Activities In connection with the fol.towing repOri., it should be mentioned that Subject was not often in possessien of Comtlete information On the functions and organization of the denartments, 'since he was directly assigned to the Wehrwirtschaftsstab. • He was sent to.the ' Auslendsabteilung des Amtes Auslandsnachrichten und Abwehr merely as liaison officer. It should. also be toted that Subject is a merchant by profession and that his Opinions and ideas wereinfluenced by an economic, rather than by a militarYputlook. II. CARZEit - abjectwas a career officer in l 'orld War I and rose from 'his initial rank of lieutenant to cap tain during the war. After his discharge he became an export merchant and opened :his own . business in Berlin. in 1922, 1Te expo/Ied mainly aeronautical equipment to all p arts of the world until 1931, when the denTession forced him into bahruptcy. Being. a p ersonal friend of King Carol II of Rumania and a shrewd businessman, Source used his connection to become, once again; economically independent. In 1937 he estAalished the "Sled Qst,HandelSgesellschaft von Raisin Co.", which is still in existence. . On 31 August 1939, Source was ordered to report to the Wehr, wirtschaftsstab of the OKI' for service, keeping his World 'War I raAk of Rittmeister. The Wehrwirtschaftsstab sent his to the AuSlandsabteilung des Amtes fuer Auslandsnachrichten undAbwehr as liaison officer. Early in 1 0.40, because of difficulty with the foreign office and his commanding officer, Source aP plied for distharge in order to return to his export businesS. Beceuse of this application aud the fricAdn with his sup eriors, he was disCharged on 20 April 1940, After returuing to his business, he made trips to Hungary, Rumania and Spain. Through his connection with notables of Narious:countries he was able to obtain pasa6orts and travel' permits without difficulty. From the date of his -1 S.E0RET §.ECRET discharge he never again entered any branch of military service. III. THE AVSLAYNABTEILTAG DES A:_TES FUER AUSLA:DSYACHRICFTEY UND ABWEHR A.. ?Unction. • The main tasks of the Auslandsabteilung des Amtes fixer AuslandenaOhrichten und Abwehr were to collect, evaluate, and use political and military information of the whole world. The results, in briefand Concise form, were sent to Admiral CAYARIS, chief of the Abwehr, who., in turn; forwarded them to Feldmarschall KE/TEL, commander in chief of the OKV. c The information material consisted in total of press releases reeio reports from Germany's allies, the neutral coUntries, and enemy countries. The most valuable material, was derived from intercepted telegrams from enemy or neutral sources. The telegrams were deci phered in a special department of the Auslandsabteilung, which was "Off Limits" to all unauthorized personnel. The deciphered telegrams and radiograms / , ere classified "Top Secret" and went directly to the chief of the Auslandsebteilung. In a0dition, the department also received numerous reports of P. volitical and military nature from reliable informants in foreign countries. As far RS Source knows, the dep artment did not hrve its own agents in foreign countries. at Organization The Auslandsabteilung,- headed by Kapitaan , zur Set later Aemiral) BUERITER, consisted of' five groups: : Political section Groqp 1 Group II : Administrative section Group III : Ground warfare section Group TV : Sea warfare section Group V : International laws section Each of these group s was headed by a section chief and his staff. These section chiefs had a drily briefing with the Abteilungschef. The political section gave a briefing on the political situation to all officers of the Abteilung from time to time. The Auslandsalteilung, although under the same departmental chief as the three Abwehr Abteilungen, was totally different in its organization an functions. -2SECRET 1 SECRET C. pperational Value Having been iA contact either ,'.irectly or in(Arectly with most of the officers of the Auslandsabteilung, Source believes that the de p artment was grossly ineffective. The officers, often reserve officers who had returned to the argv because they had been unsuccessful in civilien life, were for the most tart to old end inemoerienced in their particular jobs. Cooperation between the foreign office and the depPrtment was extreinel r poor.. The reports from foreign countries, often not the actual facts, but rather the opinions of certain informants or V-Leute, arrived at s irregular• intervals and usually very late. Nevertheless, it was necessary that the OKW receive direct informntion on foreign politics, without being- depervient upon the foreign office: (It must be mentioned that above statements do not necessarily represent true facts, but rather the opinion of Source.

Description The Sonderstab H.,K. was a s p ecial department organized to procure all materials essential to both the .xis and the Allied powers, by breaking the blockade and buying these materials from foreign markets. In order to keen essential materials from the Allies,Gernany would often buy such materials without intending to use or even to transport them to Germany. The de partment was headed by Admiral GROSS, who was directly resp onsible only to the the, OKW. In order to be able to buy,nateriala on foreign markets, the department had to procure foreign currencies. Therefore, representatives were sent out to make connections with bankers and big businessmen in foreign countries. In charge of the procurement of foreign currencies was Oberstleutnant KAYSER, who, in the course of his acitivites, became connected with a number of disreputable characters. His methods were so effective, however, that he was able to carry out all orders from above. In 1943 he' was suddenly Arrested for reasons 'unknown to Source, tried by a court martial, degraded, and sentenced to jailKAYMR;ne+d in his employ a merchant by the name of von HINTZENSTEW, who resided in Italy. This man was arrested and sentenced to jail in Sp ain in 1943 because of illegal transactions in foreign currencies.The department alai had -a representative in Paris, an Oberstleutnant Geheimrat TOODEYSTEr:„ who lived in the Hotel Claridge; but, as far as Source knows, he was never actively connected with any transaction or mission. Source was neveredirectly connected With the Sonderstab HWK, but through Obstlte KAYSER, whom he had kfloWn in the WehrwirtSchaftsstab and whom he visited frequently until his arrest in 1943, he learned much about the department. The Sonderstab HWX, though a small organization, was extremely effective and was credited with keeping German economically 'fstable" until 1943, -7SECRET •B, Chart :Sonderotab flier Handelskrieg und WirtschaftIlehs Kampfmassnahmen, H I E Admiral GROSS Adjutant I Obstlt.
