F.1 Background research material, largely photostats of material
in Gehlen’s own files. There is information on personnel, radio
activity, ‘deceptive activities’, and intelligence organization.
Original photostats, some very faint, retained in envelopes; Xerox copies
emphasize contrasts:
Funkspiele, for1944. Table of Contents, with alterations.
Roster of radio operators for1944 includes location, code
name and age of operator, and the destination of the broadcast.
Numbered (by Cookridge) series of documents, with descriptions
in English (by Cookridge). All documents were from Gehlen’s own
files, and are numbered “1” to “16”. Cookridge’s
summary list is included. Most relate to the deterioration of Germany’s
chances of winning the War, largely because of Hitler’s refusal
to take the advice of his generals. Original photostats in envelopes.
F.2 Background research material, from Gehlen’s own files,
and other sources:
Hitler’s (1945) plans for an operation behind Soviet
lines: “Operation Scherhorn”.
Notices from Feb. 22, 24/’45 to Obersts Weber,
Hoyer, respectively.
Typical monthly report from Gehlen to the German High Command.
Cookridge says the March 5, 1945 report is "one of the last".
Telegrams from Gehlen, 28 March, 1945, complaining about
SS units’ failure to destroy rail and road bridges as he had ordered.
Report of a murder committed by one of the Nazi staff sergeants
in Byelorussia.
Hitler’s Jan 21, 1945 telegram to Gehlen removing
all "deception and sabotage matters" from Gehlen’s department,
and transferring them to Himmler and Goering. Cookridge’s notes
amplify the description in 12-1 of the documents concerned. In essence,
Gehlen’s analyses of intelligence information, troop strength,
and predictions were invariably accurate, and he was certain by 1944
that Germany could not win the war. Gehlen’s colleagues accepted
his word as "gospel truth"; Hitler did not want to know the
real situation, especially in1945, so he "fired" Gehlen.
Notes on available folders of German intelligence and security
organization.
Gehlen’s "201" file, containing biographical
information and a summary of important events in his career as a Nazi.
Organizational chart of Gehlen’s staff, with photographs,
and additional notes by Cookridge.

staff published in Der Spiegel 55:3, August 25, 1954. Additional

as much as possible, they have been reunited. The more frequently used
pseudonyms each have a separate file. Where articles and typescripts
were collated under a "topic", e.g. "pets", the
original order has been maintained.

F.40 British Secret Service: Sikorski; Dr. Thorne’s Case (1970-72).

and a deposition for the High Court as plaintiff against the publishing
companies A. Deutsch Ltd., and Penguin Books, Ltd; he had assumed immediately,
and with no provided evidence, that Sikorski’s death was murder.
Cookridge had sent some of Thorne’s material to his lawyers (Rubenstein,
Nash & Co.) to determine whether he could publish it legally. Mr.
Rubenstein replied, noting that nothing in the communication was marked
‘confidential’; he also noted that he was the lawyer for the
publishers in the complaint. In an abusive personal letter to Cookridge,
Thorne accuses him of being in the pocket of MI 5. There is an essay
by Thorne, as well, entitled “The British Ordensstaat, or, The
System of Establishmentocracy,” pp 20-25 of some larger document.
