10 INTRODUCTION: When =was in Munich on 7May, he mentioned to 4Dr0-KIAUSNER that he was familiar with onlytwo or three Soviet cases involving UPSWING but assumed thatthere must be More. @Dr. KLAUSNER indicated that this was so andmentioned as an example their Fall PAN-OPTIMAL' (Addresseesplease note that we will hereafter use the KUBARK cry ptonYMUj-BUTLET(see Identity one).) E:: :=J Quite understandably, ex-pressed his ignorance of this case. @Dr. KLAUSNER, in front of

said there was no reason why this could note discussed between a member of MB/LD/CE and AKUTZBACH, the UP-SWING Headquarters' desk officer who is handling the case. Notlong before this meeting with UPSWING, MBAD was considering howbest to re-open conversations on the case, which, as . a matter offact, was known to us in very general form as early as August1956. However, for reasons not explicitly known to us butprobably as outlined in paragraph 3 belowl_we had heard nothingmore about it after 1956. Our problem asto how to re-open thematter was now easily resolved.

2. At a meeting with @KUTZBACH on 16 May, the undersignedreferred to the above remarks and said he would appreciate abriefing on the case. After the UPSWINGer recovered from momen-tary shock he said he.would comply with our request but unfortu-nately he had few details in mind and would have to check his -files at his office before giving us an account (our meeting wasat the MB/LD liaison House). Apparently, @Dr. KIAUMER had nottold @KUTZBACH to expect KUBARK queries about the Case. Afterassuring the latter that we understood @Dr. KLAUSNER's offer todiscuss the case ad been made in the light of b pi. dqx eApperaticn

between our two organizations, the undersigned was given a fair-ly comprehensive presentation, studded with not a few specific

.details.

3. BACKGROUND TO CURRENT DISCUSSION OP TAR OPERATION ANDINFORMATION CONCERNING THE AGENT: r- . laield twoconversations with @RISCHKE on the subject of UJNUTUET in August1956. These are reported in Memoranda for the Record . dated 14August and 21 August 1956. Copies of these memoranda were for-warded to Headquarters. Although, as previously said, we do notknow exactly why there were no further discussions on the.subjectbetween 1:1 I and ORISCHKE, it is probable that ORISCHKE wastold not to discuss the case with a KuBARKer. As a matter ofdirect concern to UPSWING . only, it probably fell into that cate-gory of cases UPSWING specifically wished to keep from us. Itwill be remembered that Ul'S li7ING had been "legal" only for a fewmonths at this juncture; so there was little or-no ground on whichCI :3 could have "required" additional briefings, least of allfrom @RISCHKE who was soon to be removed almost entirely from con-tact with KUBARKers. Apparently as a result of new assignmentsgiven @RISCHKE, the handling of the case was transferred to @RONICKEaccording to @KUTZBACH. This came as something of a surprise to usfOr we did not know that @RONICKE had had any responsibilitiesother than the preparation and general processing of build-up'material. @RONICKEHwent on to other duties (unknown) approximatelySeptember 1957. @KUTZBACH was then put in charge. This is an in-teresting development to note since as far as we know, he never be-fore dealt with Soviet CE matters. @KUTZBACH handles severalHungarian cases, Czech cases, one MfS case, and now at least oneRIS case.

4. So that all addressees will know what had earlier beenlearned about UJNUTUIT, there are cited below the flniemorandaof his conversations with ORISCHKE. All of this information was al-so given to the undersigned by @KUTZBACH with the additional de-tails cited in paragraph 5.

A0 MEMORANDUM OF 14 AUGUST 1956:

I then mentioned UJNUTLET. @RISCHKE stated that thiswas a different matter, that UJNUTLET had an RIS mission againstUPSWING, had been developed by them, and they were now trying toplace him in touch with a Scheinnetz; i.e., a fabricated UPSWINGintelligence net which UJNUTLET could use as build-up material toreport to the RIS. @RISCHKE explained that the difficulty existedin the fact that UJNUTLET knew so many people and was at presentin the Munich area I agreed and said I hoped they would be ableto tie him into a Scheinnetz away from Munich, In the middle of

our discussion about UJN(JTLET, @RISCHKE suddenly interruped himselfsince he realized that he had never discussed UJNUTLET with me be-fore. He asked, "Have we discussed UJNUTLET before?" I said "no".Then he asked h,1 t 4 how do you know about him?". I said I did notknow of his RThrio-FITaat he had been turned by UPSWING, but knew ofhis return and had even seen Some Eastern Press stories regardinghim and had naturally wondered whether he, like many returnees ofthis type, would have an RIS mission. @RISCHKE was agAin somewhatuneasy dnd wondered whether under the new agreement [::

-1Comment: He meant after legalization.) it was really proper forhini-Io brief me on cases of this type. I said that I should hope soand thought that the significant data of double agent operationswould be something that we might profitably exchange, since we haanoted on several cases (such as LENA; for instance) that both ser-vices might profit by such exchanges, etc., etc. @RISCHKE noddedand said "Yes, yes V in his superficial and rather phoney manner, andthe conversation ended.

