At the seine time he recognized the insincere' game Germanywas -playing with France. Having lived in France end knowing the mentality of theFrench, he suddenly lemented their short-sightedness in ;pet perceiving how Germanywas ding them He felt obligated to his firncee and to his conscience to make'amend and decided t shed his affiliAtions with the GIS and the • SS.

Hia first chance came in Februery 1945 while be was Ant vi tepntyin SAN RENO, ItalY ., when a French agent by the Jenne of SOLETTI . was arrested bythe Germans on the Franco-Italian border. SOMR succeeded in' having SOLETTIreleased in his custody and dispatched him to NICE with a iew-to esteblishingrelations for him (SOMMER) with the Dduxieme Bureau.. Because of. the interveningcollaose'of the Italian front, nothing further cPme of this connection. • •

SOnER received no schooling on the'present teuxieme Bureau and its methods, but was told to.go.ahea.d. and operate onthe' basis of his many yeart' experience as an Abwehr °Moat.. It was understoodthaV .SOI •tME was not to•be a paid agent, but he did receive 20;000 pesetas fromLEON as expense'neney. According to:SONEtR,shis motives for joining the D'euxiemeBureati were personal and not monetary;

'LEON informed SOWER that he .could be reached through l'aulita ALTWIEt, 4Cane Viliadornat, BARCELONAi all the letters sent through"this madras's were tobear the' signature • 'lluann , but no replies would be sent to SOtgiIR. On 10 Aug45 LEON drove SOilfc.f• down 'to the border town of PUIGCEBILL, at which point he'was . to enter Spain.

LEON, counting on the inefficiency of the Spanish Government, believedthat SOMhMR, as a former intelligence officer, would encounter no difficUltywhatsoever in Spain and should therefore be able to report back to PLBP1GNANwith th4 hesired information within six weeks, LBON I a miscalculation, h6weVer,resulted in the arrest and detention of SOMMER by the Spanish at Camp ::Cirandafrom August 1945 Until February .1946. It was' relatively easy for. SONSR to sendletters to LEON through ALTUVEZ, because many peo ple entered and left the campwithon-t.being Searchad:-. •

When SOITIR was finally released. from camp , he 'went to MADRID to carryou't the long-delayed mission for the Leuxieme Bureau.

'7hile in ,BA;LUONA, HtVROD .had already succeeded'in establishing‘contabtwith a commissaire (name UREIViirof the Seturite Nilitrire who was to be trans-ferred from EABSZIIIZ to PARIS. This commissaire offered to collaborate formoney. VICENTE apnroved the spending of this money and when SOlaaR was arrested,EPPED had just come from BARC3IONA.to close the deal: HEIRARD brought SOMER.together with vrcWt end an agreement was worked out whereby sorm should goto France. 'It '-'as planned to have him go through Switzerland. SORZiER's ideawas to set up radio stations with trained Tersonnel and work together with theDeuxieme Bureau, thereby assuring the cpntrol of the whole net, while at thesame time ostensibly collaborating with, tht Sanish; 'Len the wireless net wasin operation, SOZINER was to inform V/CEPTB on the following matters:

. 1.1 :rench tron- concentrrtions on the Yr nch-S'r nish bordPr fro m O. D...Ati'ktn the • diterrancan,,

2. The uncovering and removal of Spanish Loya110.eArMs'Ii6W.Walet-JTA--""oeFrance.

•3. Establishment of contoct with French anti-CoMmunist elements not sefis-

fiedwith the present French regime.

Another plan of VICENT: I s was to have e strong organization in Notth Africafostering unrest among the Arabs against the French. He wanted ouick resultsin order to justify his brain-cnild and its large expenditures to FRANCO.

