JORDA, Francisco. From Roberts Commission Card Files on possible art looting suspects:

      Spanish. Address: Hotel Albert I^er, Place Rogier, Brussels; 77 rue Bosnie, St. Gilles, Brussels (wife). Reported to have left for Switzerland via Germany, 31 Aug 44

      Background: Born Ginesta, Tarragona, 20 Feb. 1903. Married to Renee BAUDELET, Belgian; one son, Francois. Arrived in Belgium from St. Etienne, 16 Mar. 1921 .Occupation professed: hairdresser

      Left for Switzerland via Germany, 31 Aug 44. Attached to Abt. VI. Falangiste and Germanophile.

From Roberts Commission reports, Art Project m-z. British memorandum dated 29 December 1944:

      Subject: Possible Connection between S.D. and Stolen Art Treasures:

      SWEERTS, the Sipo and S.D. character now in 020, as you will recall, made a trip to Spain in July-august 1944 with one CHERUY who is now imprisoned in Belgium as an S.D. collaborator. CHERUY was recently interrogated primarily to check SWEERTS’ version of the Spanish trip. Generally their stories coincided.

      However both SWEERTS and CHERUY knew one SOLA Francisco (or Pietro) who was given by SWEERTS as an agent of Abt. VI, Sipo and S.D. Other 020 characters of S.D. fame who informed on SOLA are COLLET and GARITTE. In the course of his interrogation CHERUY gives the following information on SOLA which may be of interest to those persons in our organization interested in stolen art treasures.

      «It was SWEERTS who introduced CHERUY to Pietro SOLA and Francisco JORDA. These two eminent figures of the racketeering world were described as buyers for the wine importing firm of WEIDEMANN in Antwerp. However, they were catholic in their business interests, and willing to engage in any transaction which offered a quick return. They were Spanish subjects and lived in the Hotel Albert Premier, place Rogier, Brussels. CHERUY is unaware of any connection they may have had with the SD. When CHERUY met them they were proposing a deal whereby SWEERTS would arrange for their wine to be brought across the Belgian frontier in German military lorries to avoid customs duty. He does not know whether SWEERTS was able to follow up this proposition. They were also interested in the commercial aspect of Old Masters, and once asked CHERUY to sell a Rambrandt for them. He saw them in the company of a German Doctor (name unknown) and of a well-known Belgian art expert. Sometime between May and July they went with the latter to Monaco with a collection of pictures. They sometimes asked him to sell French francs. On one occasion

     JORDA asked him to change a hundred thousand French francs at the Brussels Bourse. He saw them for the last time sitting in a car outside the Bourse some four or five days before the arrival of the Allies. They told him that they were off to Switzerland.»

From Roberts Commission reports, Art Project m-z. British memorandum dated 6 January 1945:

      Subject: Possible Connection between S.D. and Stolen Art Treasures

     Reference: Memorandum to V/48 this same subject, 29 December 1944

      An XB report of 3I December 1944 from Brussels gives additional confirmation that Pietro SOLA and Francisco JORDA, very possibly an S.D. team trafficing in famous paintings, may now be in Switzerland having arrived there from Belgium via Germany.»

KESSLER, Alfred Christian Friedrich. Repatriated on SS Highland Monarch 7 March, 1946 . Arrested April 4, 1946. B-222 Official List and III Priority List. In No 6 CIC Neuengamme. Internee No 609624. B-222 on Official List. Brought to repatriation center under police escort. Report of Interrogation by OMGUS, External Assets Branch, dated May 28, 1946: The subject was born at Hagen/Westphalia, Germany, on 21 December 1898, and went to Spain in 1928, remaining there until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. He married the daughter of Maria SEMINARIO, a Peruvian citizen with a personal fortune in Spain estimated to be Pesetas 400,000. She and KEESLER’s wife, Anna Luisa HILBEK / HILBCK, are living at the Lima Country Club, Lima, Peru.

      Upon leaving Spain at the beginning of the Civil War, KEESLER made a visit to Germany which lasted some four weeks. Without returning to Spain the subject and his family went to Peru, passing through Switzerland, France, Argentine and Chile. KESSLER claimed he spent the years of the Spenish Civil War in Argentine and Peru, remaining in the latter place until 1939.

