 CIA Admits Long Relationship With WWII German Gen. Reinhard Gehlen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Gehlen was Hitler's senior intelligence officer on the Eastern Front during the war and transferred his expertise and contacts to the U.S. as World War II reached its climax.
While Gehlen's relationship with U.S. intelligence during the 1940s and 1950s has been the topic of some five books over the years, the eventual release of CIA documents pertaining to the development of his European spy ring could shed new light on the origins of the Cold War and early U.S. espionage efforts against Moscow.
Gehlen's network of agents in Europe - including many with Nazi backgrounds who were bailed out of prisoner of war camps by U.S. intelligence officers - was known as the Gehlen Organization and received millions of dollars in funding from the U.S. until 1956.

 The Consortium
Gehlen oversaw all of Germany's military-intelligence capabilities throughout Eastern Europe and the U.S.S.R. As the war drew to a close, the crafty Gehlen surmised that the grand anti-fascist coalition -- led by the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union -- would not survive the peace.
Gehlen also recognized that U.S. intelligence operations, largely an anti-Nazi improvisation, would be ill-prepared to wage a sustained shadow struggle against the U.S.S.R. So, at war's end, Gehlen opted to surrender to the Americans.
While Gehlen catered to his sponsor's anti-communist cravings, his Org became the life raft for legions of Hitler's SS henchmen to escape their World War II crimes and resettle safely in the post-war world, much as the Nazi ODESSA scheme had envisioned.

Gehlen returned to West Germany in the summer of 1946 with a mandate to rebuild his espionage organization and resume spying on the East at the behest of American intelligence.
Gehlen's disinformation strategy was based on a simple premise: the colder the Cold War got, the more political space for Hitler's heirs to maneuver.
Gehlen's habit of employing compromised ex-Nazis –; and the CIA's willingness to sanction this practice – enabled the USSR to penetrate West Germany's secret service by flmailing numerous agents.
