KV 2/103 on Herbert Christian Oscar (Oskar?) Otto Wichmann During most of WW II he was the Ast-X Leiter in Hamburg My re-approaching, however, is being triggered by our continuing endeavour around the Drueke-Vera-Waelti drama Actually, being mainly interested in Vera’s alleged husband Dierks, alias von Wedel, or whatever names he might have used. Herbert Wichmann was actually in charge of Major Nikolaus Ritter; I therefore would like to approach this file, and searching for traces on them too. On the one hand, I have no idea what to expect, on the other hand, there is no other way than to continue by this means. It proved, however, astonishingly: that Dierks’ name appears quite often within the context of this document. All sections selected are my choices; transcripts being sometimes added with my comments and corrections. Though, all being clearly recognisable, by the application of blue, red and seldomly green colours. As always in these KV 2/… series, its purpose is for study only; therefore: do not multiply it, as some still obeys to Crown Copyright. By Arthur O. Bauer 2 KV 2/103 Wichmann, Herbert Christian Oscar Otto PF 600782 3 KV 2/103-1, page 5 + 6 Not necessarily true 4 1934 Returned from the Argentine as a retired naval officer and was re-employed by the Abwehr.

D.I. Vesey, Major 29th November 1945. 25 KV 2/103-2, page 7 (Wichmann’s file series) Notice: that Dierks should have sent this agent to England and Ireland. ↓ 26 KV 2/103-2, page 10 Quoting partially: I also attaché a copy of the results obtained from Wichmann and from Pheiffer of Nest Bremen, in the case you are interested in them. … Dierks (I M), who according to both Wichmann and Pheiffer was the Hamburg official most active in running agents against this country (England) before the war, was unfortunately killed in a motor accident shortly after the outbreak of war. Ritter … (Dierks died in the evening of 2nd September 1940) (Ritter wasn’t dead either, and was later interrogated KV 2/85 – KV 2/88) ↓ 27 KV 2/103-2, page 13 Wichmann was only in Hamburg for one month in November/December 1935 to learn the organisation of an Abwehrstelle, and again from December 1936, becoming Leiter I.M. in spring 1937. He claims that any of these cases which had any particular reference to I M. were probably the pre-occupation of his predecessor Korv.Kapt. Burghardt, or that if they refer to the period when he was in charge, they would probably be handled by Dierks. Wichmann states that Dierks was very much an individualist and that he (Wichmann) used to allow him to get on with his work with a minimum of interference, especially as he found his administrative duties as Leiter enough to cope with it at the time. In consequence only the really important and more successful cases would receive his detailed attention, and these, as far as England was concerned, were very few indeed. Wichmann knew Dierks used post-boxes to receive information from various sources – he thinks that doubtless some of the names now quoted to him must have been those in question, but he maintains that he has no personal knowledge on them. KV 2/103-2, page 15 Case 14: Wichmann knows that Mrs. Jessie Jordan was handled by Dierks Case 17: Wichmann knows that R.W. Simon was operated by Hptm. Ritter I L before the war and by Dierks; early in the war up to the time when he was arrested in Eire.

    Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 by Brett Edward Lintott A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © Copyright by Brett Edward Lintott, 2015 Abstract Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 Brett Edward Lintott Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto, 2015 This dissertation provides an analysis of the Mediterranean double-cross system of the Second World War, which was composed of a number of double agents who were turned by the Allies and operated against their ostensible German spymasters. Utilizing many freshly released archival materials, this study assesses how the double-cross system was constructed, why it was an effective instrument, and how it contributed to Allied success in two areas: security and counter-intelligence, and military deception. The focus is thus on both organization and operations. The chapters cover three chronological periods. In the first — 1941-42 — the initial operational usage of a double agent is assessed, along with the development of early organizational structures to manage and operate individual cases as components of a team of spies. The second section, covering 1943, assesses three issues: major organizational innovations made early that year; the subsequent use of the double agent system to deceive the Germans regarding the planned invasion of Sicily in July; and the ongoing effort to utilize double agents to ensure a stable security and counter-intelligence environment in the Mediterranean theatre. The third and final section analyzes events in 1944, with a focus on double-cross deception in Italy and France, and on the emergence of more systematic security and counter-intelligence double-cross operations in Italy and the Middle East.