      On 14 August 1939 the interrogatee returned to Spain from Peru. He insisted that his only occupation was assisting in the management of a chicken farm, the Avicola Peruana Sociedad Ltda», near Alcala de Henares/ Madrid. He added that he had returned to Spain to determine the condition of the chicken farm, and that he had a round trip ticket. This farm was the property of KESSLER’s mother-in-law. He alleged that she had provided him with .000 or .000, English pound sterling 1,600, and a letter of credit to the Banco Aleman Transatlantico for 0.

      KESSLER claimed that he sold the farm, shortly after his return to Spain, for Pesetas 100,000. He added that the outbreak of war prevented his return to Peru. He used the funds provided by his mother-in-law and acquired from the sale of the farm to pay living expenses in Spain up to the time of his repatriation to Germany on the SS Highland Monarch in March 1946. The subject’s declaration on MGAX(1) form indicated the following assets: Pesetas 353 and Peruvian Soles 300, on deposit in the Internment Camp; approximately Swiss francs 400 on deposit at the Schweizerische Bankgesellschaft Zurich, (stated to be funds transmitted by his mother-in-law for his subsistence), and approximately Pesos 15.000 credit at the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Madrid, (also funds extended by his mother-in-law for subsistence).

      The advances by his mother-in-law were, according to the subject, the only funds he had in Spain. He denied having engaged in any business other than the sale of the farm in Spain. During the interrogation KESSLER made re­ference to the Swiss francs 400 – declared on MGAX(1) -claiming them to be funds sent by his family in Peru and intended solely for his upkeep. He explained that his family had telegraphed the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Madrid, through the Lima branch authorizing his use of the Pesetas paid in for the farm and extending him credit.

      Confronted with the charge of working for German financial and commercial intelligence in close contact with the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Kessler denied this, insisting that a mistake had been made in identity of the Kessler accused. He added that a man named KESSLER, (no relation), had purchased the farm.

      The subject said that he believed that one Pablo KESSLER, son of a Conrado KESSLER, connected with the Ritz Hotel, Madrid, is the agent referred to in informa­tion available to the interrogators. Pablo KESSLER was thought to be an Abwehr agent.

      The farm in Spain was purchased from the subject by Conrado KESSLER through his lawyer, one Jose SOTO REGUERA, Madrid. The purchase price was paid to the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Madrid.

      The subject has a brother, Alfredo KESSLER, who is a naturalized citizen of the United states, residing at 551 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Alfredo is engaged in the purchase and sale of stamps.

KÖNEKAMP, Eduard. Decorated by FRANCO with the Medalla de la Orden Imperial del Yugo y las Flechas. (BOE, 30 Septiembre, 1941).Counsellor.

      «Even earlier, in December 1939, an official of the German Foreign Institute mentioned the connection between poverty and the desirability of destruction in a report about his trip through occupied Poland. This official, Dr. Eduard KONEKAMP, reported his observations on the first mass resettlements from the annexed western part of Poland to the eastern edge of the newly formed General Government:

      Many Germans probably see Jews in such masses for the first time…. [The ghettos] are among the filthiest things imaginable. Here the Jews vegetate in quarters that are sometimes as much as four flights underground. The prevailing hygienic and moral conditions here are ghastly.

      The kinds of «criminal Jewish types» milling about, his report continued, far surpassed the ones depicted by the Sturmer. But now «they are most vigorously enlisted to do labor, [and] those who do not appear for work are shot.» The latter assertion, however, corresponded to Konekamp’s imagined desires rather than the reality at the time.

     Konekamp, who after World War II was appointed Deputy Mayor of Stuttgart by the Allies, described in his 1939 report what were no doubt common German reactions when confronted with the poverty, exacerbated by wartime, of the Polish-Jewish residential quarters:

      The destruction of this sub-humanity (Untermenschentum) would serve the interests of the entire world. But this destruction poses an extraordinarily difficult problem. Executions will not work. Also, one cannot allow women and children to be shot. Here and there one can also count on the losses incurred during evacuations, and 450 are said to have perished during a transport of 1,000 Jews from Lublin…. All the agencies concerned with the Jewish question recognize the inadequacy of these measures. But a solution to this complicated problem has not yet been found.

