection from the Allies for he had evidence that Edward Windsor and Wallis Simpson were acting German spies, a fact that the British crown went far to be able to hide. He also leaned late in the war from his spy "the Druid" of the deciphering of Enigma machines by Bletchley park which he avoided with special radio transmitters compacting radio messages and sending them in a split of a second. He also succeeded tapping the line between England and the US (decoding some conversations betweeen Churchill and Roosevelt) obtained the true plan for D-Day invasion of France fron Cicero a spy in Turkey (but fortunately Hitler doubted it owing to British clever decptions). He also decoded all the transmission of the American Embassy in Bern where Allen Dulles and the American Secret Service were based. Schellenberg was an exceptional spy master who organized a systematic factual double checking of the information received in Germany. His verification system allowed him to gain information by the Russian or Western Allies who suppplied true information for their deception to be credible. Walter Schellenberg was a master at using his opponent's strength. The British crown didn't want ot have a traitor in their rank and the Allies needed to keep secrecy on the decipering of Enigma machines used by the Japanese yet o be defeated. Contrary to what is stated in the article about Schellenberg his Memoirs are not boasting anything, they put on stage a man who failed everywhere in fantastic spy stories. Actually if his Memoirs had been true he would never have become the youngest SS general, he would have been sent to the Eastern front. This false modesty and the emphasis on his Intelligence years allowed Schellenberg to hide his involvement in the mass-murder of Jewish people when he was in the Gestapo Amt IVE and in the structuration of the final solution despite unarguable documentation. Amt IVE of the Gestapo was in charge of fight against partisans and Himmler did write in his diary on December 18, 1941: “Judenfrage / als Partisanen auszurotten [Jewish Question / to be exterminated as partisans]

NARA, Records of the Office of Strategic Services, RG 226, Entry 125-A, Box 2, Folder “Schellenberg,” OSS, X-2, Stockholm, PTS-5, “Brigadenfuehrer Schellenberg, Amtcheff VI”, June 1945. This “autobiography” written during WS temporary stay in Troza near Stockholm under the protection of Count Folke Bernadotte, official of the International Red Cross, is sometimes known as the Troza Memoradum and was considered by the Allies as more chronologically and factually accurate than subsequent statements by WS under interrogation. The document apparently served for WS as an outline for his Memoirs. It is suspected to have been made for synchronizing Felix Kersten and WS testimony to cover one another.

Harrison about WS’s intelligence are just there to explain some inconsistent aspects in the Report. They echo the comparable British statements done for the same reason: driving a criminal to immunity.

________________________________________ Footnotes (1) It was in German salt mines in early April 1945, that U.S. Army forces began finding Nazi loot, ranging from gold bars to gold teeth to art works. (2) The Department of State on October 3, 1945, initiated consultation among the American republics concerning the collaboration of Argentina with enemy agents for espionage and other activities damaging to the war effort of the Allies. The results of the investigation, obtained from records of the U.S. Government, those of Germany and Italy, and from interrogations of Germany and Italian officials responsible for activities in and with respect to Argentina were set forth in a memorandum, Consultation Among the American Republics With Respect to the Argentine Situation, commonly known as the "Argentine Blue Book." For detailed records relating to the publication see the General Records of the Department of State (RG 59), under the heading "Records Relating to the 'Argentine Blue Book'."

Internet Sites
http://www.yadvashem.org.il/holocaust/chronology/3338Right.html The Yad Vashem site in Israel supplies very precious archives concerning the anti-semitic policy of Nazi Germany and about the progression towards the Holocaust as well as the Holocaust itself. Yad Vashem site succeeds remaining extremely factual and objective about such a horrifying subject so deeply imbedded in its community’s culture. WS’s covering his tracks on his involvement in the Holocaust was however (until now) largely successful. Maybe Yad Vashem is not the proper place, but our Jewish friends would honor themselves in more openly including other communities’ martyrdom, which represents almost one third of Hitler and Himmler’s mass-murders by the Einsatzgruppen the concentration and the extermination camps.
The Yale Avalon Project: www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/avalon.htm The Avalon project aims at supplying, among other historical events, all of the hearing and affidavits presented at the Nuremberg trial. Affidavit, being [Nurenberg] Document Number 3232-PS, Exhibit Number USA-435, by Walter Schellenberg. The full text of the Versailles treaty The British Blue Book The French Yellow Book are also available there with many other essential documents, speeches…
The Nizkor Project: www.nizkor.org/ This site covers Eichmann’s Jerusalem criminal court case. Lots of testimony and documents, which could not be presented at the massive serial trials of Nuremberg, were produced at Jerusalem. Some historian claims that too much time had elapsed after the war and that it may have affected some testimonies. It is true that some witnesses at the Eichmann trial (Wisliceny, Becher…) needed to back up arguable testimonies of the Nurenberg period. But on the dignified side of the victims, it became clear that certain things cannot be forgotten and that, with the need for revenge -more than the trauma- having slightly cooled down, the relations of facts were more accurate. An exceptional prosecutor did more the work of an historian than the one of a prosecutor: it turned out to correspond to a more dignified justice and revealed Hausner as a superior human being.

Bower, Tom. Nazi Gold. Harper Perennial, New York - 1998. Tom Bower has written a number of books about the Nazi era and its aftermath, so this one can be considered an expert account of how Swiss bankers and bureaucrats behaved before and after World War II. The bottom line is that for the Swiss, profits came before Jews. During the war Swiss bankers routinely expropriated Jewish deposits, and accepted gold bullion looted by Germany from the treasuries of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, and Holland. Other neutral nations refused to accept the gold. Jews were even pushed back from the Swiss border to the waiting Gestapo. The history of Allied efforts to change Swiss banking behavior was marked by countless fine-print shenanigans and outright manipulations over many years. It was only in 1995 that Switzerland began to feel serious pressure, first from Edgar Bronfman of the World Jewish Congress, and then from Alfonse D'Amato, a Republican Senator from New York. Even as late as 1997, there was some intrigue. Night watchman Christoph Meili had to flee Switzerland in the wake of death threats and take up residence in the U.S., after he saw the film "Schindler's List" and decided to rescue Holocaust-era documents from the shredder room at Union Bank in Zurich. Finally in 1998, a $1.2 billion settlement was reached between Jewish groups, Holocaust survivors, and the Swiss banks.

