TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

  • Lockenour on Perrault, 'The Red Orchestra'
    H-German Lockenour on Perrault, 'The Red Orchestra' Review published on Tuesday, April 1, 1997 Gilles Perrault. The Red Orchestra. New York: Schocken Books, 1989. 494 pp. $12.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8052-0952-5. Reviewed by Jay B. Lockenour (Temple University) Published on H-German (April, 1997) "Soldiers of the 23rd Panzer Division, the Soviet Union salutes you. Your gay days in Paris are over now. Your comrades will already have warned you of what is happening here. Soon you will find out for yourselves." These words, blaring from loudspeakers just behind the Soviet lines, welcomed German troops to the Eastern Front. More damaging to German efforts, however, was the fact that the Soviet High Command seemed intimately acquainted with German offensive plans. During the German Operation Blue in 1942, Soviet armies always seemed to be in the right place, and when they retreated, it was always in the direction of OperationBlue 's objective, Stalingrad. The reasons for these successes may lie with the so-called Red Orchestra, the subject of the two books under review. ("Orchestra" is a common term for spy rings whose "pianists" [radio operators] play their "music" of coded messages.) The Red Orchestra, based in Paris and covering nearly all of German-occupied Europe, including Germany itself, was "conducted" by Leopold Trepper, a Polish Jew and the hero of both accounts, the first by Gilles Perrault and the second by V. E. Tarrant. Perrault's rendering is masterful, suspenseful, and reads like a thriller. Trepper and his associates were for years able to smuggle valuable information out of Germany.

  • Joseph Berger: the Comintern’S and Münzenberg’S Expert on Middle Eastern Affairs
    Joseph Berger: The Comintern’s and Münzenberg’s Expert on Middle Eastern Affairs von Mario Kessler Mario Kessler Joseph Berger: The Comintern’s and Münzenberg’s Expert on Middle Eastern Affairs1 Joseph Berger-Barzilai (original name Joseph Isaac Zilsnik, other form Zeliaznik), 1904– 1978, was founding member and secretary of the Communist Party of Palestine and who fell victim to Stalin’s purges.2 Berger-Barzilai was born in Cracow, Poland in 1904. In 1914, his family fled the Russian army which treathened to invade their city for Vienna, and moved in 1916 to Bielitz, Silesia. Young Joseph was brought up as an orthodox Jew and a Zionist, becoming active in the Zionist Wanderbund Blau-Weiß. He emigrated to Palestine at the age of 15 in 1919. There he worked first on road construction and then as a translator in an engenieering firm. During his life he spoke Yiddish, German, Polish, English, Hebrew, and Russian. Originally a member of the leftist Zionist organization Hashomer Hatzair, he became soon a communist, took part in the founding of one of the communist groups, the Communist Party of Palestine, in 1922, and became its secretary. It was then that he assumed the name Berger. Together with Wolf Averbukh, he was responsible for the unification of various left-wing groups that had broken with Zionism to the Palestiner Komunistishe Partey, the Palestine Communist Party, in 1923. The party had to operate under illegal conditions since the British Mandate Authority had outlawed all communist activities in May 1921. Berger became deputy secretary of the party that joined the Comintern in March 1924.3 For this mission, he was sent to Moscow.

  • Untitled, Undated Document, Rtskhldni, 533-6-317
    McKnight provides a superbly documented analysis of how the Communist International organized its clandestine activities and the guidelines for underground and covert political work that it laid out for Communist parties around the world. He provides as well case studies of Comintern conspiratorial activities and demonstrates how this covert work later overlapped with and contributed to Soviet foreign espionage undertakings. Students of both the Comintern and the various national Communist parties will have need of this book. John Earl Haynes, author of The Secret World of American Communism and Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America From the 1930s to the 1950s a significant number of left-wing men and women in the United States, Britain, Europe, Australia and Canada were recruited to the Soviet intelligence services. These people were amateurs rather than professional intelligence workers, and the reasons for their success is intriguing and has never been satisfactorily explained. Using recently released Soviet archives, this book seeks to explore the foundations for these successes in the deliberately concealed tradition of underground political activity which was part of the communist movement. This tradition, which became extremely useful to Soviet intelligence, also explains the origins of the 'tradecraft' of espionage. The book seeks to contribute to the study of the causes of the early Cold War, by explaining how this underground tradition led to espionage. This book shows that while allegations of disloyalty during the Cold War were often part of a witchhunt, the Left and their liberal allies sometimes unwittingly had a number of skeletons in their own closet. David McKnight has studied and written about espionage and politics for over 15 years.

