This is the first authoritative account of the postwar relationship between General Reinhard Gehlen, a figure unique in the history of espionage, and American intelligence. Eleven years after the defeat of Germany, Gehlen, Hitler's chief of eastern front intelligence, became head of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) for the democratic West German government of Konrad Adenauer. The core of his staff in the BND were the same officers who had served with him under Hitler. The instruments for this metamorphosis were agencies of Gehlen's former enemy: U.S. Army Intelligence and the CIA. How did this happen and why? Was there a Nazi connection? This book answers these questions in detail, combining the elements of a gripping novel of espionage with solid scholarship based on U.S. government documents and interviews with former G-2, CIC and CIA officers.

Unread book in perfect condition.

So startling and dramatic are these memoirs, the entire history of World War II will have to be rewritten because of them. Gehlen's revelations cannot fail to embarrass governments, cast doubts on famous leaders and causes, frighteningly underscore the fantastic power of espionage in world affairs. The Service is the memoir of General Reinhard Gehlen, legendary spymaster-in-chief, Hitler's head of military espionage in Russia who, as the war ended, transferred his mammoth files and network of spies to the service of the United States, ultimately to become chief of the official West German intelligence agency.

Behind the backs of Himmler's Gestapo, Heydrich's SD, and Gehlen's Fremde Heere, officers of the Abwehr, the German military intelligence organization of Admiral Wilhelm Franz Canaris, plotted Nazi downfall. Here is the story of that incredible intrigue, with the names and the minute details supplied by sources inside the intelligence community who have had, until now, their own reasons for not revealing them.

Dieses Buch ist ein Klassiker der philosophischen Anthropologie und Arnold Gehlens wichtigstes Buch. Es fasst Gehlens Modell vom Menschen als eines auf Handlung und kulturelle Kompensation angewiesenen und sich damit eigentatig von der ihn bedrohenden Umwelt entlastenden "Mangelwesens" gultig zusammen. Auch wurde in "Der Mensch" 1950 erstmals Gehlens Institutionenlehre skizziert, die er aus der Revision seiner ursprunglichen Theorie "oberster Fuhrungssysteme" entwickelte. Gehlens Hauptwerk war "ohne Zweifel der fortgeschrittenste Versuch, die Philosophische Anthropologie an die Erkenntnisse empirischer Disziplinen zu binden" (FAZ). Diese Ausgabe bringt die textkritische Edition der Kritischen Gesamtausgabe mit dem Text der 4. Auflage von 1950, der die letzte tiefgreifende Umarbeitung darstellt, die Gehlen an dem erstmals 1940 erschienenen Text vornahm.

Am 1. April 1956 wurde der Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) gegrundet. Hervorgegangen war er aus der Organisation Gehlen, die gleich nach Kriegsende unter US-amerikanischer Kontrolle entstanden war und ihr Personal uberwiegend aus hochrangigen ehemaligen Wehrmachtsangehorigen bezog. Wer den heutigen BND verstehen mochte, muss in seine Grundungsphase zuruckblicken. Neben der BND-Vorlauferorganisation auf westlicher steht das Ministerium fur Staatssicherheit auf ostlicher Seite im Mittelpunkt dieser Publikation. Der Band vereint Essays ausgewiesener Wissenschaftler und Geheimdienstexperten zu diesem Thema, darunter Beitrage von Autorinnen und Autoren der Unabhangigen Historikerkommission zur Erforschung der Geschichte des Bundesnachrichtendienstes 19451968 (UHK) und der BND-internen Forschungsgruppe Geschichte des BND.

The General Staff Division of Fremde Heere Ost (Military Intelligence Service, Eastern Section) which from 1942 was led by Reinhard Gehlen, was the nerve center of Hitler's military reconnaissance on the Eastern Front. This department worked professionally and was operationally and tactically reliable. However, at a strategic level there were clear deficits: the industrial capacity of the Soviet arms industry, the politico-military intentions and the details of the Red Army's plans for their offensive remained for the most part hidden from the department. When the Second World War ended, Gehlen put the documents and personnel of Fremde Heere Ost at the disposal of the Americans. With their support he was able to build a new foreign secret service which later evolved into the Federal Intelligence Service. In this book, military historian Magnus Pahl presents a complete overview of the structure, personnel and working methods of Fremde Heere Ost based on a tremendous array of archival sources. This work includes an extensive case study of the East Pomeranian Operation 1945. Pahl's study is a significant contribution to our understanding of German strategic, operational and tactical thinking on the Eastern Front 1941-45.