Flowers, Stephen. Moynihan, Michael. Wiligut Karl Mari. The Secret King: Karl Maria Wiligut, Himmler's Lord of the Runes. Dominion, - 2001. Little concrete documentation has been uncovered on Himmler’s deep fantasies about “occult roots” with National Socialism. Of the materials that do exist, very little had been translated into English. This book contains the collected occult writings of Karl Maria Wiligut, the runic and shadowy self-proclaimed “Secret King” of Germany. His so-called works were originally published in the rare ariosophical journals Hag All All Hag and Hagal. Heinrich Himmler had commissioned Wiligut to write private reports on Runes, secret Germanic traditions, and prehistory. It was through this position of influence that Wiligut came to be called after his death “Himmler’s Rasputin.” Translated by Germanic history expert Dr. Stephen E. Flowers, the book contains: A full-length biographical introduction about Wiligut’s turbulent life and exploring his “magical worldview”; Translations of all Wiligut’s major writings; Wiligut’s mysterious invocations, the “Halgarita-Sayings”; Translations of private documents Wiligut submitted directly to the Reichsführer-SS, Heinrich Himmler; Essays on Wiligut’s cosmology and traditions by other ariosophists of the past and present; Himmler’s own report of an SS name-giving ritual, attended by the inner circle of SS leaders and presided over by Wiligut; An exclusive interview with Gabriele Winckler-Dechend, Wiligut’s closest colleague from his period of service in the SS.

The anglo-saxon wrath against anti-British activists is well hidden but is all over the book. WS was suspecting him to be a soviet spy because he had openly denounced the German invasion of Soviet Russia in 1941, and vehemently condemned the Japanese aggression in China.

It may have been written to utilize all the material he couldn't fit into the earlier effort; each chapter in "American Swastika" is fairly independent of the others. This book concerns noncorporate American connections to Nazis, as well as to their fifth columnists and sympathizers among the Romanians and White Russians.

Some of the individuals discussed include Klaus Barbie, William Bullitt, Charles Coughlin, Hamilton Fish, Allen Dulles, Reinhard Gehlen, Joseph Kennedy, Tyler Kent, Nicolae Malaxa, George Moseley, Walter Schellenberg, Otto Skorzeny, Viorel Trifa, Otto von Bolschwing, and Anastase Vonsiatsky.

Polmar, Norman & Allen, Thomas B. The Encyclopedia of Espionage Grammercy Books - 1997. Interesting and scarce information on Kurt Jahnke p 293, working for von Ribbentrop but did also act as an adviser for Schellenberg. There are also interesting accounts of operation Willi: the book claims that the Duke spied on France Maginot line for the account of the British when it is more probable that he used his rank to supply information through his wife Wally Simpson (a German spy) to Ribbentrop. A member of the German imperial family, father Odo, who became a benedictin munk in the US, revealed that Wallis Simpson had actually been Joachim Von Ribbentrop’s mistress. The Hohenzollern do know a lot about their Britannic cousins, of German origin. When, 1936, he was an Embassador in UK for the Third Reich, Von Ribbentrop won the heart (and seemingly more) of the future Duchess of Windsor. During his stay in England, he had 17 carnations sent daily to the charming Wallis, their number symbolizing the number of times they … had intercourse. An F.B.I. report dated September 13 1940 indicate that the Duchess of Windsor did keep in permanent contact with the one who had become the German minister of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich. As a matter of fact President Roosevelt had a close watch kept on the Windsor couple when they came to Florida for holydays in April 1941. Another report dated May 2nd 1941 mentions a testimony according to which prince Edouard would have concluded a pact with the nazis to recover his crown after Hitler’s victory. This certainly is one of the explanations for the refusal of the British to release their archives on the subject.
Pool, James. Hitler and His Secret Partners: contributions, loots and rewards , 1933-1945. Pocket Books, New York - 1997. Accounts on WS p.233-4. James Pool has studied Hitler for 25 years; his previous book, "Who Financed Hitler: The Secret Funding of Hitler's Rise to Power, 1919-1933," is considered something of a classic. Pool's work is refreshing because he starts with a broad socioeconomic perspective, and blends this in with sociopsychological and cultural observations. Frequently historians skip the infrastructural reasons behind Hitler's power, and opt for a specific angle instead of the broad picture. The entire phenomenon of Nazi Germany then becomes subsumed under some variation of The Madman Theory. Many top industrialists and financiers in Germany made huge returns on their investment in Hitler's agenda. The spoils of various invasions, as well as profits from slave labor and confiscation of Jewish properties, insured their enthusiastic support. Hitler himself was far from ascetic -- he lived in extravagant luxury, subsidized by blatant corruption. Good old greed, power, and desperation explain Nazi Germany better than ersatz theories about the German character. Examples: the desire for "lebensraum" was largely due to food production problems; Hitler invaded Austria because raw materials were needed to continue rearmament; and Russia was invaded because the German military machine was running out of oil. Pool never tries to excuse Germany, but he does offer a fresh look at the evidence.

The idea that British POWs be recruited to form an infantry SS unit was first put forward by the self styled fascist, John Amery, son of a minister in Churchill's war cabinet. In 1943 the SS expressed interest in the idea and created the Legion of St. George. Despite promises of an easy life of luxury, only about thirty prisoners responded. Lieutenant William Shearer was the only officer to volunteer but was soon diagnosed as a schizophrenic and repatriated to England on medical grounds. The unit included three Canadians, three South Africans, three Australians and one New Zealander. Many changed their minds and were returned to their POW camps. By March, 1943, only six remained as part of the 11 SS Panzergrenadier Division 'Nordland'. After the war, John Emery was tried for treason and received the death penalty. The remaining members received periods of imprisonment.

Simpson, Christopher. The splendid blond beast: money, law and genocide in the XXth century Grove Press, New York - 1993. Accounts on WS p.124 It's common to read biographies of men who waged war during the first half of the century, when issues were clear and warriors could be heroes. So when Christopher Simpson takes a look at Allen Dulles, for example, he discovers that helped a number of Nazis to escape, and worked for the greater glory of postwar Germany, which also meant a better bottom line for the German industrialists he represented before the war. While later claiming to be unwilling victims of the Nazis, these industrialists were happy to contract with the SS for forced labor from concentration camps, because it was profitable. They got off easy at Nuremberg; the Allies felt that rapid reconstruction would be a hedge against revolution in war-ravaged Europe. The larger point of this well-documented book is that complicity in genocide ranged far and wide, on both sides of the front in both wars. When it came time for accountability, international tribunals were stymied by the same machinations of privilege and power that started the problem in the first place. The structure of international law is weak, and easily overruled by elites who simply want to "get on with business."