  • Mémoires Du Chef De L'orchestre Rouge
    Enfin Léopold Trepper parle... Peu de témoignages auront été attendus, depuis des années, avec un intérêt aussi passionné. Léopold Trepper est d'abord pour l'Histoire le chef de l'Orchestre Rouge, l'un des réseaux de renseignement les plus importants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui apporta à la victoire des alliés une contribution dont l'adver- saire lui-même a reconnu la portée et la valeur. C'est dans la Pologne de sa jeunesse que Léopold Trepper découvre, au contact du prolétariat de la ville indus- trielle de Dombrova, dont il partage les luttes, l'ampleur de l'exploitation contre laquelle lutte la Révolution d'Octobre. Proche d'un mouvement communiste dans lequel il voit le seul moyen de régler le problème des mi- norités nationales juives, il part en militant pour la Palestine; là, il est confronté à une nouvelle forme d'ex- ploitation : le colonialisme. Arrêté, expulsé par les autorités anglaises, il arrive en France. Au milieu des Juifs immigrés, chassés par les pogroms tsaristes et le nazisme, le voilà de nouveau dans la lutte. Trepper est désigné par le parti communiste fran- çais pour aller parfaire à Moscou sa formation doctrinale. En passant par l'Allemagne, il découvre brutalement le fait hitlérien. Comprenant le danger qui menace, il entre dans les services de renseignement de l'Armée Rouge et rejoint les rangs des combattants de l'ombre, avant d'organiser en Bel- gique et en France un réseau redou- table qui est à l'écoute de la machine de guerre allemande. A Berlin, ses agents travaillent en plein cœur du Reich.

  • Joseph Berger: Communist Activist in Palestine and Victim of Stalinism (1904–1978) 161
    159 Mario Kessler links: Mario Kessler rechts: Joseph Berger: Communist Activist in Palestine Joseph Berger: and Victim of Stalinism (1904–1978) Communist Activist in Palestine and Victim of Stalinism (1904–1978) Abstract The Polish-born Joseph Berger took part in the founding of the Palestine Communist Party. The party had to operate under illegal conditions. Berger became deputy secretary of the party that joined the Comintern in March 1924. After the first Arab-Jewish civil war in August 1929 he became secretary of the party, but was, in 1930, expelled from the country by British mandate authorities. In Berlin he worked for the League against Imperialism. In 1932 he headed the Comintern’s Near Eastern Department in Moscow. In 1934 he was dismissed from his post and expelled from the party without any given reason. In January 1935 Berger was arrested and charged with being a Trotskyite agitator. He refused to “confess” and spent the next sixteen years in various Siberian labor camps. In 1951, he was released, only to be banished to life-long exile in Siberia. His wife and his son were also persecuted on his account, and they could see him only when they were allowed to visit him in Siberia. In 1956 Berger was officially rehabilitated and allowed to leave the Soviet Union for Poland. Soon the family decided to immigrate to Israel. Berger was invited to give lectures at Bar Ilan University. Later the university appointed him as an associate professor of political science. Berger had completely abandoned his com- munist faith and had become religious.

    25¢ WfJltNE/iSNo. 165 '''N'O''''8 July 1977 Rightist Reaction Pushes Anti-Homosexual Hy'steria More than a hundred thousand people demonstrated in San Francisco. They were protesting against the reac­ tionary anti-homosexual crusade of Anita Bryant, the fanatic Bible­ thumping bigot whb has proclaimed herself the nemesis ofdemocratic rights for homosexuals. Bryant's right-wing rampage is obscene and dangerous. Outraged "gay rights" activists have taken to the streets in response. The San Francisco protest was by far the largest, but just about every majQr American city has witnessed mobilizations in defiance of the Bryant crusade; In fact, the "gay movement"-the last gasp of New Left lifestyle radicalism--is seem­ ingly the most vociferous liberal/radical mobilization this side of the Vietnam war. Whether this wave' of anti-bigotry protest will have any significant effect on the American social climate depends on whether the working class can be mobilized in a fight for democratic rights through a class-struggle program to fight social oppression. The presem wave of homosexual activism was precipitated by Bryant's June 7 "Save Our Children" victory in Dade County, Florida. Appealing to the most disgusting backwardness with scare tactics designed to conjure up images of sinister homosexuals lurking in school playgrounds, Bryant suc­ ceeded in repealing an ordinance pro­ hibiting discrimination against homo­ sexuals. The repeal is an outrage against Ji/%dt£'k;:;;::,,~;-,->~---c-----,~'-.·.' /. elementary democratic rights, in effect Paul Hosefros/New York Times declaring "open season" on homosexu­ HundretJs of thousands of demonstrators turned out across the country June26 to voice their opposition to als and encouraging employers, land­ discrimination against homosexuals.
