Nest Morocco 1940-1944

      Although Obst/Lt (later Obst) RUDOLPH (alias RECKE), the head of Nest Morocco was already in Tetuan in January 1940, the time of WIEDEMANN’S arrival, actual operations of the Nest did not begin until considerably later. RUDOLPH, who represented Abwehr I, was joined by Sdf Hans KRUEGER, German vice-consul at Tetuan, in the summer of 1940. KRUEGER was the representative of Abwehr II. WIEDEMANN, because of his proficiency in Arabic, became KRUEGER’s assistant. In the spring of 1941 the office of Abwehr II moved to Tangier. Late in this year (1941) Hptm GOERING (alias GOERITZ) arrived in Tangier as an Abwehr representative. In early 1942, Kapt Z See KELLER established Abwehr I-M, a naval observation station at Tangier. RUDOLPH was in charge of the supervision of the Nest, but KRUEGER, GOERING, and KELLER were not subordinate to him, and received their orders from superiors in Berlin.

      Thus, in 1942, the organisation of Nest Morocco was as follows:

Abwehr I (Tetuan):

– Chief: RUDOLPH.

– Assistant: Uffz BOETGER

– Typist: Frl SCHUETZ

– W/T operator: Oswald LANGENHEIM

– Purser: Name unknown to WIEDEMANN

      Mission: To obtain information on strength, intentions, and movements of French (later American) forces in Morocco.

Abwehr I-M (Tangier) :

– Chief: KELLER

– Two or three Navy men served as his assistants, but WIEDEMANN does not know their names.

Mission: to obtain information concerning allied naval movements in the Straits of Gibraltar.

Abwehr II: (Tangier):

– Chief; KRUEGER, Hans

– Assistant: WIEDEMANN, Otto

– W/T Operator: WIEDEMANN does not recall the name, since various people worked in this position.

– Typist: Frl HEFTER

– Purser: KERN

Mission: To influence tne natives for possible resist anee against allied policies.

Abwehr III (Tangier) :

– Chief: GOERING

– Assistant: There were two or three assistants, but WIEDEMANN does not know their names. W/T operator: Abwehr III used the W/T operator of Abwehr II.

Mission: To obtain information concerning Allied inr telligence services and operations in Morocco.

      The missions of Nest Morocco were not realized with any degree of success. Perhaps the greatest measure of success was achieved by Abwehr I, which accumulated considerable information about the forthcoming Allied invasion of North Africa, This information WIEDEMANN does not know what methods were used to acquire this intelligence – was transmitted to Berlin, but apparently it was ignored, since the actual landings came as a surprise. It is possible that I-M was an asset to the Seekriegsfuehrung, but WIEDEMANN knows of no sinkings of allied ships which might be attributed to activity of this organisation. Abwehr II made but little progress, as the Arabs would not forgive tne Germans for their failure to improve the status of Morocco while France was occupied. Finally, as far as WIEDEMANN knows, the activities of Abwehr III were completely insignificant.

      By the autumn of 1944, it had become pellucid both to RUDOLPH and KRUEGER that Germany would lose the war. However, WIEDEMANN believes that there were no plans to continue the Nest after the end of the war. In October 1944, when WIEDEMANN left Morocco, the Nest had dwindled to a small unit led by Uffz BOETGER and later he received reports that this remnant had been dissolved towards the end of the year. WIEDEMANN has no information concerning present whereabouts of the personnel of Nest Morocco, with the exception of Oswald LANGENHEIM (w/t operator for Abwehr I), who is in American captivity.

The following German W/T stations in Morocco were known to WIEDEMANN:

Name Location Organization Operator

Thea Tetuan Abwehr Oswald LANGENHEIM

Pantheria Tangier Abwehr Heinz KROLL

¿Tangier SD O/Schrf LECHNER (fnu)

¿ Tangier Auswaertige Amt ? .

¿ Melilla Abwehr ?