      It took two more years until such visionary schemes of destruction, conceived by mid-level bureaucrats, were implemented. During this time German administrative practices produced conditions that made genocide appear reasonable and useful». Gotz Aly and Susanne Heim.

KURRER, Otto. Hptm. Acting Leiter I-H KO Spain from April 1941 to May 1942.

      Counter Intelligence Intermediate Interrogation Report, dated 27 September, 1945 (Interrogation Records Prepared for War Crimes Proceedings at Nuernberg, 1945-1947 ccpa INTERR. OTTO KURRER). Information given about personnel and activities Abwehr Spain up to May 1942:

      Abwehr I-H Spain: Nests had been set up in Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Algeciras and Tetuan (Spanish Morocco) to gather information, and it was the function of the Abwehr I-H Leiter in KO Spain to extract all the military information contained in the Nests’ reports, collate it, edit it, and send it on to Berlin. (Before KURRER went to Spain, Nest reports had been routed directly from Madrid to Berlin without preliminary processing. Consequently, the I-H Office in Berlin was forced to wade through a great deal of useless information to glean the intelligence it was interested in.) KURRER, besides screening reports to make sure only military,naval, and air intelligence would he forwarded to Berlin, also briefed the Nests on the type of information they were to seek. Hitherto each Nestleiter had granted his agente considerable latitude in carrying out their assignments, and this absence of centralized control led to unsatisfactory results. It was not unusual for reports to come in stating that on a given dry a certain ship had arrived at Gibraltar and had departed at some later dato but failing to describe the activities or identify the passangers aboard ship. Once KURRER had oriented his Nestleiters, however, Berlin began to learn of Allied notables arriving in or leaving Spain and of troop movements probable destinations, and the number and types of weapons and supplies going to the British armies in the East­ern Mediterranean.

      Communications: The Nests sent their reports to Madrid once or twice a week, and in addition the stations at Algeciras, Barcelona, San Sebastian, and Tetuan had radio communication with the KO. Written reports were sent to Berlin by diplomatic pouch. Each report was put into an envelope marked with the code name of the section or individual for whom it was intended. This was then put into a larger envelope, marked Ausland Abwehr, which in turn was put in the pouch addressed to the Legations Rat. Thus the Embassy had no opportunity to read or censor the reports. Later, however in 1944, the RSHA began to intercept the reporta in Berlin, and the Abwehr could do no more than determine wheth­er a given report had been read (by using sealing wax on the envelope or by placing a piece of thread under the flap); they could not prevent the RSHA from reading them. In most cases the courier taking the pouch from Spain to Germany was a German officer, business man, official, or any other reputable person who happened to be going at the time. Messa­ges sent to Berlin by radio were confined to short or urgent ones.

      The man in charge of radio communication for Abw I in Spain was O/Lt von BAHRFELD, alias von BENTHEIM, who came to MADRID at the beginn­ing of 1942.

      Nest Madrid: KUEHLENTHAL was the head of the Nest in Madrid. His assistant and complete confidant was a man named KNAPPE. They ran all the agents who were recruited from Madrid and supplied information for Abw I-H, M, and L. KURRER knows that KUEHLENTHAL had placed at least one steward on each of the Spanish ships Cabo de Hornos and Cabo de Buena Esperanza plying between Spain and the US, but he does not know if these men were active agents or go-betweens. One of the press attaches in the Spanish Legation in London was working for KUEHLENTHAL who had supplied him with a radio, but KURRER dees not know anything of its use. At times KUEHL­ENTHAL would tell KURRER he had an agent going to England, but would not reveal the agent’s name nor what type of information he was best quali­fied to get. As a result KURRER was unable to draw up a list of specif­ic questions for the agent’s guidance and had to be content with inform­ation of general military value. Nevertheless, KUEHLENTHAL did supply more information than most of the people in Spain and was properly re­garded by his superiors in Madrid and Berlin as a valuable Nestleiter. His reputation for efficiency remained intact even when the RSHA took control in 1944.