B. MEMORANDUM OF 21 AUGUST 1956:

@RISCHKE then talked about the UJNUTLET case. Thiscase has the UPSWING cryptonym ITANOPTIKUM". UJNUTLET theagent himself) has the UPSWINGcryptOnyM' : "FINKENZELLER". This case,@RISCHKE explained, UPSWING had received from the Bavarian LfVpresident, Martin RIEDMAYR. In the early days before 1933, RIEDMAYRhad been the superior of VJNUTLET , in the police service. UJNUTLEThad struck RIEDMAYR as an intelligent, energetic and ambitious youngman. At RIEDMAYR's suggestion, UjNUTLET-had studied, passed his"Abitur" and the required law examinations to qualify for biggerthings within the police. After the Nazis took over, UJNUTLET'sfeat of being able to bone up on all this learning on his own hadcome to the attention of the new powers-to-be and they called thispromising young man to Berlin. After UJNUTLET'returned from Sovietcaptivity, he looked up his old friend, RIEDMAYR, confessed his RISmission to him, and RIEDMAYR'then turned UJNUTLET and the entire Caseover to UPSWING.

UJNUTLET now has the problem of being involved insome war crimes action which he had carried out or approved on the or-ders of Reinhard HEYDRICH, for which he is afraid he may now have toface trial. This is something in which UPSWING feels they can help himlittle, except possibly that he gets a good lawyer. My comment wasthat in many such cases, no action whatever has taken place sincethere was no one to push the prosecution. UJNUTLET is consideredan interesting and promising RIS Agent by UPSWING. He is being met

periodically by a courier from East Berlin; @RISCHKE voiced thevague suspicion that this courier might be none other than thefamous Max KLAUSEN of the SORGE case. Actually, I think @RISMEbases this hypothesis simply on the fact that this man is Aboutthe same age as KLAUSEN. @RISME gave me a photograph and askedme to check discreetly if this man could be identical with XIAMEN,.On the back of the photograph there - is a notation that it was takenon 28 May 1956 on the Isartor Platz.

UJNUTIEt'has Also received a S/W carbon system.. WhileUPSWING does not have„anexampleof.the actual carbon sheet,cl_cs have :examples -bf . a piece of paper on which some..of:th,e-chemi-69.1treatment has rubbed off; yet, se fary'the UPSWING lab - lias-been un-able to analyse this system.

56 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT- THE AGENT: @KUTZBACH statesthat UPSWING has a very good.impression of the. agent. He is .farabove average in intelligence and works industriously and imagina-tively. - As indicated in the above quoted memorandum, there is thethreat of court action against him in connection with war crimes.The agent discussed this with his HIS case officer last year and wastold, interestingly enough, not to worry about the matter becausethe RIS knew that the charges definitely would not be pressed. Justhow the HIS could be so sure leads to suggestive speculation. Atany rate, the RIS is correct: @KUTZBACH says that the charges arenot going to be pressed.

6. TARGETS: The agent was recruited by the RIS during his im-prisonment in the Soviet Union and released early in 1956 on condi-tion that he carry out an HIS mission. This is, as we understoodit, primarily the penetration of UPSWING plus reporting on politicalevents in the Federal Republic. He was given the names of two per-sons described by the HIS as members of UPSWING with whom he should ..make contact to cultivate and develop, either with a view towards 4.recruitment or with a view towards leading theagent to other UP-,SWINGere The names given him. were ( fnu ) LEHNERT and Rudolf *FUMye',(do 5 March 1900, pob Munich), both of,Dienststelle lf. Tfi7F-175-r-rmar was n -m. 6,-/ WING, the latter is still in hisjob. As indicated in I:: :=Lmemoranda, the agent contacted hisold friend and patron, RIMMAYR, shortly after his return from theSoviet Union. The case was then tried over to UPSWING. UPSWING didnot confirm to the agent that FUMY is a member of the organization,and the latter, who through normal social contact did see him fromtime to time was told to limit the frequency of the contact and

. gradually to break it off. Meanwhile, the agent became reacquaintedwith V-2982 (Identity 2) known to him before and during the war,though only casually. aUTZBACH reports that at the time of the re-contact between the two, V-2982 was a member of Dienststelle 24 in

SIECRIETEGMA-34599[(RI Page 5

Frankfurt. The agent, however, was not aware of this fact. In oneof his first re ports to the RIS, he was allowed to state that amonghis acquaintances was V-2982. The RIS responded immediately withthe warning that V-2982 was indeed an UPSWINGer and that the agentshould proceed very cautiously in developing his relationship withhim. The RIS could feel satisfied that a direct contact had thusbeen made with UPSWING, and from their instructions to the agent itbecame clear that they wanted him to use this relationship as anavenue for the penetration of UPSWING. In answer to the question asto how the RIS could be so sure that V-2982 is an UPSWINGerr.@KUTZ-BACH believes that since V-2982 was known to V-2600 (GALBERT), thisautomatically signalled him to the RIS.