¿ Casablanca Abwehr Kapt UNDERBERG (fnu)

      The above-named W/T stations had fixed operating schedules. No contacts were made with submarines. They sent lists of shipping to Madrid and Berlin daily , but they never contacted ships at sea. It is possible, of course., that there were other stations used for this purpose., but their existence is not known to WIEDEMANN. WIEDEMANN has no knowledge of ship sinkings resulting from W/T activity.

2. The following agents are known to WIEDEMANN:

HAIK, Abakum: Chief agent for the Abwehr in Tangier. He had several agents, called Mohammed, Abdul, and other common Arab names, who were generally used to bring the «mail» from Casablanca. HAIK was a Russian emigrant of Jewish origin.

ABD EL AZIZ . Chief agent for the SD. He was married to a German and lived in Tangier, but WIEDEMANN has no further details concerning him.

HAGGEMACHER, Paul. Agent for Abwehr I. He was a Swiss watch dealer living in Tangier . Served as a mes­sage center for agents’ letters,reports, and financial transaction. Was on good terms with the British and later went to Gibraltar,

QADUR ABD ALLAH. He contacted the natives in French Morocco.

– Sdf Hans KRUEGER of Abwehr I I was in charge of the work with the natives, and especially with Arab nationalist groups. Since he could not speak Arabic, KRUEGER used WIEDEMANN as his inter­preter and Arabic specialist. KRUEGER was not subordinate to RECKE, but the latter was entitled to receive a copy of all letters, telegrams, and reports which KRUEGER sent to Berlin to Hptm NEIZERT in the OKW Abwehr Abt II.

      KRUEGER exploited the Arabs in several ways. At the be­ginning of the war efforts were made to lower the morale of Moroccan soldiers who were to appear on European fronts. After the fall of France, the Abwehr attempted to maintain order in Morocco by dint of its influence on the nationalist parties. After the American occupation of North Africa,

      KRUEGER attempted to use the nationalists as agents to incite riots. This met with very little success, since the Arabs had come to realize that Germany had no intention of granting Moroccan independence in the event of victory.

The Germans employed three principal nationalist leaders:

Abd el Khalaq TORRES, alias STIER, leader of tne Nationalist Reform Party. TORRES had influence mainly in tne Spanish zone, but also had some supporters in French Morocco. At the beginning of the war he worked for the SD., but in 1940 he suggested to KRUEGER and WIEDEMANN that, a network of agents might be estab­lished in French Morocco. He received 20,000 Pesetas for this undertaking but actually the network was a complete failure. TORRES also disseminated anti-French propaganda by means of pamphlets and newspaper articles. He owned the most important newspaper in the Spanish zone, El Hurriyah. He gave infor­mation to the Germans, but this was always worthless. He would, for example give the «location» of an allied airfield with «thousands of five-engined and eleven-engined planes». Toward the end, TORRES turned more to Spain and away from German act­ivities. He used the code name STIER.

Brahim WASANI, alias NIVEA, leader of the Nationalist Party, WASANI was introduced to KRUEGER by BElGBEDER, who was at that time the Spanish High Commissioner. WASANI, whose code name was «NIVEA«, had considerable influence in Spanish Morocco. His supporters did the work of agents and disseminated propaganda. At first he was considered important, partly because he had been intro­duced by BElGBEDER, and in 1939 WASANI was invited to Berlin. Actually, however, he did nothing of importance for the Germans or at least for the Abwehr. It is possible tnat he was working for the German SD at the same time.

Ahmed BELAFREJ was an Arab nationalist in French Morocco. He was very cautious and never accepted money from the Germans or Spaniards. He was estimated by the GIS to be a well-informed reliable man but extremely timid and incapable of action. This, however, was an error. He was the only Arab leader to personally start a revolt. In the spring of 1943, he told WIEDEMANN he would no longer work for the Germans. Later., he was exiled by the French to Corsica.