      Nest Barcelona: Nest Barcelona was run by PAUL, alias don PABLO, a lazy individual who relied on his assistant KOEPKE to handle most of the agents. KOEPKE, therefore_t would be more familiar with the activities of that Nest. Both of these men were assigned to Barcelona, at the outbreak of the war and presumably are still there, or at least somewhere in Spain. KURRER heard that in 1941 PAUL had considered sending a Spanish officer to South Africa as an agent in the guise of a monk. The officer was to go to Rome for an interview with the Pope and then proceed to South Africa. The objectives of the interview and mission are not known.

        Nest San Sebastian: FURCH, alias PUENTE, was the heed of Nest San Sebastian. His pri­mary duty was expediting the passage of persons and materiel across the border, usually in close cooperation with FUCHS, Leiter of Nest Biarritz, Besides helping agents cross the border without excessive interference from the Spanish police, FURCH facilitated the travel of GIS personnel and helped them smuggle whatever they wished out of Spain. (KO Spain frequently had no jurisdiction over some of these agents who had been hired by an Ast or Nest, yet FURCH was called upon to aid these people in crossing the frontier, too.) The major portion of this traffic was routed through the frontier town of IRUN. FURCH’s job was not too difficult as there was a working arrangement between the Spaniards and the Germans whereby either could cross the border, bag and baggage, without being subject to inspection by the controlling party.

      Nest Algeciras: The chief of Nest Algeciras was CARBE, alias don ALBERTO, who was concerned primarily with the Gibraltar area and was assisted by a Kptn KELLER, alias BODEGA. KURRER believes that operations were conducted mainly by recruiting agents from among the thousands of Spanish workmen who lived in Algeciras and conmuted to Gibraltar. CARBE also handled the negotiations with local Spanish authorities for the installation of infra-red equipment across the Straits of Gibraltar for the purpose of recording ship movements through the Straits. At one time these in­stallations were destroyed, possibly by Allied agents. CARBE was assisted in discovering the strength and armament of Gibraltar by Lt Col SANCHEZ RUBIO of the Spanish Intelligence Service. This station, KURRER believes, was closed sometime in 1944 because of pressure on Spain by the United States and Great Britain.

      Nest Tetuan: The Leiter of Nest Tetuan was Obst RUDOLF, alias RECKE, who was considered the best operator in North Africa. He used a great number of agents, mostly Arab and Moroccan traders. Each one supplied him with a small bit of reliable information, and because of the multitude of his agents RUDOLF was able to piece together a reasonably compre­hensive picture of what was going on in the area under observation. The bulk of the intelligence secured by this Nest was concerned with French Morocco and Algeria. From reading RUDOLF’s reports, KURRER is fairly sure that he never sent any agents to the US or England. In 1944, under Allied pressure, Spain forced Germany to close down this station, and RUDOLF was sent to KdM Stuttgart as Leiter I.

      GIS Connections with the Spanish IS: Collaboration between the Abwehr and the Spanish Intelligence Service was very close. CARBE and SANCHEZ RUBIO worked together at Algeciras and after the expulsion of the Germans from that area, SANCHEZ RUBIO reported activities in Gibraltar to the KO in Madrid. KUEHLENTHAL made daily visits to the SIS office in Madrid which was across the street from the German Embassy. He conferred mainly with Gen MARTINEZ DE CAMPOS and Lt Col PARDO on subjects unknown. In autumn of 1940 CANARIS held discussions . with FRANCO concerning an attack upon Gibraltar. In the next few months, on Spanish orders, airfields were built, fuel dumps were constructed, and artillery was placed in Algeciras. During this period two German divisions were brought down to the Spanish frontier and, in addition, two squadrons of the Luft­waffe were allocated to the operation. However, in March 1941, Hitler canceled the plan because he had decided to attack Russia.

Conclusions: Although KURRER’s information does not supply a completo picture, it furnishes a pattern of the activities of Abwehr I in Spain and, more im­portant, shows the extent to which the Spaniards collaborated with the Germans. (See diagram in explanatory notes about Abwehr).

