Reinhard Gehlen (3 March 1902 – 8 June 1979) was a Nazi intelligence officer who led operations against the Soviet Union during the Second World War. He surrendered in May 1945 and gave his archives to the United States. The USA hid him from the Soviet Union and allowed him to continue to spy against the USSR with support from Allen Dulles. He restarted his spy organization in West Germany on 9 July 1946 and hired dozens of former SS and Gestapo officers.[1]