      The only Spanish official contacted by WIEDEMANN was one Lt. NAVAS, the assistant Officer of Civilian Control in Tangier. NAVAS signed passes, released agents, and gave occasional bits of information which were rarely of interest. He occasionally received gifts of money from the Germans.. RECKE usually con­tacted the other Spanish officials himself.

       WIEDEMANN also met a number of other Spanish officers at parties and dinners, but never intimately. He remembers Col. de MIGUEL, Col. SEA, Maj. AMADO, and Maj. FONTANA.

      The German consular staff was financed by «Free Reichsmark Checks» which were cashed at the French bank in Tangier.

       The Abwehr funds were received through the courier mail in bundles of 1000-French franc notes. These were exchanged for Moroccan francs at a general loss of 20-50%.

       WIEDEMANN knows nothing of the disposition of these funds, nor of the financial arrangements of the SD.

       In a general sense all Moroccans can be regarded as potential contacts for the GIS as long as they aspire for national inde­pendence. Many, of course, were deceived by the Germans, but the final breakdown of Germany might have changed this opinion as it did after the first World War.

       The only people who would work at the present time for Germany or the GIS again are WASANI and possibly TORRES. How­ever, WIEDEMANN knows of no concrete agreements.

       WIEDEMANN doubts very much that there is any stay-behind organization in Morocco. When WIEDEMANN left there was only a very small section under Uffz BOETTGER, and he received reports that this was dissolved shortly afterwards.

      Don Joaquin BAU, the first Minister of Public Instruction under the FRANCO regime, attempted to negotiate armistice terms between Germany and the western powers in 1944.

      WIEDEMANN who was vacationing in Barcelona with his family in the summer of 1944. received instructions to accompany BAU and SS O/Fuehrer BERNHARD to Berlin. BAU told WIEDEMANN that the proposed negotiattd peace had been encouraged by a Spanish papal nuncio.

       While he was in Berlin, BAU had many discussions with representatives of the SS and the RSHA, but WIEDEMANN was not present. BAU was generally taken to these conferences by BERNHARD, who was also the head of the Sofindus in Madrid. Among the points discussed were:

1. Free hand in politics for Britain and the United States west and south of Germany, including the Mediterranean. Free hand for Germany beyond the eastern boundaries of the Reich,

2. Revision of racial and Church policies by Germany.

      BAU had his last talk with SCHELLENBERG before returning with WIEDEMANN to Madrid. He (BAU) was disappointed and suspicious over not seeing HlMMLER, and was skeptical of the efficacy of the discussions. He complained that interest in Berlin was slight. «I have given them a real chance, and they don’t seem to realize it».

      When WIEDEMANN returned to Germany in January 1945, he inquired about the matter, and was told that no one was interested in the plan any more. By that time, apparently, it was obvious that Germany was in no position to discuss a negotiated peace.

Reportedly dead in accident in August 1944.

      From OCCPAC Interrogation Transcripts And Related Records › Shellenberg, Walter:

«Q. I have two matters for interrogation. The first one is whether you know anything about an agreement between HIMMLER and the Spanish authorities relating to the police in Spain.

A. Yes.

Q. Will you tell us what you know about it?

A. I know that such an agreement was concluded. I do not know any specific details and according to my recollection this agreement was concluded between HIMMLER and the then Chief of Spanish police whose name I do not remember. The intermediary was the Spanish ambassador in Berlin, MAYALDE.*

Q. When was this agreement purportedly negotiated?

A. According to my recollection in 1941. I may be in error about the time, but it was at the time when the Spanish Chief of Police visited Germany and negotiated personally with HIMMLER in regard to this agreement. The entire question of the Spanish Reds played an important role in this agreement. All these negotiations were based upon the close contact which existed already between HIMMLER and the Spanish Chief of Police during the Spanish Civil War.

By virtue of this agreement the incorporation of about 25 to 30 members of the Security Police in Spain within the framework of the German mission in Spain was made possible.