Volkman, Ernest. Secret Agents Who Changed the Course of History. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York - 1994. spying is one of the most ambivalent professions in the world. In contrast, prostitution, which is the oldest profession, is more straightforward and there is no ambiguity about it whatsoever. As long as money changes hands, a prostitute is always appreciated for what she is, ie. a supplier of sexual pleasure. The status of a spy, on the other hand, is something a little more difficult to define. The same spy can be treated as a traitor and a hero at the same time. To the society he betrays, he is a traitor, who might have possibly led thousands of men to their deaths. To the society, which his intelligence helps, he is regarded as a hero, having possibly saved the lives of thousands of other men. Duplicity in the game of espionage exists on all levels, from double or triple lives down to double reputations. All this only serves to cast spying in an unsavory light. Ernst Volkman's book on spies is an introduction on how spying as a profession developed, it goes on to chronicle the lives and careers of some real life contemporary spies. Volkman classifies his chronicle according to the roles his gallery of spies plays. He neatly classifies all his spies into Moles, Defectors, Traitors, Spymasters etc.

In Heydrich’s staff
Reminder: Flattering the young WS’s anxiety for a lack of stable future as well as the urge to socially compensate for his difficulty in paying for his studies, Heydrich is carefully progressively training him in losing every morality: a mastery in destructuration. Medicine and legal concerns are washed out and substituted with tool for an exasperated ambition craving for satisfion at any moral cost. WS’s mother 10 comandments are replaced by only one: prepare everything way in advance never to get caught.

Gestapo Amt IV E:
WS infamous feat: conceptor of the Holocaust Reminder. Being rarely mentioned in relation to the Holocaust is not a sign that WS didn’t play an essential role in the mass murder of the Einsatzgruppen and in the Final Solution. WS was Heydrich’s idea man before becoming Himmler’s one: naturally periods overlap. Being the conceptor and subletting the dirty work to subaltern Gestapo monsters or Gauleiter does not, in any civilization, make an innocent: to the contrary. Apart from the evidence of his responsibility, his tracks were covered first by him and then by the British after the war and his past rewritten by his British/American investigators. Who can believe that he reached way higher in the SS hierarchy than Eichmann just with the failed spy stories and aborted negotiations, which are described in his Memoirs. Yet he ended up with a minor conviction for his participation in a criminal organization (the SD not even the Gestapo where he served for two essential years) and for his part in Ukrainian atrocities which could not be fully hidden: sentencing him to six years in 1949 was more than lax for a murderer in velvet gloves, who had done much more for the Holocaust than all of the ones who got hanged. Four years however had already been spent in “buiolding the case” in England and he would be freed for medical reasons after a year. Yet there must be some form of divine justice as he died from a liver illness in 1952.

"The Politics of Genocide" explains in a rational context the historical, political, communal, and socio-economic factors that contributed to the unfolding of this tragedy in both Jewish and world history. In the best tradition of political science, the Hungarian Holocaust is described and analyzed in the context of Hungarian and world history and international politics.

Browning, Christopher R. Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland. HarperCollins, New York -March 1992. On July 13, 1941, the 450 Men of the German Reserve Police Battalion 101 were driven to the Polish village of Jozefow. They were ordered to enter the village of 1,800 Jews, select several hundred young men for the work camp, and then kill the rest of the inhabitants. Over the course of 16 months, this battalion was responsible for the massacre of 39,000 Jews and the deportation to Treblinka of 44,000 more. In this "staggering and important book" (Chicago Tribune), Christopher R. Browning asks what kind of men would carry out such a gruesome task and finds that they were ordinary men: elderly, poorly educated, and drawn from the lower echelons of society. Given the chance to refuse orders, only a small number of them took the opportunity to walk away. A remarkable examination of human nature, Ordinary Men concludes with the most disturbing question of all: If the men of Reserve Police Battalion 101 could become killers under such circumstances, what group of men could not?

Near the monsters and their accomplices Reminder. They really were actual monsters... The few here who were only real soldiers were staunch Nazis, well aware of their masters’ goals. We may admire the personal bravoury or personal excellence in some of them (really few), we cannot forget nor forgive them. Obedience to order is no excuse. These men’s ambition and caracter turned them, as contemporary language would call it: to the dark side of the force. Apart from Hitler, they didn’t act by rage, they acted by an inextinguishable craving for power which no moral or religious or philosophical principle could stop. The list is clearly and admittedly incomplete but is centered on the ones WS was dealing with. This part of the bibliography is not concerned with the feats of German military strategists like von Mannstein who had no links with WS’s actual life: it only deals with monsters and offers some understanding of how this mad system was working and their absolute absence of relativity.

The inductive approach (collecting facts to substantiate an emotionally formed personal and abstract theory) rather than the deductive one (collecting facts to try and understand the essential forces which consistently bind them) is where the critics of the book gain ground. However David Irving has unearthed facts, which have to be historically considered by any honest analyst following the deductive approach. The book of the “revisionists’.

After schooldays friendship with Himmler's father at the Royal Bavarian Wilhelms gymnasium, Hanfstaengl’s student day friends at Harvard University were future outstanding figures like Walter Lippman, John Reed, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. After a few years at Harvard, Putzi (Hanfstaengl’s nickname) had established the family art business in New York; it was a delightful combination of business and pleasure, for as he says, “the famous names, who visited me were legion, Pierpont Morgan, Toscanini, Henry Ford, Caruso, Santos-Dumont, Charlie Chaplin, Paderewski, and a daughter of President Wilson”. Introduced to Hitler in the early l920s by Captain Truman-Smith, the U.S. Military Attaché in Berlin, Hanfstaengl became an ardent Hitler supporter, and occasionally financed the Nazis. Putzi felt honored to finance Mein Kamps’s publication, and the fact that Hitler found a functioning staff when he was released from jail after his attempted putsch was entirely due to his efforts. He would also finance the first Nazi daily press, the Volkische Beobachter. In brief, Putzi was an American citizen at the heart of the Hitler entourage from the early 1920s to the late 1930s. Nazi Stormtrooper marching songs were composed by Hanfstaengl, including the one that was played by the brown shirt columns as they marched through the Brandenburger Tor on the day Hitler took over power. Hitler came to power in March 1933, synchronically with Franklin Delano Roosevelt who wrote to his friend: “Think of your piano playing and try and use the soft pedal if things get too loud, … if things start getting awkward please get in touch with our ambassador at once”. By 1941 Putzi, out of favor with Hitler and the Nazis, fled Germany, but was interned in a Canadian prisoner of war camp In 1943, Hanfstaengl offered Cordell Hull to act as a political and psychological warfare adviser in the war against Germany. The offer to "work" for the American side was accepted, and Putzi was bailed out of the Canadian prisoner of war camp by his friend President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Putzi was installed in comfortable surroundings with his son, U.S. Army Sergeant Egon as a personal aide (who was brought back from France). In 1944, under pressure of a Republican threat to make a scandal on Roosevelt's favoritism for a former Nazi, Egon was shipped out to New Guinea and Putzi hustled off to England, where the British promptly interned him for the rest of the war.