      Spanish. Address: Hotel Albert I^er, Place Rogier, Brussels; 77 rue Bosnie, St. Gilles, Brussels (wife). Reported to have left for Switzerland via Germany, 31 Aug 44

      Background: Born Ginesta, Tarragona, 20 Feb. 1903. Married to Renee BAUDELET, Belgian; one son, Francois. Arrived in Belgium from St. Etienne, 16 Mar. 1921 .Occupation professed: hairdresser

      Left for Switzerland via Germany, 31 Aug 44. Attached to Abt. VI. Falangiste and Germanophile.

From Roberts Commission reports, Art Project m-z. British memorandum dated 29 December 1944:

      Subject: Possible Connection between S.D. and Stolen Art Treasures:

      SWEERTS, the Sipo and S.D. character now in 020, as you will recall, made a trip to Spain in July-august 1944 with one CHERUY who is now imprisoned in Belgium as an S.D. collaborator. CHERUY was recently interrogated primarily to check SWEERTS’ version of the Spanish trip. Generally their stories coincided.

      However both SWEERTS and CHERUY knew one SOLA Francisco (or Pietro) who was given by SWEERTS as an agent of Abt. VI, Sipo and S.D. Other 020 characters of S.D. fame who informed on SOLA are COLLET and GARITTE. In the course of his interrogation CHERUY gives the following information on SOLA which may be of interest to those persons in our organization interested in stolen art treasures.

      «It was SWEERTS who introduced CHERUY to Pietro SOLA and Francisco JORDA. These two eminent figures of the racketeering world were described as buyers for the wine importing firm of WEIDEMANN in Antwerp. However, they were catholic in their business interests, and willing to engage in any transaction which offered a quick return. They were Spanish subjects and lived in the Hotel Albert Premier, place Rogier, Brussels. CHERUY is unaware of any connection they may have had with the SD. When CHERUY met them they were proposing a deal whereby SWEERTS would arrange for their wine to be brought across the Belgian frontier in German military lorries to avoid customs duty. He does not know whether SWEERTS was able to follow up this proposition. They were also interested in the commercial aspect of Old Masters, and once asked CHERUY to sell a Rambrandt for them. He saw them in the company of a German Doctor (name unknown) and of a well-known Belgian art expert. Sometime between May and July they went with the latter to Monaco with a collection of pictures. They sometimes asked him to sell French francs. On one occasion

     JORDA asked him to change a hundred thousand French francs at the Brussels Bourse. He saw them for the last time sitting in a car outside the Bourse some four or five days before the arrival of the Allies. They told him that they were off to Switzerland.»

From Roberts Commission reports, Art Project m-z. British memorandum dated 6 January 1945:

      Subject: Possible Connection between S.D. and Stolen Art Treasures

     Reference: Memorandum to V/48 this same subject, 29 December 1944

      An XB report of 3I December 1944 from Brussels gives additional confirmation that Pietro SOLA and Francisco JORDA, very possibly an S.D. team trafficing in famous paintings, may now be in Switzerland having arrived there from Belgium via Germany.»

KESSLER, Alfred Christian Friedrich. Repatriated on SS Highland Monarch 7 March, 1946 . Arrested April 4, 1946. B-222 Official List and III Priority List. In No 6 CIC Neuengamme. Internee No 609624. B-222 on Official List. Brought to repatriation center under police escort. Report of Interrogation by OMGUS, External Assets Branch, dated May 28, 1946: The subject was born at Hagen/Westphalia, Germany, on 21 December 1898, and went to Spain in 1928, remaining there until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. He married the daughter of Maria SEMINARIO, a Peruvian citizen with a personal fortune in Spain estimated to be Pesetas 400,000. She and KEESLER’s wife, Anna Luisa HILBEK / HILBCK, are living at the Lima Country Club, Lima, Peru.