Q. Through what period did these men operate in that fashion?

A. I must take it dependent upon the year during which this agreement was concluded. It may have been 1940 or 1941. Since that year the consent of the Spanish police was granted.

Q. Did these men continue to operate in that capacity until the end?

A. Yes. They have worked in Spain continually since then.

Q. Do you know whether they are still there?

A. Part of them, perhaps.

Q. Do you know any of their names?

A. The Police attache was WINZER. But he is supposed to have been killed by an airplane crash on one of his last trips. Another one was VEY. The third one was in the beginning in Barcelona and was transferred to Madrid after the accident of WINZER. I have stated his name in previous interrogations. «It begins with H-a…» It doesn´t occur to me right now.

Q. Do you recall any other names?

A. Not at this moment, biut I am sure other names will occur to me.

Q. Do you know whether the agreement between HIMMLER and Spanish authorities was written?

A. No, I don’t believe so. I believe that this was within the total framework of a large plan according to which pressure was to be exerted upon Spain regarding the march through Spain to Gibraltar. And this was the one of concealed preparations. However, I must add that this is my knowledge only from hearsay.

Q. Do you knou whether the OKW or any military echelon had any interest or participation in negotiation of this agreement?

A. No. I would like to put in this way. OKW had had through the Amt CANARIS, very close ties already with the Spanish General Staff. And what HIMMLER did was only some sort of after-thought. Since the Spanish Civil War and the activities of the Condor Legion, CANARIS had very intimate working relations with Spain…»

From Roberts Commission – Geographical Card File on Possible Art-Looting Subjects › Spain :

«6 November 1945

Subject: KIRSCH, Adolf, or Alfredo (qv)

      In MIEDL papers in GOUDSTIKKER house at 458 Heerengracht, Amsterdam, was a list of pictures sold by MIEDL for the account of Alfredo ZANTOP, payment to be made not in Pesetas but in implements in Spain. Also in the correspondence was mention of pictures sold for the account of A. HIRSCH of Berlin and Buenos Aires.

      After my return to London, when checking the British files, Alfredo ZANTOP was reported to be an agent of Ast Cologne, running agents in South America. An agent named HIRSCH with no Christian name also appeared in the British files as being from South America and also a member of Ast Cologne. It would seem to be a remarkable coincidence that ZANTOP and HIRSCH, receiving money for pictures belonging to them sold through the medium of GOERING’s chief agent in Holland, MIEDL, are not one and the same with the agents of Ast Cologne.(…)

      MIEDL sent a report to GOERING on the ZANTOP sale, indicating its importance to GOERING. He also reported on HIRSCH

      From same file: «Subject is reported to be the President of the Gripos S.A. (printers and engravers), which company is located at Avenida Jose Antonio 778 in Barcelona, Spain. A report, dated July 1939 from a W/BC source, stated that the firm was AB/land controlled.

      In March 1943 a U/DH submission from BC/land to an AB/land military company commander in AB/land consisted of an order emanating from an anonymous sender in BC/land informing the AB/land military company commander that the presence of Corporal Alfred ZANTOP in BC/land was expedient for the settlement of urgent business matters. The anonymous sender suggested that ZANTOP be granted the necessary leave since the AB/land Consulate in BC/land had sanctioned the proposed visit and had set aside 30 March 1943 as the date of the meeting. At that time Alfred ZANTOP was a member of the AB/land army and subsequent reports indicated that he was immediately dispatched to BC/land as per this request.

      On 5 May 1943 information received from W/BC sources indicated that Alfred ZANTOP had been made President of the Gripos S.A. in Barcelona.

      Subsequent information reveals that subject was suspected of being an AB/land agent and engaged in activities designed to aid in the hiding of German assets.»

ZIEGRA, Hans David . In List of obnoxious Germans proposed for repatriation from Spain. DOB 8/10/1904. With camouflage firm. Repatriated from Spain by air (dates from January 29 to February 25, 1946). Po. No. 0792. Mentioned as interned in Camp 76, Asperg on March 27, 1946.