Speer, Albert. Spandau: the secret diaries. Sterling Publications - November 1, 2000.
He served as Hitler's architect, the undisputed master of the German war machine, and the one responsible for conscripted foreign labor in the Third Reich. And, when Albert Speer was captured and sentenced at Nuremberg. After becoming the only defendant to plead guilty, he started keeping this secret diary, much of it on toilet paper. After 20 years of imprisonment, he found 25,000 of the smuggled pages waiting for him, and from those entries he shaped this document. Albert Speer's book is a moving document aiming at reminding that monsters are also humans. The book is of extraordinary political and psychological interest...a must for anyone interested in psychological motivation of political action and the problem of guilt and repentance. Some crimes and their perpetrators however are beyond human pardon: whether or not his repentance is sincere, he should have spent the rest of his life in isolation behind bars like Rudolf Hess.

Concentration camps were all located in open stone mines (Dachau, Buchenwald, Mauthausen…) for realizing Speer’s dreams implanted in Hitler’s mad visions.

Grimm, Hans. Volk Ohne Raum. Ungekürzte Ausgabe in Einem Band. Albert Langen, München. - 1927/8. (“People without Space”) The nazi sympathizer and anti-semite German writer Hans Grimm did not write only fairy tales. He also committed a book supporting Hess’s pervert anxieties about the German “Life space” (Lebensraum), expressed in Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”, which were essentially claiming an alleged moral right for Germany to use better the natural resources historically, but unfairly, inheritated by the Slavic communist Russians, a race of slaves under Jewish control.
Grimm, Hans. Warum-Woher-Aber Wohin? Klosterhaus, Lippoldsberg - 1954. Hans Grimm, a nazi sympathizer and anti-semite German writer who died in 1959, has not written only the tales who gained him fame. He wrote the best book aiming at justifying Hitler's ideas and program to date: Warum - Woher - Aber Wohin? (Why – From Where – But Where to?). It does fit in any detailed treatment of charges brought against nazis to understand the essence of his thought on Hitler, Germany, and Jewish people. Grimm delayed his work for a couple of years after Hitler's death until he was convinced, through sustained conceited contemplation, that he had arrived at a detached judgment of the deceased Fuehrer. First, he came to recognize in Hitler the man who had created the miracle of the truly German national community. The class conflicts of the feudal period, and the more modern ones exploited by Karl Marx, were, according to him, largely overcome by the Fuehrer. Grimm had met Hitler for the first time in 1928. He considered that Hitler had an abiding belief in the crucial importance of an Anglo-German agreement. Grimm maintained a light independency toward Hitler and his policy at all times. He voted "No" in the 1934 election to combine the German presidential and chancellor offices on the grounds that Hitler should not have so much power concentrated in his own hands. Grimm's mild suspicions on Hitler remained until the end of World War II. He, nevertheless, strongly criticized Stauffenberg's July 20, 1944 assassination attempt against Hitler in which the German officer had placed a bomb certain to kill other people. Grimm noted that Hitler and Goebbels, whom he also saw frequently after 1931, favored a separate state for the Jews. This indicated that their thinking on the Jewish question was not limited to the merely negative factor of ridding Germany of her Jews, but that it came along, for a short time, the lines of Zionists (Heydrich negotiated along these lines with Jewish emissaries from Palestine). Grimm himself concluded after World War II that the old Jewish nation, which had been landless for 2,000 years, was exploiting the confusion and uncertainty of younger modern nations in an attempt to dominate the world. The creation of a Zionist Jewish state would, according to him, be of no adequate service in averting this danger unless it was carried through on a comprehensive scale which would enable it to embrace most of the Jews of the world. No further comments…
Milgram, Stanley. Obedience to authority. Harper Colophon Books, New York - 1969 This book offers the only real deep psycho-sociological explanation for each and every form of Nazism. It tells what the other books in this bibliography are trying to teach (including this one). Probably the best book on explaining the Nazi phenomenal success in industrial society but also a seed for though for present time hstory. It has been read widely enough but its demonstration has not been, unfortunately, really heard by other than psycho-sociologists. It doesn’t present an acquired awareness in our industrial societies. WS was not a careerist, as often described by historians quoting one another, he was just a perfect by-product of what Milgram describes and explains without complacency. The study and thorough knowledge of this book should be made compulsory for any public servant, lobbyist or politician as well as any executive in large corporations, financial institutions, unions of any kind… This book raises many questions on human rights’ evolution along contemporary events: from mergers and acquisitions in large corporations to the forceful imposition of democracy or the progress in genetics and medicine. It tells what we should learn from studying the history around Nazism. National socialism didn’t die with the defeat of Hitler. It is represented, in modern society, not only by intellectually hampered neo-nazis: it is at work daily in the noblest occidental institutions. It advances day after day, law after law, “progress” after “progress”. Scary: may historian quote deep points in its analysis more often (rather than just the spectacular percentage of sadistic order takers). The beast is not the ruthless, murderous, bestial leader: it’s an organization valuating power over anything, which self generates monstrosity, fueling it with individual ambitions.

I must have missed something! Yet a very good biography by a very good historian on this mutant who got into a place where he made history.

The book is classified here since we know from Carl Marcus (Jahnke’s right arm) that this negotiation was effected under WS control eventhough he will try and hide it (in his classical way) by stating that Becher’s negotiations were complicating his own negotiation with Musy: he wanted to be kept as distant as possible from the Jewish problem at the tme when gas chamber were still operating.

This is probably one of the most complete sources on WS post-war alibi retroactively built partly by him with the careful complicity of the Allies.

