Sorry, don't know much about him. Gehlen and his organisation is a another dark and unpleasant chapter in Germany's post-war history.
Noy only was Gehlen a high ranking officer in the Wehrmacht, not only did his Anti-Communist spy and sabotage networks employ a large number of former Nazis, but the Organisiton Gehlen helped also numerous wanted war-criminals to escape from Europe mainly to South-America.
The Western Allies during the first decade of the Cold War seemingly believed, that the fact that many of the Germans they had employed, had committed war crimes, was only a minor irritance and forgivable.
Somehow, his story proves that the Nazis who at the end of the war believed that Nazi Germany would reach a separate peace deal with the Western Allies and then go united against the Soviet Union, weren't actually that far off the mark.