      Interrogated between February and May 1946. British Reports.

       In 1936 the New York Overseas Corporation was founded by the following people:

Roy Fraser POTTS: 40%, Wm. ADAMS LITTELL: 5%, James MAXWELL FASSETT: 5%, ZIEGRA: 50%. They were special in dealing with blocked accounts in Germany.

      ZIEGRA said that Prodag was taken out of Sofindus in 1939 and made a private company by SIEVERS (Bremen), LUETTEN (Hamburg) and PECHE. He was certain that BERNHARDT was in fact a partner as well. SIEVERS, S.S. Hauptsturmführer, who was head of Karl Heinz SIEVERS, and D. KIESELHORST, both of Bremen, bought up Mannheimer Muhlenwerke of Mannheim which had a number of branches abroad. ZIEGRA said that SIEVERS was inmensely wealthy, having started the war with nothing. SIEVERS returned to Spain in April 1945 after spending 6 months in Germany and he brought with him a considerable quantity of valuables. ZIEGRA said that Erich MEYER (shipbuilding) had a brother in America and that he was hiding capital in San Sebastián through WEBER, born Austrian and naturalized Spanish.

       According to MINAMEYER, ZIEGRA was an agent in Spain designed for disposal of looted Jewish jewelery and precious stones, amounting to several millions Pesetas. He was also RWM (Ministry of Economics) official charged with unfreezing German assets in South America via Spain from March, 1943 to May, 1945.

      Statement by MINAMAYER, June 26, 1946:

       » We have made extensive reports regarding ZIEGRA in Madrid. In social circles he was always regarded as a boaster and ob­trusive «Hero of women».

      In Berlin he made several Jewish enterprises «Arian» for instance Gerstel.

      He made come the German-Columbian HERTZHAUSER and his wife from Germany to Spain through his connections to the SS-Fuehrungsamt. It then was his desire that HERTZHAUSER in Spain work for this authority, what however was refused by HERTZHAUSER. (Witness: HERTZHAUSER to WOTERS the latter being here in camp).

      Towards the end of the war he tried to make connections with the United States Embassy and had conversations with Col. HOFFMANN. ZIEGRA offered to give valuable in­formation; however, he than pretended to have been called upon from the American side to form an association of de­cent Nazi-Ennemies. At this occasion he also called on LINDENBERG, without knowing that the latter was my co­worker. LINDENBERG assumed from all this talk that ZIEGRA was selling in Spain and Portugal, as an agent for the Nazis, Jewelry of Jewish ownership in the value of ca. 20 Millions Pesetas.

      When we found out all this we warned all our friends so that ZIEGRA in the future found only closed doors. As far as I remember further we made the following obser­vations:

      That ZIEGRA together with SIEVERS and other people of the Sofindus tried to bring in contact BERNHARD and other people with the gentlemen of the American Embassy. ZIEGRA furthermore tried to trade in South-American pass­ports – genuine or falsified – (Witness: WOTERS). ZIEGRA attempted through methods of extortion to obtain informations and confessions from other German people, (Example: Dr. SCHWENTZNER).

      (The main part of all our informations was passed on already before foundation of office to the Allied commision Madrid, and from there to Col. EBRIGHT -(with the Military Attache)»

Annex to information, dated July 6, 1946:

1) ZIEGRA likes to talk about his banking business in New York. However, his business transactions over there dont seem to have been immaculate. He even mentioned that his partner in New York had been ar­rested afterhe himself had left. (Witness: WOTERS-Arsenal)

2) ZIEGRA had made Gerstel in Berlin, an Arian, just the same as the well known banking house Gerbueder Arnold, Dresden; of the latter firm he linked to say that he was its presi­dent.