      Upon leaving Spain at the beginning of the Civil War, KEESLER made a visit to Germany which lasted some four weeks. Without returning to Spain the subject and his family went to Peru, passing through Switzerland, France, Argentine and Chile. KESSLER claimed he spent the years of the Spenish Civil War in Argentine and Peru, remaining in the latter place until 1939.

      On 14 August 1939 the interrogatee returned to Spain from Peru. He insisted that his only occupation was assisting in the management of a chicken farm, the Avicola Peruana Sociedad Ltda», near Alcala de Henares/ Madrid. He added that he had returned to Spain to determine the condition of the chicken farm, and that he had a round trip ticket. This farm was the property of KESSLER’s mother-in-law. He alleged that she had provided him with .000 or .000, English pound sterling 1,600, and a letter of credit to the Banco Aleman Transatlantico for 0.

      KESSLER claimed that he sold the farm, shortly after his return to Spain, for Pesetas 100,000. He added that the outbreak of war prevented his return to Peru. He used the funds provided by his mother-in-law and acquired from the sale of the farm to pay living expenses in Spain up to the time of his repatriation to Germany on the SS Highland Monarch in March 1946. The subject’s declaration on MGAX(1) form indicated the following assets: Pesetas 353 and Peruvian Soles 300, on deposit in the Internment Camp; approximately Swiss francs 400 on deposit at the Schweizerische Bankgesellschaft Zurich, (stated to be funds transmitted by his mother-in-law for his subsistence), and approximately Pesos 15.000 credit at the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Madrid, (also funds extended by his mother-in-law for subsistence).

      The advances by his mother-in-law were, according to the subject, the only funds he had in Spain. He denied having engaged in any business other than the sale of the farm in Spain. During the interrogation KESSLER made re­ference to the Swiss francs 400 – declared on MGAX(1) -claiming them to be funds sent by his family in Peru and intended solely for his upkeep. He explained that his family had telegraphed the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Madrid, through the Lima branch authorizing his use of the Pesetas paid in for the farm and extending him credit.

      Confronted with the charge of working for German financial and commercial intelligence in close contact with the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Kessler denied this, insisting that a mistake had been made in identity of the Kessler accused. He added that a man named KESSLER, (no relation), had purchased the farm.

      The subject said that he believed that one Pablo KESSLER, son of a Conrado KESSLER, connected with the Ritz Hotel, Madrid, is the agent referred to in informa­tion available to the interrogators. Pablo KESSLER was thought to be an Abwehr agent.

      The farm in Spain was purchased from the subject by Conrado KESSLER through his lawyer, one Jose SOTO REGUERA, Madrid. The purchase price was paid to the Banco Aleman Transatlantico, Madrid.

      The subject has a brother, Alfredo KESSLER, who is a naturalized citizen of the United states, residing at 551 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Alfredo is engaged in the purchase and sale of stamps.

      «Even earlier, in December 1939, an official of the German Foreign Institute mentioned the connection between poverty and the desirability of destruction in a report about his trip through occupied Poland. This official, Dr. Eduard KONEKAMP, reported his observations on the first mass resettlements from the annexed western part of Poland to the eastern edge of the newly formed General Government:

      Many Germans probably see Jews in such masses for the first time…. [The ghettos] are among the filthiest things imaginable. Here the Jews vegetate in quarters that are sometimes as much as four flights underground. The prevailing hygienic and moral conditions here are ghastly.

      The kinds of «criminal Jewish types» milling about, his report continued, far surpassed the ones depicted by the Sturmer. But now «they are most vigorously enlisted to do labor, [and] those who do not appear for work are shot.» The latter assertion, however, corresponded to Konekamp’s imagined desires rather than the reality at the time.

     Konekamp, who after World War II was appointed Deputy Mayor of Stuttgart by the Allies, described in his 1939 report what were no doubt common German reactions when confronted with the poverty, exacerbated by wartime, of the Polish-Jewish residential quarters:

      The destruction of this sub-humanity (Untermenschentum) would serve the interests of the entire world. But this destruction poses an extraordinarily difficult problem. Executions will not work. Also, one cannot allow women and children to be shot. Here and there one can also count on the losses incurred during evacuations, and 450 are said to have perished during a transport of 1,000 Jews from Lublin…. All the agencies concerned with the Jewish question recognize the inadequacy of these measures. But a solution to this complicated problem has not yet been found.