7. Since V-2982 is the agent's primary target, and since he isalso the agent's UPSWING case officer, @KUTZBACH reports that V-2982has been detached from Dienstatelle 24 and has been established in aZweigstelle for the sole purpose of running this operation. (This*might seem to contradict, at last in part, some of our informationon V-2982, which reveals that he was employed in Zweigstelle e ofDienststelle 161(24) as of April 1955. This could have been "E matterof slottingl'however.)

8. The agent writes so-called political reports on a fairly fre-quent basis for the HIS. Although @KUTZBACH was not able to rememberthe name of the particular organization on which several reports havebeen submitted, he states that the agent attends meetings devoted todiscussions of "Eastern questions" and has become acquainted with

.many of the leading figures of the organization. Personality reportson these persons have been written and passed to the HIS. @KUTZBACH

c

ma able to remember that at least one of the people reported on isDr Hans EUWIRTH

,A-t/4-11-e tv,4-02-fr) Ve '7r-bw details are pr6sently . available as to what UPSWING's-

exact intentions are with regard to UJNUTTRT. For the moment theyare content to play the operation Very slowly and to build it up as a_major deception effort against the RIS. In this respect, they are de-

. veloping their plans for creating the Scheinnetz referred to in theC-I _Dmemoranda. Although exactly what is intended is by no means7Flear at this moment, CKUTZBACH said that a possibility is to dispatchV-2982 to various port cities such as Hamburg, Antwerp and Rotterdamfor the ostensible purpose of making clandestine meetings. V-2982will be instructed to report this to the HIS in the expectation thatsome response from the HIS will be evoked.

10. HIS CASE OFFICER: The agent has met his case officer onlyonce in the more than two years since the UJNUTLET operation began.@KUTZBACH has agreed to give us as much information as UPSWING has onthe man, and this will be forthcoming in the near future. Meanwhile,

DESEVIDI

SLLKLEGMA-34599Page 6

b7r,we know only that his name is HeqaAs ISKY (pob and dob unknown),that he almost certainly is member the KGB, that he spoke withthe agent in a a ..rs Compound building which apparently isidentical with the one 11-18268 of UJDROLLERY , 1500 has been in onvarious occasions. (There are no identifiable traces on MAISKY inMunich Base files; as soon as we receive more data from UPSWING ) wewill request KUBARK trades.)

11. COMMUNICATIONS: The RIS Uses two means of eoWmunicatingwith the agent.. One is via microdot, the other by courier. The'agent. has an'S/WfsyStem (seetl_ memorandum above) which he .Uses to inform the RIS when he has reports for transmittal viacourier. The RIS replies by microdot message in a letter with :a.West Berlin return address when and where to expect the courier.The courier appears at the appointed time and takes the reports fromthe agent. @KUTZBACH says that the courier has been dispatched about.8 times during the course of the operation. Meetings between agentand courier always take place at the arch entrance to the old Botani-cal Gardens, corner of Elisenstrasse and Sophienstrasse, Munich. Oneof the last RIS communications instructed the agent to come to EastBerlin on 13 June for a . meeting with-MkISKY. This was later can-celled, however, because the RIS indicated it was highly satisfiedwith the agent's progress in cultivating 11-2982 and the need for ameeting in East Berlin was not considered urgent at this time. Thelast time the agent requested that "Max", the courier, be dispatchedto him, he was'informed that the courier was in poor health due to abad heart condition and could not come to Munich at the desired time.The agent was told to write his reports in SA until a new couriersystem could be arranged, or until "Max" regains his health.

• ' 12. UPSWING still is playing with the suspicion that "Max" maybe identical with Max KLAUSEN. The photograph (attached for SR, COSand BOB) of the courier has been compared. with the photograph ofKIAUSEN.appearing in General Willoughby's book, but it seems doubt-ful that the two persons are identical. As further details on Max"become available, they will be reported.

13. We have asked @KUTZBACH for a description of the agent'sRIS case officer, the Karlshorst Compound safehouse used., Karlshorsttelephone number given the agent; a description, and if possible,samples of the S/W used in the operation, and the microdot. When wereceive answers to our pcequest, they will be forwarded to addresseesas appropriate*