3) ZIEGRA was supposed to take over the ill-famed fashion-salon Pombo in Madrid, a pure Gestapo foundation for the purpose of contacting the Spanisn aristocracy. (Witness:Duque de Tetuan PELICAEUS / Madrid)(i.e Guillermo PELIZAEUS y LANTZ, misspelled RANZ in some documents, Duque de Tetuan and Spanish representative of the German firm Phrix)

4) If further details are of interest, it is recommended to hear Mr. WOTERS, at the present time an internee of this camp, who knows ZIEGRA well and was defrauded by him.»

Memorandum by OMGUS, Finance Division, dated 24, April 1946:

«Subject: Hans ZIEGRA, RWM Official, now in Camp 76, Aspberg

Interrogation of Ziegra resulted in the following:

(A) ZIEGRA was dispatched to Spain in March 1943 by the RWM as a foreign exchange expert with the mission of unfreezing German assets in South America.

(B) ZIEGRA stated that there was no German program for safeguarding external assets in South America. In Spain, he named Sofindus and its subsidiary Campagnie Productos Agricola as the largest German operations. Johannes BERNHARDT, of Sofindus, and the Agricola partners, Joachim SIEVERS and Ernest PECHE were named by ZIEGRA as the most active and most dan­gerous German agents. Edgar MAIER, German shipbuilder, and a German merchant named WEBER in San Sebastian were also German Safehaven men.

(C) ZIEGRA founded the banking firm, New York Overseas Corporation, 60 Wall St., New York, and is still head of the firm, although he had no communication with the establishment during his 2 years in Spain.

(D) His appointment as a RWM agent was merely a blind to get him out of Germany, ZIEGRA stated. The appointment was arranged by his friends, Werner MARWEDE, Hanover, and Erwin MECK, Berlin,- RWM officials.

(E) ZIEGRA acquired two dress manufacturing factories in Germany about 1940 and retained them, although sentenced to a labor camp for disloyalty.

(F) Prom March 1943 until 1945, ZIEGRA says, he fooled the German Embassy people concerning his activities. He did nothing for RWM; in fact, he acted as informer to Col. Albert H. HOFFMAN, of the American Embassy, on German economic activities.

(G) ZIEGRA told the interrogator that he had previously made a lengthy statement to Mr. G. M. Robbins, of the Joint Special Financial Detachment.

RECOMMENDATION: Since many of the «facts» recited by ZIEGRA seem contradictory, it is suggested that this office mark his case as «Interested» and obtain more data concerning the New York Overseas Corporation; that we question later German repatriates from Spain about ZIEGRA; that a copy of the Robbins report on ZIEGRA be secured for our file.»

From a C.O.I. (Coordinator of Information) report to Audits & Investigation Branch, Finance Division, Berlin, dated January 27, 1947:

«Subject: Hans D. ZIEGRA

      Klaus FRANKE, who had previously introduced the above subject to me, called me on the telephone today. In reply to my enquiries he informed me that ZIEGRA’s father-in-law lives in Hannover, and that Ziegra obtained his British Travel Order on the recommendations of Colonel BROWN, the U.S. Liaison Officer In Hannover. FRANKE does not believe it likely that ZIEGRA will come back to Berlin, as he said that ZIEGRA had compromised himself somewhat by his former activities, and did not anticipate that he would fare very well if he fell into Russian hands.

      ZIEGRA has left Berlin and is at present on the way to Salzburg and Baden Baden. Apparently his object in going down there is to contact the French Authorities as he wishes to open some kind of financial undertaking in Paris, as FRANKE believes, in collaboration with his American friends. ZIEGRA is apparently on very good terms with high ranking and influential American officers, and FRANKE went so far as to say that he even stands very well with General DRAPER himself. FRANKE believes that General DRAPER was formerly connected with Dillon Read & Co., Investment Bankers of New iorkf who, as you know, were very active In the raising of loan* in the U.S. for Germany after the last war. It is also probable that ZIEGRA has many American acquaintances in financial circles as a result of his former position as President of the New York Overseas Corporation.