      It took two more years until such visionary schemes of destruction, conceived by mid-level bureaucrats, were implemented. During this time German administrative practices produced conditions that made genocide appear reasonable and useful». Gotz Aly and Susanne Heim.

KURRER, Otto. Hptm. Acting Leiter I-H KO Spain from April 1941 to May 1942.

      Counter Intelligence Intermediate Interrogation Report, dated 27 September, 1945 (Interrogation Records Prepared for War Crimes Proceedings at Nuernberg, 1945-1947 ccpa INTERR. OTTO KURRER). Information given about personnel and activities Abwehr Spain up to May 1942:

      Abwehr I-H Spain: Nests had been set up in Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Algeciras and Tetuan (Spanish Morocco) to gather information, and it was the function of the Abwehr I-H Leiter in KO Spain to extract all the military information contained in the Nests’ reports, collate it, edit it, and send it on to Berlin. (Before KURRER went to Spain, Nest reports had been routed directly from Madrid to Berlin without preliminary processing. Consequently, the I-H Office in Berlin was forced to wade through a great deal of useless information to glean the intelligence it was interested in.) KURRER, besides screening reports to make sure only military,naval, and air intelligence would he forwarded to Berlin, also briefed the Nests on the type of information they were to seek. Hitherto each Nestleiter had granted his agente considerable latitude in carrying out their assignments, and this absence of centralized control led to unsatisfactory results. It was not unusual for reports to come in stating that on a given dry a certain ship had arrived at Gibraltar and had departed at some later dato but failing to describe the activities or identify the passangers aboard ship. Once KURRER had oriented his Nestleiters, however, Berlin began to learn of Allied notables arriving in or leaving Spain and of troop movements probable destinations, and the number and types of weapons and supplies going to the British armies in the East­ern Mediterranean.

      Communications: The Nests sent their reports to Madrid once or twice a week, and in addition the stations at Algeciras, Barcelona, San Sebastian, and Tetuan had radio communication with the KO. Written reports were sent to Berlin by diplomatic pouch. Each report was put into an envelope marked with the code name of the section or individual for whom it was intended. This was then put into a larger envelope, marked Ausland Abwehr, which in turn was put in the pouch addressed to the Legations Rat. Thus the Embassy had no opportunity to read or censor the reports. Later, however in 1944, the RSHA began to intercept the reporta in Berlin, and the Abwehr could do no more than determine wheth­er a given report had been read (by using sealing wax on the envelope or by placing a piece of thread under the flap); they could not prevent the RSHA from reading them. In most cases the courier taking the pouch from Spain to Germany was a German officer, business man, official, or any other reputable person who happened to be going at the time. Messa­ges sent to Berlin by radio were confined to short or urgent ones.

      The man in charge of radio communication for Abw I in Spain was O/Lt von BAHRFELD, alias von BENTHEIM, who came to MADRID at the beginn­ing of 1942.

      Nest Madrid: KUEHLENTHAL was the head of the Nest in Madrid. His assistant and complete confidant was a man named KNAPPE. They ran all the agents who were recruited from Madrid and supplied information for Abw I-H, M, and L. KURRER knows that KUEHLENTHAL had placed at least one steward on each of the Spanish ships Cabo de Hornos and Cabo de Buena Esperanza plying between Spain and the US, but he does not know if these men were active agents or go-betweens. One of the press attaches in the Spanish Legation in London was working for KUEHLENTHAL who had supplied him with a radio, but KURRER dees not know anything of its use. At times KUEHL­ENTHAL would tell KURRER he had an agent going to England, but would not reveal the agent’s name nor what type of information he was best quali­fied to get. As a result KURRER was unable to draw up a list of specif­ic questions for the agent’s guidance and had to be content with inform­ation of general military value. Nevertheless, KUEHLENTHAL did supply more information than most of the people in Spain and was properly re­garded by his superiors in Madrid and Berlin as a valuable Nestleiter. His reputation for efficiency remained intact even when the RSHA took control in 1944.