SO'liR never had e chance to return to France end see LEON and MICHELagain. Before he was arrested and brougnt to Germrny, be wrote them one:letterthrough the aarcelona address advising them of his work. He also claims thatno one in Spain knew of his connectionr . with the Deuxieme Bureau and that heenjoyed the full confidence of VICENTE. Owing to the short time SM -.12 was inSpain, he had no chonca to learn the identity of VICENT3's other German cellab-orators. VICENTE WS known to prepare a monthly progress report of his findings,'whichOent to FRANCO Ps a secret report. Shortly before SO'VelVs arrest, he hadn glimpse of one of these rvlorts.

e. The Teparturc of Former GIS Officers from Spain to Argentina -

SOifriF:R was interrogated on the above subject, but in view of the fact thathis stay and associations with verious groups in Spain were limited to a. fewweeks, his information is s_etchy.

SON'erES did not Oabout the departure of these former Abwehr Officers

until.he went to' • oARCHER in liADRID,. during the latter part of 1945.

HORCHER is a well-known restaurateur, part-owner of the famed Cabaret Nexime inPARIS. He was active in thq Abwehr for many years and was later employed byAmt VI. In 1944 Amt VI plann4d to open . st new restaurant in CANNES, along thesame lines as ;:axime's, managed by NORCHER, which was to have been used as anintelligence gathering ngoncy: The Hotel !iertinez Has being considered for thethe purpose. "hile in Southern France SOMMER was introduced to HORCHER inMARSEILLE and was told to make the necessary arrangements. The Hotel Martinezwas owned by an Italian of that name, who worked for the Italian Intelligence-Service until 1943, '.'hen he switched over to the GIS. SOM•IR last saw muzuzzin HILAN in the latter part of.Februory 1545. He is believed to be in Switzerlond at the present tiff's. Nothing ever developed in connection with this propos-ed deal between HORCEER and KARTINEZ, so_HORCHER went to NADRLD and opened a.rest a urant there situ:At:el at iS Celia Alfonso XII and it ie now A:randezvous forAxis Intellipnce personnel.

*to the effect that MCAT, by . order of the German Foreign Office, was to sound out•the Allies on the possibilities of a separate peace. Now, however, SOMMEE isconvinced that ESCAT's true mission was an entirely different one, possibly thatof financing, the Germans who were . alre'edy in Spain and those who would have tohide there in the future. ESCA2 had allegedly received largo sums of money-inBERLIN for just that purpose.

this was his first meeting with /SCAT end it might have raised doubts and stispicTions. After the'conversation ESCAT questioned VOINEAU on SO:Mktg' reliabilitYi.which VOIBLAU assured him to be '100%. . .

pommER had arrlInged another meeting with ESCAT for the oming week, ut inthe meantime he received a letter from an Abwehr 'agent, H MARMARTIN. He was active in FIGUERAS as a German agent unt March 1945, at Wiich .time he became the German Red Cos representative. At the end. of 1945 he waswarned by his Spanish friends to go into hiding, because the Allies wanted to;xtradite him. He hid in BARCILONA and presumably remaned there, since.

At the second meetihg with ESCAT about 10Apr 46, there was talk about hid-ing the German officers, especially Gen Xhi'lgER,_ who,. betrayed by a German, MO.just managed to be brought from his hiding place in MADRID to the rural estateof a Spanish officer. It was mentioned that all those Germans who gave theAmerican authorities infOimation were known to these men in hiding and to theSpanish and were listed on a black list. It was further stated that propermeasures had be,eniteken end that the situation could be regarded as safe. Theproblem of Argatina was not touched upon that night, because the meeting tookplace in a much-fre puented locale and had to be brief.

It is SOMMER's opinion thatbecause of their Fascist-minded political outlook, thoir knowledge of theItalian language, and connections gained through their relatives, the continuedpresence of these men in Italy constitutes a perpotual hazard to an orderlypeace.

