““In August, Gehlen and a number of high-ranking colleagues were transported under Boker’s watch to Washington in the private plane of a US General and from there to the Pentagon. After initially being placed in solitary confinement,5 within a year, having impressed US Intelligence, who trained him intensively, Gehlen was returned to Germany to head a massive US-backed German spy-ring to monitor Russian activities. Over the next decade, the US poured an estimated $200m into the ring, known colloquially as Gehlen Org.””
