| Zusammenfassung: | "In the aftermath of WWII, the victorious Allies vowed to hunt Nazi war criminals "to the ends of the earth." Yet many slipped away to the four corners of the world or were shielded by the Western Allies in exchange for cooperation. Most prominently, Reinhard Gehlen, the founder of West Germany's foreign intelligence service, welcomed SS operatives into the fold. This shortsighted decision nearly brought his cherished service down, as the KGB found his Nazi operatives easy to turn, while judiciously exposing them to threaten the very legitimacy of the Bonn Government. However, Gehlen was hardly alone in the excessive importance he placed on the supposed capabilities of former Nazi agents; his American sponsors did much the same in the early years of the Cold War. Other Nazi fugitives became freelance arms traffickers, spies, and covert operators, playing a crucial role in the clandestine struggle between the superpowers. From posh German restaurants, smuggler-infested Yugoslav ports, Damascene safehouses, Egyptian country clubs, and fascist holdouts in Franco's Spain, Nazi spies created a chaotic network of influence and information. This network was tapped by both America and the USSR, as well as by the West German, French, and Israeli secret services. Indeed, just as Gehlen and his U.S sponsors attached excessive importance to Nazi agents, so too did almost all other state and non-state actors, adding a combustible ingredient to the Cold War covert struggle. Shrouded in government secrecy, clouded by myths and propaganda, the tangled and often paradoxical tale of these Nazi fugitives and operatives has never been properly told--until now."--Amazon.com |

Yet many slipped away to the four corners of the world or were shielded by the Western Allies in exchange for cooperation. Most prominently, Reinhard Gehlen, the founder of West Germany's foreign intelligence service, welcomed SS operatives into the fold. This shortsighted decision nearly brought his cherished service down, as the KGB found his Nazi operatives easy to turn, while judiciously exposing them to threaten the very legitimacy of the Bonn Government. However, Gehlen was hardly alone in the excessive importance he placed on the supposed capabilities of former Nazi agents; his American sponsors did much the same in the early years of the Cold War. Other Nazi fugitives became freelance arms traffickers, spies, and covert operators, playing a crucial role in the clandestine struggle between the superpowers. From posh German restaurants, smuggler-infested Yugoslav ports, Damascene safehouses, Egyptian country clubs, and fascist holdouts in Franco's Spain, Nazi spies created a chaotic network of influence and information. This network was tapped by both America and the USSR, as well as by the West German, French, and Israeli secret services. Indeed, just as Gehlen and his U.S sponsors attached excessive importance to Nazi agents, so too did almost all other state and non-state actors, adding a combustible ingredient to the Cold War covert struggle. Shrouded in government secrecy, clouded by myths and propaganda, the tangled and often paradoxical tale of these Nazi fugitives and operatives has never been properly told--until now."--Amazon.com Gehlen, Reinhard 1902-1979 (DE-588)118538098 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland Bundesrepublik Bundesnachrichtendienst (DE-588)2130509-2 gnd rswk-swf Sowjetunion Komitet Gosudarstvennoj Bezopasnosti (DE-588)2101272-6 gnd rswk-swf SS (DE-588)10162246-6 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 gnd rswk-swf Mitarbeiter (DE-588)4120744-0 gnd rswk-swf Geheimdienst (DE-588)4019737-2 gnd rswk-swf Nationalsozialist (DE-588)4126114-8 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Intelligence service / History / 20th century Cold War / Secret service Nazis / Germany / History / 20th century War criminals / Germany / History / 20th century German mercenaries / History / 20th century Service des renseignements / Histoire / 20e siècle Guerre froide / Service secret Nazis / Allemagne / Histoire / 20e siècle German mercenaries Intelligence service Nazis Secret service War criminals Germany 1900-1999 History Gehlen, Reinhard 1902-1979 (DE-588)118538098 p Deutschland Bundesrepublik Bundesnachrichtendienst (DE-588)2130509-2 b Sowjetunion Komitet Gosudarstvennoj Bezopasnosti (DE-588)2101272-6 b USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Geheimdienst (DE-588)4019737-2 s SS (DE-588)10162246-6 b Nationalsozialist (DE-588)4126114-8 s Mitarbeiter (DE-588)4120744-0 s Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 s Geschichte z DE-604 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033676330&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
