The lines from Hitler’s security chief to the Nazi networks in today’s Ukraine

To understand the long lines of US policy in Eastern Europe in general and Ukraine in particular, it is necessary to go back to the end of the Second World War. The key figure here turned out to be Reinhard Gehlen who in 1942 was appointed by Hitler as head of Fremde Heere Ost (FHO), which was a military intelligence organization dedicated to penetrating Russian lines as the Third Reich dominated Europe.

An ardent anti-communist, Gehlen threw himself into the work with great enthusiasm and produced key reports that led to Germany’s early successes in putting the Soviet Union on the defensive.

Gehlen created an extensive network of agents in Eastern Europe, and when he saw that Germany was going to lose the war, he prepared to go over to the Americans.

According to his 1972 memoir, The Service, just days before the Allies moved into Germany, Gehlen and his devoted officers buried 52 steel drums packed with microfilm containing the results of six years of espionage work.

He then ordered his men to wait for his signal and quietly surrendered to United States troops.

After talks with high-ranking American officers, Reinhard Gehlen brokered an agreement with the Americans in which he was allowed to drop charges of war crimes in return for making his agent network available to the United States.

At the end of 1946, the US Army gave Gehlen funds to build the so-called Gehlen Organization, or “Org”, which Gehlen filled with 350 ex-Nazi officers, some of whom were considered war criminals, and struck a deal with them who protected him from prosecution for war crimes in exchange for gathering intelligence on the Soviet Union for the United States.

Gehlen Organization or Org

Wikipedia writes:

The Gehlen Organization or Gehlen Org (commonly referred to as The Org) was an intelligence agency established in June 1946 by American occupation authorities in the US zone of post-war occupied Germany, and consisted of former members of the 12th Department of the German Army’s General Staff (Fremde Heere Cheese, or FHO). It was led by Reinhard Gehlen who had previously been a major general in the Wehrmacht and head of Nazi German military intelligence on the Eastern Front during World War II.

The agency was a forerunner of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND or Federal Intelligence Service) which was formed in 1956.

After World War II, Reinhard Gehlen acted under the guidance of the US Army G-2 (intelligence), but he wanted to establish direct cooperation with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In 1947, in alliance with the CIA, the military orientation of the organization turned increasingly towards political, economic and technical espionage against the Eastern Bloc, and the nickname “Pullach” became synonymous with secret service intrigue.

According to one report, the organization was for many years “the only eyes and ears of the CIA on the ground in the Soviet bloc nations” during the Cold War. The CIA kept a close eye on the Gehlen group: Org supplied the manpower while the CIA provided material needs for covert operations, including funding, cars and planes.

So: Gehlen’s Nazi network created and was the CIA’s network in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The same Nazi group created the German intelligence service Bundesnachrichtendienst, who have been active in many color revolutions and not least during the Maidan in Ukraine in 2014.

Org had close contacts with Eastern European emigrant organisations. Unknown tasks, such as observations of the operation of Soviet railway systems, airfields and ports were as important as infiltration of the Baltic states using former Kriegsmarine E-boats, manned by German crews and led by Lieutenant-Commander Hans-Helmut Klose. Another mission of the Gehlen Organization was Operation Rusty, which carried out counterintelligence activities targeting German dissident organizations in Europe.

And the lines of today’s Ukraine are obvious. Did Gehlen work with the OUN and Stepan Bandera? Of course he did. Today, these war criminals are national heroes in Ukraine. Gehlen’s Nazi network and its descendants can now stand up and receive applause in the West, including in Norway.

Org was coordinated with the British secret Operation Jungle.

Operation Jungle was a program of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) early in the Cold War from 1949 to 1955 to covertly insert intelligence and resistance agents into Poland and the Baltic states. The agents were mostly Polish, Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian exiles who had been trained in Britain and Sweden and were to link up with the anti-Soviet resistance against the communist governments.

On April 1, 1956, 11 years after the end of World War II, the US government and the CIA formally transferred the Gehlen Organization to the authorities of what was then the Federal Republic of Germany, under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (1949–63). With the help of this transfer of geopolitical sponsorship, the anti-communist Gehlen organization became the core of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND, Federal Intelligence Service).

Gehlen was president of the BND as an espionage service until his resignation in 1968.

Gehlen was a member of Sovrano Militare Ordine Hospitaliero di San Giovanni di Gerusalemme, di Rodi e di Malta, or the Order of Malta and had their passports. The Order of Malta has diplomatic status and maintains diplomatic relations with 113 states.

according to Reuters the order has been very active in its support for Ukraine.

To summarize:

Without Gehlen and his Nazi network, the CIA would have been far weaker in Eastern Europe, and it is this network that has prepared and recruited agents for the extensive minor warp work the CIA has carried out in advance of the color revolution.

It is not the case that the collaboration between the US/NATO and the Nazis in the Azov Battalion and other Nazi groups is a coincidence. It is a direct continuation of the Nazis’ war against Russia’s predecessor the Soviet Union since 1941, only since 1945 taken over by the Americans and US-controlled Germany.