      According to FRANKE, ZIEGRA’s intention is to get back into international finance with the help of his American friends. He claims, and probably has, Brazilian nationality, and is consequently always able to avail himself of the protection of the Brazilian Authorities, but FRANKE admits that it is possible that ie still retains his German nationality».

From: U.S. Army. European Command.Intelligence Division, Wartime activities of the German diplomatic and military services during World War II, November 18, 1949: » Born on 8 October 1904 in Hanover. Subject claims to have established and to have been the president of the New York Overseas Corporation, located at 60 Wall Street, New York City.

      During his banking career he has no doubt made many contacts and accumulated vast experiences in this field. Subject’s arrogant attitude, probably leading back to his Wall Street days, brought out quite clearly his psychological attempt to influence the interrogator to his far reaching influence and importance to the business world. During conversations he frequently clings to the name of Col. HOFMANN of the Military Mission in Madrid for whom he had done certain services. Statements and opinions versed regarding subject by various sources, brand him as a her and unreliable. Subject is dangerous because he possesses the gift to lead people where he wants to, and in the opinion of the interrogator is capable of sordid deeds bordering on the criminal. Subject worked for the SD in Spain, and it is true that later on he also worked for Col HOFMANN. On 23 September 1946 when subject was released, he was placed under the surveillance of security forces. Subject was a member of the NSDAP from 1932 to 1939. Subject released to Grossburgwedel 53 Hanover.

ZIMMER, Karl. DOB. Blankenrath, 5 October, 1914. Arrested March 4, 1946. In No 6 CIC Neuengamme. Internee No 609419. Repatriated on SS Haighland Monarch 7 March, 1946. A-574 on Official List. Officer of ZF KO Spanien under Max FRANZBACH. Interrogation dated May 27 1946: ZIMMER was born 5 October 1914 at Blankenrath. He stated that he has been in Madrid, Spain, from October 1941 until he was repatriated in March 1946. He explained that he had gone to Spain as Oberzahlmeister, Inspektor der Abwehr Kasse, (bookkeeper and accountant for the Abwehr), which position he held until the German surrender.

      At the time of the final defeat of the German armies Max FRANZBACH, Abwehr chief in Madrid, ordered ZIMMER to release the Abwehr assets to him. To the best of the subject’s recollection these assets consisted of the following: $ 40.000; Swiss francs 100.000; French francs 1.000.000. British sterling 9.000 or 10.000; a few thousand Argentine Pesos; a sum in Portuguese escudos; approximately 50 kilo of gold; some opium, and net balance of branch offices of the Abwehr. (all Pesetas on hand had been spent, Pesetas 30.000.000 having been received from the German Embassy in Madrid but having been expended at a rate of Pesetas 3.000.000 a month).

      The subject further stated that upon learning that FRANZBACH intended to secret these assets – having,in fact, apportioned them among the agents and begun illegal disposal – he ZIMMER) reported the matter to a «Colonel EBRIGHT» In the American Embassy in Madrid, and furnished the Embassy with a full and detailed list of the Abwehr assets from the Abwehr books and assisted in the recovery of various items.

      ZIMMER claimed to have known none of the agents, professing to having only dealt with the chiefs of the Abwehr. He also disclaimed any knowledge of the mechanics of the supply of gold, currencies, etc., to the Abwehr, although he stated that in August 1944 gold was brought into Spain for the Abwehr by diplomatic pouch. The subject also stated at one point that he had drawn on Sofindus for an amount he could not recall. The various currencies and valuables, (e.g. gold, opium), were supplied to Abwehr agents by their chiefs to be used as bribes, establishment of «fronts» for Abwehr activities and other espionage and sabotage work. The subject said that ha had no specific knowledge of any cloaking operations. He added that he had heard rumours of such transactions involving the German Embassy and the German Navy but that he was unable to supply any details as Abwehr funds were kept apart from Embassy funds.
