Re: 07.44 american crew captured by Germans
Byron -
Im Stab/Heeresgruppe was Oblt. Kurt Waldheim as an Ic Ordonnanz-Offizier. His job included the interrogation of Allied personnel and air crew who arrived in Greece by parachute and by boat. He worked hand-in-hand with the HGr. E Abwehroffizier (A.O.) and the SD. After the war, Waldheim became the Secretary General of the United Nations and then president of Austria. He was charged with war crimes in the 1980s that included the turning over to the SD/Gestapo Allied prisoners captured in Greece during the summer of 1944, some of whom were later executed after being falsely charged with aiding the Greek resistance. It is entirely possible that this interrogation summary was put together by Kurt Waldheim.
