“It was important for our plan that we should not be captured too soon. We had to bear in mind that despite the Americans' reluctance to climb into the mountains, they might still institute a search for us. On the other hand we did not expect any search during the hours of darkness.”
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.