Kahn David. Hitler's Spies/ German Military Intelligence in World War II, Macmillan, New York - 1978. Very well informed on Luftwaffe intelligence sources but weaker on other sources. Account s on WS (obviously despised by D. Kahn owing to his young age): p.6-26 offers a short resumé of WS’s life and states the lack of intelligence in the United States, which induced the narrated failure of spy implanting with Colepaugh and Gimpel. Both had been trained by Skorzeny, who, along Kaltenbrunner and WS’s orders, had created a commando school. P.61 In a development on Heydrich’s relationship with Canaris, Kahn mentions that Heydrich had in mind to put the German SS intelligence Amt VI under WS in replacement of Jost. P.92-3 underline WS’s old and deep concerns with economic intelligence and the relationship he established during the summer 1941 with Walter Funk, Reich economics minister. Kahn reports that he created an economic intelligence group Wi in his newly received Amt VI. p.96 the trade of intelligence between Spain, Italy, Hungary and Germany is demonstrated. p.100 underlines the difficulties between WS and the AO run by the ministry of foreign affairs. p.166 reports that WS was receiving the transcripts of the public radio transmissions from London (red), transmissions out of Russia (blue), out of USA (green), of Latin America, Spain and Portugal (yellow) of Italy (ivory) which, on Hitler’s order, were very selectively distributed (source of defeatism). p.172-3 shows how Schellenberg was receiving the transcript of Englo-American telephone conversations thanks to the German made replica of an ATT demangling device. Through that they intercepted many high allied officials Chruchill, Roosevelt, General Mark Clark, British Ambassador to the United States Lord Halifax, W. Averell Harriman on his way to Moscow where he had been appointed ambassador, Sir Anthony Eden talking to his new minister of State Richard Law in the US to discuss monetary problems, Harry Hopkins (Roosevelt’s advisor and link with Stalin) speaking with Churchill, and specially the discussions between Roosevelt and Churchill (Kahn is biased in downplaying the impact but the interceptions lasted for so long that it is impossible that all of them remained so innocent). p.178 –182 describe the creation and organization of the Forshungsamt which was tapping wireless coded communications in England, Italy, France…and decrypting them. Again biased by his prejudice against WS, DK expresses that Schapper (head of the Forshungsamt) delivered almost nothing. It is not even plausible that Schellenberg (then at the Gestapo) could not get the documents directly or indirectly.

Operation Willi and Rudof Hess’s flight Reminder. Are operation Willi and Rudolf Hess’s flight sincere negotiation attempts from the Nazis towards British more receptive ears or just a destabilization attempt. The division between are supplied for facility of use: there is in fact a strong interpenetration of facts, the a systematic separaration between the British Secret service and the Soviet one is relative. What part did the war work of Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, McLean… in convincing Churchill not to negotiate, abandoning Chamberlain’s political line of Hitler’s destabilization: any answer can only be the result of arguable analysis. The Royal family, of German long descent, went a long way to cover the tracks of the ones of their family members who had been Nazi sympathizers: Sir Anthony Blunt was sent on a special British post-war mission just for that (as he was still a secret Soviet agent and still a Lord). Finally negotiation attempts with the West by Germans could either be genuine or be Nazi destabilization attempts, but most of the times it started one way and ended up in another: and it happened both ways. Hence classification, the only scientific approach to any problem, only works in the cental zone of the class, the closer to the borders of the subject knowledge gets, the more is reveals its artificial essence: a good approach to knowledge doesn’t constitute knowledge. It just shows its limitations.
Allen, Martin. Hidden Agenda: How the Duke of Windsor Betrayed the Allies. Pan Macmillan, New York - 2000. The Nazi sympathies of the Duke of Windsor have long been common knowledge but, until now, few have suspected that his wartime activities amounted to treason. Hidden Agenda is the result of the author's research into the intriguing Charles Eugene Bedaux, a Frenchman suspected of spying for the Germans in the First World War, in whose house in France the Duke of Windsor married Wallis Simpson in 1937. Bedaux, through his connections with high-ranking Nazis, ensured that the Duke of Windsor found a sympathetic audience for his own fascist ambitions.

His theory is well documented but not convincing . Starting the relation of Operation Willi in 1940 proves that the author knows better than what his book admits but his theory would have failed had he started it before. The relationship between Ribbentrop and Wallis Simpson and the meaning of the seventeen carnations revealed in the FBI report could not have been ignored.

For decades, the British royal family had kept silent about the scandal that nearly destroyed their monarchy: the abdication of Edward VIII to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Now, for the first time, a member of the Royal family dares to tell the entire inside story. Prince Edward Windsor (the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth and grand nephew of Edward VIII) explores the romance that shocked the world> From their forbidden affair to their lavish life in exile, Edward on Edward probes the private life of the century's most celebrated couple and shares many startling revelations: Exclusive footage and family photos never before made public reveal the opulent private world of Edward and Wallis, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The Duke's personal papers, until now locked in the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle, detail the Royal family's bitterness toward him and their utter comtempt for Wallis. Diplomats and foreign agents speak publicly about Hitler's plan to return the Duke to the throne as a puppet king. The Windsor's closest friends and servants recall the Duke and Duchess's life of splendor; the breathtaking homes, the lavish parties, even their legendary shopping sprees. At last, the Royal family's silence is broken. Edward on Edward is as far an account of Britain's most devastating scandal as a Royal family member could admit, but is still far behind the truth.

BLACK ORCHESTRA
Reminder.
The division between Black Orchestra and Red Orchestra are supplied for facility of use: there are in fact a strong interpenetration namely through the Turkul-Katz network. Similarly owing the war work of Philby, Blunt, McLean…, the a systematic separaration between the British Secret service and the Soviet one is relative. Finally the Japanese commercial system of selling decrypted information to all the parties makes all these distinctions arguable. Finally negotiation attempts with the west by Germans could either be genuine or be a Nazi destabilization attempt, but most of the times it started one way and ended up in another: and it did both ways. Classification, the only scientific approach to any problem, only works in the cental zone of the class, the closer to the borders of the subject knowledge gets, the more is reveals its artificial essence: life is linear and things evolve, economy is international or global, and philosophical thinking is both relative and universal. It has always been and will always be.