      Nest Barcelona: Nest Barcelona was run by PAUL, alias don PABLO, a lazy individual who relied on his assistant KOEPKE to handle most of the agents. KOEPKE, therefore_t would be more familiar with the activities of that Nest. Both of these men were assigned to Barcelona, at the outbreak of the war and presumably are still there, or at least somewhere in Spain. KURRER heard that in 1941 PAUL had considered sending a Spanish officer to South Africa as an agent in the guise of a monk. The officer was to go to Rome for an interview with the Pope and then proceed to South Africa. The objectives of the interview and mission are not known.

        Nest San Sebastian: FURCH, alias PUENTE, was the heed of Nest San Sebastian. His pri­mary duty was expediting the passage of persons and materiel across the border, usually in close cooperation with FUCHS, Leiter of Nest Biarritz, Besides helping agents cross the border without excessive interference from the Spanish police, FURCH facilitated the travel of GIS personnel and helped them smuggle whatever they wished out of Spain. (KO Spain frequently had no jurisdiction over some of these agents who had been hired by an Ast or Nest, yet FURCH was called upon to aid these people in crossing the frontier, too.) The major portion of this traffic was routed through the frontier town of IRUN. FURCH’s job was not too difficult as there was a working arrangement between the Spaniards and the Germans whereby either could cross the border, bag and baggage, without being subject to inspection by the controlling party.

      Nest Algeciras: The chief of Nest Algeciras was CARBE, alias don ALBERTO, who was concerned primarily with the Gibraltar area and was assisted by a Kptn KELLER, alias BODEGA. KURRER believes that operations were conducted mainly by recruiting agents from among the thousands of Spanish workmen who lived in Algeciras and conmuted to Gibraltar. CARBE also handled the negotiations with local Spanish authorities for the installation of infra-red equipment across the Straits of Gibraltar for the purpose of recording ship movements through the Straits. At one time these in­stallations were destroyed, possibly by Allied agents. CARBE was assisted in discovering the strength and armament of Gibraltar by Lt Col SANCHEZ RUBIO of the Spanish Intelligence Service. This station, KURRER believes, was closed sometime in 1944 because of pressure on Spain by the United States and Great Britain.

      Nest Tetuan: The Leiter of Nest Tetuan was Obst RUDOLF, alias RECKE, who was considered the best operator in North Africa. He used a great number of agents, mostly Arab and Moroccan traders. Each one supplied him with a small bit of reliable information, and because of the multitude of his agents RUDOLF was able to piece together a reasonably compre­hensive picture of what was going on in the area under observation. The bulk of the intelligence secured by this Nest was concerned with French Morocco and Algeria. From reading RUDOLF’s reports, KURRER is fairly sure that he never sent any agents to the US or England. In 1944, under Allied pressure, Spain forced Germany to close down this station, and RUDOLF was sent to KdM Stuttgart as Leiter I.

      GIS Connections with the Spanish IS: Collaboration between the Abwehr and the Spanish Intelligence Service was very close. CARBE and SANCHEZ RUBIO worked together at Algeciras and after the expulsion of the Germans from that area, SANCHEZ RUBIO reported activities in Gibraltar to the KO in Madrid. KUEHLENTHAL made daily visits to the SIS office in Madrid which was across the street from the German Embassy. He conferred mainly with Gen MARTINEZ DE CAMPOS and Lt Col PARDO on subjects unknown. In autumn of 1940 CANARIS held discussions . with FRANCO concerning an attack upon Gibraltar. In the next few months, on Spanish orders, airfields were built, fuel dumps were constructed, and artillery was placed in Algeciras. During this period two German divisions were brought down to the Spanish frontier and, in addition, two squadrons of the Luft­waffe were allocated to the operation. However, in March 1941, Hitler canceled the plan because he had decided to attack Russia.

Conclusions: Although KURRER’s information does not supply a completo picture, it furnishes a pattern of the activities of Abwehr I in Spain and, more im­portant, shows the extent to which the Spaniards collaborated with the Germans. (See diagram in explanatory notes about Abwehr).
