English | Documentary | Size: 956 MB
Super Spy: The Story of Reinhard Gehlen investigates the life of Reinhard Gehlen, known as the ‘spymaster of the western world’.
This is the remarkable story of Reinhard Gehlen, former Head of the German Secret Service, who helped to found the CIA, the American Central Intelligence Agency. What work had Gehlen done during the Second World War that made him so valuable to the United States of America? And how was this leading German spy able to change his allegiance to Allies so swiftly to become an integral spy master of the emerging Cold War?
His early army career was as Heinz Guderian’s chief of Intelligence, becoming later Hitler’s Chief of Intelligence on the Russian Front during World War Two. However, long before May 1945 he had secreted himself and his files on the Soviets, away from Berlin, to the so called Alpine Redoubt in Southern Germany. He waited his chance to bargain for his freedom with the advancing Americans. His bargain was accepted and he and his files formed the basis of the CIA when it was set up in 1947.
At the height of the Cold War three-quarters of the West’s intelligence regarding the Soviets came, it was said, from Gehlen, who recruited, trained and infiltrated behind the Iron Curtain more than 5,000 secret agents. The “Org,” as the Gehlen organization was known, supplied upwards of 70 per cent of the intelligence data from the Soviet orbit for the United States and NATO.
Super Spy story is traced from Gehlen’s joining the Nazi party during the early 1930s to his retirement on a CIA pension in the late 60s.