Even for people in disagreement with Kilzer analytical consclusion (the author’s case) as to whether Bormann could have been the Russian spy “Werther”, this book is well documented, well written and supplies one of the best synthetic view of Hitler’s war in the east, its main battles, its turning points, and the strategies involved. His description of how spying and military feats interlock on the front, is one of the best. It doesn’t carry David Kahn or Trevor-Roper’s well-informed but too slanted views in favor of the British. Historians ought to report as well enemy military feats like the ones of von Manstein or the major impact on the war of exceptional Soviet geniuses like Jukov. Hitler would not have been such a threat to the history of civilization if historians of our victory were totally right and our deciphering of Enigma transcripts had solved everything. A divergence of analysis and its very clear and fluent style should not allow to declassify this book from historical records to consider Kilzer a novelist. Generating a deeper thinking over such major events is just what the study of history is about.

Read, Anthony. Fisher, David Operation Lucy: Most Secret Spy Ring of the Second World War Hodder and Stoughton, London - 1980. By 1980 the notion of a British link to LUCY would be further investigated by the two English TV writers, Anthony Read & David Fisher, with the publication of their book "Operation Lucy". Their angle was through one of Roessler's W/T operators - the English expatriate communist who had fought with the International Brigade in Spain, Alexander Foote. Unfortunately, the weak link in their argument was that both Foote and his supposed contact at MI6,Colonel (Sir) Claude Dansey, were both long dead by the time they concocted their hypothesis, and Read & Fisher had only circumstantial evidence with which to prove their assertion that Foote, through Dansey, fed LUCY, and thus Moscow, with selective ULTRA intercept information; thereby claiming that the main Soviet espionage network in Switzerland during the war was, for all intents and purposes, a mere puppet of Hut 3, Bletchley Park. (This of course does not explain the (ignored) dispatches from LUCY from as early as 1939 [well before ULTRA] fed gratuitously to the Western European powers concerning German offensive intentions - furtively passed on by Swiss Intelligence to the appropriate attache's at the Embassy level.) Possibly some form of British nationalistic conceit altered the journalists’ accuracy: there is no doubt that Ultra rendered incalculable services but it cannot explain every aspect of the secret war. According to West's deconstruction, Foote's less than savory treatment by MI5 in their post-war de-briefing of him, and their manipulation of his purported biography called "Handbook for Spies" (1949)*, belies any sort of MI6 allegiance or involvement with the hapless English Bolshevik, who would later die in relative ignominy in the late '50's. According to West, Bletchley insiders closely associated with Col. Dansey, refuted any connection with Foote and operations in Switzerland during the war. So, while Read & Fisher's hypothesis is never once confirmed- it stands, without confirmation, as unfounded speculation.
- (It was actually no more than a dimly-editorialized version of Foote's MI5 interrogation filled with easily refutable inaccuracies - one especially glaring that LUCY was actually a Czech named Selzinger!)

Ruland, Bernd. Die Augen Moskaus : Fernschreibzentrale der Wehrmacht in Berlin : zwei Mädchen gegen Hitler. Schweizer Verlagshaus, Zürich - 1973. In 1973 a former wartime Heer Communications Officer from within the OKW Zossen Complex (Zeppelin Camp) named Bernd Ruland published an account of his wartime activities entitled “Moscow's Eyes.” In this account Ruland claims that he caught three female "Helferinin" teletype operators working the “geheimschreiber” (secret writer) machines which sent top-secret orders to all Wehrmacht Headquarters, secreting carbon duplication tapes of OKW teleprinter messages. He challenged them, explaining later that he had been drawn into their conspiracy, and then became accomplice to their treason. In his memoirs he described two of these “Wehrmacht Nachrichten Helferinin” by name only as “Maria Kalussey” and “Angelika von Parchim.” Unfortunately for verifications sake, Bernd Ruland died soon after the publication of his memoirs, and his family had very little to amend to his story. Amazingly, when Ruland's book went into publication in a Hungarian edition, Alexander Rado himself wrote the Foreword, stating that, "it deserves more attention than the other books dealing with LUCY and the Soviet Intelligence ring in Switzerland for the following reasons: “the absolute reliability of the factual material presented, the accurate analysis of the events recorded, its anti-Fascist tone and the exciting nature of its contents.” Rado also went on to commend the book by saying that it “provides answers to those so far unsolved riddles of how, and by what route, Soviet Intelligence acquired such large amounts of information from the highest levels of the Communications center of the Fascist German High Command.”

Bradley beautifully put together rare information on the international intelligence trading of WWII. Based on information gleamed by both sides, the Allies were able to position troop movements and attacks. There might be too much emphasis on ULTRA and MAGIC: MI6 did do a fantastic work on the field and Admiral Canaris’ network supplied certainly more (and more detailed) information than the precious deciphering of German messages. In reverse, it is necessary to understand what synthetic work was done and how, as well as to what extent, it was communicated on all fronts.

This book details the devastating effect (to the Germans) of the soviet spy ring 'The Red Orchestra', whose many sources included a direct access to Hitler’s office. It tells the story of the beginnings, people, and fates of those involved. It tells of the massive info that was given to the 'Director' in Moscow, that the 'Ultra' intercepts the west was receiving was miniscule in comparison. For the first time some of the exact transmissions from the ring that the Soviet military were able utilize effectively. It clarifies in an easy manner the significance of codes the ring used, (“Werther” was not a person, but a 'cover code' signifying the message was army related. 'Cover code' Olga was info about the Luftwaffe). It also shows the breadth and depth of the 'underground' of people involved, Communist and non-Communist. (Rossler was a right-wing conservative). Drawn from sources recently made available from the ex-Soviet state, interviews with survivors, and established known data from the War, it puts to 'lie' Kilzer’s history book "Hitler's Traitor" pointing to Bormann as being the spy called ‘Wherther’.

The most spectacular one happened at Venlo when with Naujocks and Knochen he kidnapped the heads of the European spy networks. Later in his counter espionage activity at the Amt IV E of the Gestapo, a lot of counter-espionage inland looked very much like espionage outside of Germany owing to Hitler’s mania for moving of the frontiers. he kept from September 1939 to Jan 1943 (three years)much longere than his Amt VI post

A book with a lot of details on many things but never acknowledging enemy successes even when, like the Venlo incident, it had huge repercussions on its chief Menzies career and on its approach to the war is a good documentary source but it is, unfortunately, not the work of an enlightening historian on the subject. The book illustrates the lost opportunity to give us a synthetic view of the war under the MI6 angle.

