Biography

I was in a Counter Intelligence Unit placed in Germany for the purpose of trying to find principles of the German Government who were still alive; whom we could detain and prosecute. There were still a lot of people, for instance, who belonged to the Gestapo who had either deserted or been released; still causing trouble and who were in reality still at war or trying to get out of Germany. I am unable to recall the names of any of the detainees. I experienced both dangerous and tragic events.