It was' not possible at tale Center to check the veracity of hisinformation. Even now, Although in possession of the French data on SOMMER, whichhardly differs ut all from our version' on the general intel1igen8e A spect, el4'though it shows discrepancies in SOKHER i s rtel ether:pre-GIS diltp, it should be borne in mind that he still maybe withelding information'from us.

nhen SotiMM joined the Dauxieme Bureau, he revealed his family name, butet CIE 76, allegedly because of harsh treatment, he decided to withold the truth.At this Center, in seite of self-admitted satisfaction with the treatment, hestill ' concoaled•the true facts.

pE STORY OF S.1070beANDeBE0.1.

SS-0/Stuf SOMER, Hans Si) man in Frence and Italy

SOMMER's version of this story probebly CIOGS not differ greatly from thefacts already known, but considering that Dr FISCHER himself related the entire

.et to SOWER, i -er.2110,21Tps add e&nformetion, however small, to the historyof this 1 apping. ,

When SONMER eame to PARIS , in July 1940, one of the four agents under h#in Amt VI was DT FISCHER, a man' about 50 years old., whose appointment to theParis office of Amt VI was not, so much a recognition of his talent, as a reward

FISCHER for his conscientiousness.

' FISCHER was the editor of a Catholic paper in Germany until 1933 when,reediting the anti-Catholic tendencies of the liSIIAReehaelefteaermanere-arelesgetledin France. In the nart few years his emigre life tO(51Ms.to'Miiny'CieretieTrireengt4..before he finally reached Holland in-193 g . At this time. homesickness overtookhiM and * ha decided to return to Germany. Not knowing what kind of reception hemight encounter there alter his voluntary exile of many years, FISCHER thought,it necassary to de some serviceibr his country, thereby assuring his re-entryinto Germany.

Be concocted e fantastic story about an underground movement in Germanyand presented it to STEVENS . end BEST, the leaders of the British IntelligenteService for Ilestern Europe, in THE HAGUE, Holland, FISCHER proved to them thathe wet an anti-Nazi by having been away from Germany eince 1931 and after gainingtheir confidence proceeded to draw a picture of a wide novement embracing peoplefem all walks of life. STEVENS' and BEET, sensing something big, apparentlys4elbewade4e,e-stSey -and-gaze eperafional . directions to FISCLER, who simply wroteaeletter to the ND office in BERLIN explaining the whole matter and asking theirhelei in making the hoax look like the real thing. A certain CHRISTENSENsent to Holland by the ND with a list of alleged personalities engaged ih theunderground movement (most of them were fictitous, but some real names of highereehrmacht and Party peoele were included, in order not to arouse sus p icion inSTEVENS end BEST). FISCHER introduced.CHRISTENSEN as one of the leaders of themovement and in the ensuing conversation it wad *decided to establish direct radiocontAce between BERLIN and THE HAGUE for ouick communication. A radio stationwas rut in operation by the ND and a diseuised officer was sent to BERLIN incharge of the station. He was arrested and forced to transmit material handedto him by the GIS. In the beantime, German intelligence agents made freouenttrips to Hollane end consulted with STEVENS and BEST. The agents always present-ed themselves as Yehrmacht officers of the underground movement, while trying toobtain information from the British which they.could use to their advantage. .SEVENS-andlEST still suspected nothing, The GIS played a cagey game end soonsuggested that they might Meet some high leaders of the movement at the bordertown of VENIO, because the continuous flow of people between Germany and Hollandbight become surcicious and could easily jeopardize the success of the movement.Unsuspecting, STEVENS and BEST traveled to VENEO, lettere in a designated bouie,

they verbearrested by German troops and taken to Germany.

The Netnarlen s General Staff knew about the contact STEVENS and BEST . hed •with the bogus German un erground movement end, while not opposing it, they .viewed the negotiations with scepticism. When this. meeting took place at VENIO,the Netherlands General Staff, .suspected foul play, dispatchad some troops eo thebordei i.but events moved too rapidly for them to go into aCtion and prevent thoarrest and removal of the two men.

SOI.e.TER claims that STEVENS end BEST subeeouently geve the GIS a thorciugh endprecise picture of the entire British InteIligenoe\set-up.