The world is a full of surprises: if the CIA had not picked up this man to spy on the Russians, he would have been facing a war crimes trial. The book covers the World War 2 of General Gehlen, who was in charge of the Nazi's spying on the Russians for OKW and from 1944 RSHA. Gehlen then "converted" to the allied way of thinking after Hitler’s death. The U.S. and new German government gave him the job of head of the German version of the CIA, to continue battling the communists. Along the way Gehlen supplied shelter for many nazis mass-murderers, who should have been executed by the Allies at the end of the war (Klaus Barbie,…). A good part of the book does detail out some of the successes of the World War II counter-intelligence and intelligence gathering operations.

J.C. Masterman's "The Double-Cross System: The Incredible True Story of How Nazi Spies Were Turned into Double Agents" should be required reading for all counterintelligence and other human intelligence (HUMINT) personnel. Even after a 20+ year career as a human intelligence professional myself, this is one of the few "spy" books that I have. I consider this book a counterintelligence "how to" text book. To get the full impact of this book, I suggest first reading Ladaslas Farago's "Game of the Foxes", based on the files of Nazi Germany's intelligence service. After reading the German side of the story, the full impact of J.C. Masterman's book and this amazing intelligence operation will hit you right between they eyes.

Although discreet, it is one of the finest memoirs of its kind by a first-class intelligence officer." To Constantinides, the work is "one of the important memoirs of intelligence." The stories told by Moravec include that of agent A-54 (Paul Thümmel) and the acquisition of German plans for the invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland.

An interesting story which reads like a novel. An actual account or a novel? If a novel it is very well documented. In any case, it tempers the British contention that tey were the only ones to have turned radio operator. General Thiele and Schellenberg played their Funkenspiel as well. Didn’t they succeed taping the line between Churchill and Roosevelt… The book is a good lesson of modesty for any historian on any victor in any war

WS’s name is not mentioned once by Moysisch, who relates he reported alternatively to Ribbentrop’s office and to Kaltenbrunner’s office. We know however that WS, Moyzisch’s boss, did arrange to personally put Kaltenbrunenr in the front line to balance Ribbentrop’s weight, and, hence, avoid an additional confrontation with the Foreign Minister. There are however very interesting accounts on WS’s opinion since Moyzisch claims, that, putting together the December 1943 Cicero documents on the Moscow and Tehran conferences, he did understand very well the plan of the allies, found out what Overlord was and why Germany could not win the war. He also reports that one of the December Cicero deliveries allowed the deciphering of one of the very important English codes. At the level these codes were used by the British, for sure it was put to good use in Berlin at least for a while.

Budiansky Stephen. Battle of Wits: The Complete Story of Codebreaking in World War II. Free Press October, 2000 Stephen Budiansky, who knows both math and military history, has provided us with a well written new telling of the story of how the USA and UK cracked German and Japanese codes, and used this knowledge in winning World War II. This is the best treatment for a wide audience since David Kahn's The Codebreakers, and contains much new material from documents declassified in the last decade. Budiansky is particularly good at explaining how the cryptanalysts actually worked, with excellent diagrams. He also explains how the early data-processing machines they used functioned--at the dawn of the computer era. As for the war itself, he sticks to the high points, such as Midway and the Battle of the Atlantic, but the military history is accurate.

Hinsley F. H., Stripp Alan Codebreakers: The Inside Story of Bletchley Park Oxford University Press, Oxford (U.K.) - July, 2001 When the gag order was finally lifted circa 1970 on the Bletchley Park operations, a lot of scientific, historical, and technical histories appeared. And there was a great hue and cry among military and political historians that the whole history of the British and American war against Hitler’s Germany would have to be rewritten. Well, much of that has been proven to be just hyperbole but it is generally agreed that the war was shortened by about two years. But the closer the Allies got to Germany the less role Bletchley played for the German forces used landlines for most strategic communications from mid 1944 on. Also they had another machine known as FISH which was not as easily read as Enigma. This book is a collection of personal narratives of life at Bletchley and how tedious most of the work there was, no matter how essential. Harry Hinsley, one of the authors, was a "whiz kid" recruited directly from university and after the war became a professor without ever completing his studies. Over the years he has written the monumental multivolume official history of British intelligence operations in WW II and many historical papers. Alan Stripp, was one of the original operatives and served for many years.
Hodges, Andrew. Hofstadter, Douglas. Alan Turing: The Enigma of Intelligence. Simon and Schuster, New York - 1983. With loving care, Hodges follows Turing's life from the clumsy child whose largely absentee parents were caught up in maintaining the British imperial presence in India, to the mathematically precocious adolescent facing teachers for whom mathematics imparted a bad smell to a room, finally coming into his own at Cambridge University where he wrote the paper that provided the conceptual underpinnings of the all-purpose computers we all use today. Hodges carefully explains Turing's crucial contributions to breaking the secret codes that the German military used all through the Second World War, confident in the security provided by their "Enigma" machines. Turing's highly successful war-time practical work known only to a few, his efforts after the war to enable the construction of a general purpose electronic computer were frustrated by bureaucratic mismanagement and by a lack of appreciation of the value of his ideas, many of which came to birth much later. A burglary of his house that a prudent man would have kept to himself, led to Turing's homosexuality getting public when he reported the crime to the police. He was prosecuted for "gross indecency" and sentenced to a course of injections of estrogen intended to diminish his sex drive. We will never know how much this barbaric treatment contributed to his suicide or what he might have accomplished had his life not been cut short. This man should have been prized as a world national hero. Hughes-Wilson John. Military intelligence Blunders Carroll & Graf Publishers, New York - 1999. I'm not sure the title of this book is a very good description of what it addresses, though military intelligence activities (both in true intelligence work, but also quite a bit of counter-intelligence stuff) are discussed. Even if one read dozens of books discussing the conflicts covered here (five chapters of various aspects of World War II and then one each on Vietnam, '73 Arab-Israeli War, Falklands War, Gulf War) there is quite a bit of new material and insight here. In addition to intelligence work, he covers political, military, and diplomatic activities that have substantial impacts on the campaigns discussed. This book fills a real gap, in my estimation, in understanding much that is scarcely reported and seldom discussed about why wars and battles go the way they do. Overall a very good assessment of intel activities and the pol-mil considerations that go into why a particular campaign was successful or not (at least at the outset).
Jones R.V. Most secret war Hamish Hamilton, London - 1978. The author as a relatively young man was the technical intelligence director for the British Royal Air Force in WW II. As such he was involved in the development of active, passive, and counter measures to thwart the German Luftwaffe. Developments included radars, anti ship missiles, jet engines, defense against buzz bombs, and the jamming of radio navigation systems used by the Germans. After the war the author returned to Scotland to become a university professor. He returned to service during the Korean War period. His other book Reflections on Intelligence reveals him to be a man of erudition and covers and fills in some of the gaps in the story told herein which could not be revealed at the time this book was written.
Kahn David. The Codebreakers, Sphere Books, London - 1973. Account s on WS p.449, 450, 452
Kahn, David: Seizing the Enigma The race to break the German U-boats code, 1939-1943 . Arrow Books Ltd, London - 1991. In 1941, the Battle of Britain is intensifying. The Kriegsmarine submarines, organized in groups - wolf packs - were cutting the life-line the British defense depended on - the convoys which supply Britain with food, military supplies and raw materials. And the U-Bot got pretty much successful in it, sinking more ships each month than Britain and United States could build. Meanwhile, the group of mathematicians, linguists and other odd characters located a top-secret base in Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, was trying in frenzy to decode the German naval code, Enigma... David Kahn has produced a very well researched and clearly written book on this segment of naval history, which has long remained classified. The story of Enigma is traced from the Arthur Scherbius's design, through the first successful decoding made by Marian Rejewski's group in Poland, and finally to Alan Turing and the Hut 8 staff in Bletchley Park. We learn that while direct attack on the cipher was mindbogglingly impossible, the chances for decoding being 150 million million million to one, the Brits had to find bypasses, raiding German boats for the on-board code books, employing "kisses" (identical messages transmitted in two different cryptosystems), and finally mechanising the solution finding with the "bombes". The emphasis of the book is more on the naval war than on the cryptology. Although the operation of Enigma machine is described to some extent, you will not be able to fully understand its workings from it alone. Singh's Code Book, for instance, has a much better introduction to it. It also limits its scope quite narrowly, not spending one single word on the fact that while Hut 8 was busy solving naval Enigma, some hundred yards away the world's first electronic computer - Colossus - was built in attempt to solve the German Lorenz cipher. The book comes with an exhaustive list of notes, an excellent bibliography and a useful index.
Kozaczuk. W. Enigma. How the German Machine Cipher Was Broken, and How it Was Read by the Allies in World War Two. Arms and Armour Press. London, Melbourne, Cape Town - 1984. This book tells the story of the Polish breaking of the German Enigma code before WWII and thru the early part of the war. The famous English Enigma work was based on the earlier work performed by 3 Polish mathematicians. This book tells how the Polish broke the code using mathematics (not a captured machine as is commonly thought) and details the methods used to decrypt messages when settings were changed. There is a lot of (Polish) patriotic pride in this book, which occasionally gets in the way of the content, but it is an excellent book nonetheless. It includes an appendix in which the mathematician who originally broke Enigma explains exactly how he did it which is especially interesting.