    POVIJEST PROTUOBAVJEŠTAJNOG DJELOVANJA: DVOSTRUKE IGRE U DRUGOM SVJETSKOM RATU Nikola Tabain * UDK: 355.40:94(100)“1939/1945“ Primljeno: 21. V. 2019. Prihvaćeno: 10. I. 2020. SAŽETAK Sastavnice obavještajnog sustava u suvremenom demokratskom društvu imaju ključnu ulogu u zaštiti nacionalne sigurnosti i nacionalnih interesa. Obavještajni sustavi sastavljeni su od obavještajnih, sigurnosnih i protuobavještajnih službi koje koriste različite metode i discipline prikupljanja podataka kako bi im vlastitom obradom i analizom dale dodanu vrijednost i pretvorile ih u intelligence. U prvom dijelu rada su definirani temeljni poj- movi vezani za obavještajni sustav i sustav nacionalne sigurnosti. Detaljnije je prikazano i objašnjeno protuobavještajno djelovanje i njegova uloga u doba mira i rata, s nagla- skom na područja djelovanja, ciljeve, metode i tehnike. U drugom dijelu rada prikazani su obavještajni sustavi Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Njemačke između dva svjetska rata te u Drugom svjetskom ratu. Uporabom metode studije slučaja prikazani su sukobi i razlike između njih, te je na kraju izveden zaključak o njihovoj uspješnosti u ostvarenju vlastite misije – pobjede u ratu. Ključne riječi: obavještajno djelovanje, protuobavještajno djelovanje, nacionalna sigurnost, Drugi svjetski rat. UVOD Pojam „obavještajno djelovanje” (engl. intelligence) do danas nema jedinstveno i općenito prihvaćeno značenje. Prema ZDP-201 (2014), obavještajno je djelovanje „usmjeravano prikupljanje i obrada informacija o okruženju, sposobnostima i na- mjerama sudionika u području interesa, a u svrhu identificiranja prijetnji i prilika koje mogu iskoristiti donositelji odluka”. * Nikola Tabain ([email protected]) je magistar vojnog vođenja i upravljanja.

  • The Double Cross System and MI-5'S Supremacy in World War II

    The Double Cross System and MI-5'S Supremacy in World War II

    “A Game of Human Chess”: The Double Cross System and MI-5’s Supremacy in World War II By Adamya Sharma History Departmental Undergraduate Honors Thesis University of Colorado at Boulder April 7, 2015 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Thomas Zeiler Department of History and International Affairs Defense Committee: Dr. Fred Anderson Department of History Dr. Thomas Metcalf Department of Philosophy Abstract World War II featured monumental battles, such as the Normandy invasions, the Battle of the Bulge, Stalingrad, Iwo Jima, El Alamein, and Kursk. While historical scholarship of the World War II generally focuses on the war’s grand military engagements, it is imperative to note that Allied and Axis intelligence units battled for supremacy in a war of deception. The Double Cross system employed by the British military intelligence division (MI-5) was, virtually from the war’s onset, successful in overwhelming its German opponent, the Abwehr by turning its agents into supportive double agents. Traditional historiography follows the classic spy narrative and credits the success of MI-5 to its daring agents, brilliant creators, or stalwart handlers who used wit and guile to deceive their German adversary. In this thesis I will argue that the success of the Double Cross system should be attributed to more than solely the actions of the Double Cross team. Though the operatives played an invaluable role, the existence of an overriding, well-structured system determined their success. By examining the uniqueness of the Double Cross system, this thesis will seek to illustrate that the victorious outcome of the British in the intelligence war was due to their tireless effort to perfect a system of counterespionage.
