Super spy: the story of Reinhard Gehlen

The story of Reinhard Gehlen, former head of the West German Secret Service, who helped to found the CIA, the American Central Intelligence Agency. Gehlen was Hitler's Chief of Intelligence on the Russian Front during World War Two. Long before May 1945 he had secreted himself and his files on the Soviets away from Berlin while he waited his chance to bargain for his freedom with the advancing Americans. The story is traced from Gehlen's joining the Nazi Party during the early 1930s to his retirement on a CIA pension.