Sebag-Montefiore, Hugh. Enigma: The Battle for the Code John Wiley & Sons, New York - 2000. It's remarkable that 60 years on, new information continues to surface about the breaking of the Enigma code. Having followed much of the "new material" released over the last 20 years, it is great to see other key players in the Enigma drama getting due credit. Forget about the attempts by Hollywood to credit the Americans with breaking the code, and find out in this book the huge contributions by the Poles (who were partly breaking Enigma in the early 1930's), the British and Canadian seaman (boarding subs and weather reporting trawlers to capture code books), and the French. The book is not for those seeking a deep understanding of the deciphering techniques used at Bletchley Park - this is covered in other excellent volumes (see Sarah Flannery's book "In code: A mathematical journey" for a soft introduction to cryptography ). It does give detailed and personal accounts of the risks taken by others in the armed forces and outside to secure code books, Enigma machine wheels and other "cribs" to help the code breakers. The sadest part is reading about the fate of the various Polish mathemeticians who pioneered the Enigma work throughout the 1930's, and who were mostly left to perish in tragic circumstances by the French and British, despite having been got out of Poland after the German invasion.

Welchman Gordon The Hut Six Story. McGraw-Hill, New York - 1982. The men and women of Bletchley Park, who repeatedly broke German military cyphers throughout the Second World War, made an important contribution to the allied success. This book, written by another one of the code-breakers provides a fascinating insight into the process. Despite the core subject, this is not really a book about cryptography, but about how to manage people and technology to solve complex, important problems. Welchman was the "glue" between the pure ideas men like Alan Turing, and the code-breaking production line. His talents were clearly in building the organization, and liaising between the different parties so that interception, decoding, understanding and using the intelligence became a repeatable success. Welchman's insights into British wartime society and bureaucracy are keen and frequently very humorous. Although he was very modest about it, it is clear that Welchman was by no mean a cryptologist himself. The book does attempt to explain several of the ways in which Enigma was cracked, but the primarily verbal explanations are difficult to follow. However, this doesn't prevent an understanding of the principals, and how different methods were applied at different points during the war. See Sarah Flannery's book "In code: A mathematical journey" for a soft introduction to cryptography The book does have some limitations. Because he was not personally involved, he explicitly refuses to discuss the effort focused on the German naval codes so important to the Battle of the Atlantic, and generally says little about the use of the intelligence information. Sadly, the current edition of the book omits much of Welchman's advice on the analysis of battlefield communications, and how to keep such communications secure. However, one observation has been retained - it was a fundamental mistake to believe Enigma was secure simply because of the enormous computing power required for a brute-force attack.
Winterbotham, Frederick William. The Ultra Secret. Weidenfeld & Nicholson, London - 1974. In 1976 "A Man Called Intrepid" was a best seller in the US. In 1977 Frederick William Winterbotham published "The Ultra Secret", about the decryption of the German Enigma systems. In 1978 "Room 3603" was reprinted. They all are important books about WW2, altho "Room 3603" starts in the 1930s and has important information about intelligence activities. This book tells about Winterbotham's involvment in solving the Enigma encryption system. A later book tells more of his personal history in the 1930s. Working for the Air Ministry, he travelled to Germany to sell aircraft parts, and met many high Nazi officials. He was such a good friend of Goering that he was the only foreigner allowed to fly his airplane thru the Third Reich! He was one of the top British Nazi sympathizers at the time, until 1937: he was summoned to the Berlin Foreign Office, and given 48 hours to leave the country, "or else". They finally discovered that Winterbotham really worked for Military Intelligence!
