-Caveat Lector- Dear List, Please find information on this below. Neil >From Blowback by Christopher Simpson: Bund Deutscher Junger pg. 146 In 1950 CIC and CIA agents used the Labor Services cover to begin guerrilla training of at least 100 members of the far-right-wing League of Young Germans (Bund Deutshcer Jungen, or BDJ). These "Young Germans" were no Boy Scouts; most were Waffen SS and Wehrmact veterans, according to a later west German government investigation, and a considerable part of the leadership of the group had been enthusiastic "Jew baiters" in the Goebbels ministry during the Nazis' rule. The budget for the clandestine group was 50,0000 deutsche marks per month($500,000 per year in American money to train them as assassins). . . German and American advisors provided BDJ agents with extensive military instruction, including use of Russian, United States and German weapons, including machine guns, grenades, and knives as well as light infantry weapons and explosives." The underground group called itself a U.S. "Technical Service" unit. pg.211 The "young Germans" assassination squads slowly convinced U.S. intelligence that the Labor Service units in Europe were unsuitable for the major guerrilla warfare and espionage projects that the army and CIA were attempting to hide in them. . . . the best of the émigré foot soldiers should be brought to the U.S., the army concluded, enlisted in the U.S. Army and provided with intensive training far beyond what was possible in the Labor service units. The army also reasoned that this more formal recruitment of émigrés would also permit the granting of security clearances to translators with backgrounds in Russian, Ukrainian, and other Eastern European languages. The new enlistees were to remain under U.S. army control, even thought the military was eager to cooperate with the CIA on specific missions. He goes on to say how the Lodge Act was passed after the Army convinced Congress to let in 12,500 alien nationals residing outside U.S to enlist in the U.S.Army. It guaranteed them citizenship if they successfully completed five years of service. They were airlifted to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey and after orientation the army shipped them to Fort Dix, New Jersey for 6-18 weeks of basic training. Others were sent directly to a special army intelligence Language Unit at Fort Devens, Mass. Substantial numbers were posted to the Defense Language School in Monterey, California, others to the Armed Forces Demonstration Unit at Fort Monroe, Virginia, where defectors from Eastern Europe taught Red Army tactic to U.S. strike force teams. About 25 percent were channeled into slots as atomic, chemical, and biological warfare specialists. Others became translators of captured secret documents and instructors for U.S. intelligence analysts. Pg. 213 Others underwent special guerrilla training at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina and became the nucleus of the present day Green Berets. The commander of the program at Fort Bragg was Colonel Aaron Bank, an army paramilitary expert who only a few months previously had directed the CIC units responsible for running Klaus Barbie, Mykola Lebed, and similar intelligence assets in Germany. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
