CASE NAME:

AGENT NAME:

GIS C/O:

OPPOSITION CONTACT: /Personal meetings in case officer's car and invarious Karlshorst safe apartments. Also has S/Wsystem for emergency communication with C/0, when inW. Germany, and a Berlin telephone number.

GIS CONTACT: West Berlin Safe apartment. Safehouse keeper is anold school chum. On Lena's trips in West Germany, GISC/O (SCHMIDT) reserves a room in same hotel. WhenLena's schedule is too tight for a thorough debriefingIn West Berlin safehouse, he makes use of a recorderin the safehouse and dictates the major events sincehis last visit. The tapes are then flown to Bremenfor transcribing and,processing, and the information,forwarded to GIS Hqs.

:SUMMARY: a) Born in 1914, Lena is a member of the Central Committee of theNDPD (Nationalische Demokratische Partai Deutschlands), is in charge of the"Verlag der Nation" (the NDPD publishing house in Berlin), and is Editor inChief of the National Zeitung (official organ of the NWT). He joined theNDPD soon after the war allegedly because it contained officers and other

• persons with whom he felt he could best associate. In 1948 or 1949, inorder to salve pangs of conscience about his Eastern residence, Lena sought

• out a former Luftwaffe officer friend (the present GIS safehouse keeper inWest Berlin), who lived in the French Zone of Germany; and through himestablished contact with the French IS, for whom he worked as a source ofpolitical information. The GIS (which may or may not have known this factin 1953) began efforts to contact and recruit him in the Spring of 1953and succeeded in both that summer. Although Lena allegedly offered tosever his FIB ties immediately) the jurisdictional problem was not solvedu4til an FIS-GIS conference in August 195k when tte French agreed to drop him.

b) Early in 1954, Lena was visited by the Soviet officers fnu GRENKOVand fnu VOLGIN who introduced themselves as members of the Soviet HighCommission interested in information on the Foreign Ministers' Conferencethen being held in Berlin. Subsequent contact was maintained by VOLGINwho recruited Lena for the HIS in March 1954.c) As this case developed, it was regarded as so important that GeneralGehlen personally briefed Adenauer and Hans Globke on it. The GIS nowconsider it their most important CE case. Lena is given no specificassignments by the GIS; he merely reports on his contact with the RIS,their EEI's, etc. The GIS appears to have a concrete control over Lena.He is paid a generous salary which is deposited in a West German safetydeposit box.d) Lena's priority Objective for the HIS was and still remains thepenetration of the Bonn Foreign Office and other federal offices in Bonn.He was directed to recruit a number of persons in the,East Zone, to setup a West Zone newspaper to provide them with cover, and to organizethem into an agent network concentrated on Bonn. On the Bonn target,

. Lena also spots and reports on persons employed in various federal officesin Bonn. Virtually all of these leads have been supplied by his RIScase officers. Rvdolptie) The net at present cons ts of Lena as chief, two courier-support agents,Johann Herbert RUEDEGER an HARNISCH (who undertake specific missions inWest Germany), a low-level member who serves merely as a letter drop,fnu PRODOVSKY (phonetic), and an unrecruited special contact, Dr. SCURLA.The net is known as the Gruppe KATZBACH. While Lena directs the net, itnow appears that RUEDEGER and HARNISCH are also in directtcontact with thepresent HIS case officer SHCHUGIN.f) A second objective of the HIS is the reporting of political conditionsin the Federal Republic. Periodically, Lena makes extensive trips toWest Germany, ostensibly in connection with publishing business. As ajournalist and political figure, he has a great number of prominent andInformed contacts in the Federal Republic. He is thus considered somewhatof a political pundit by his RIS case officers, who appear to value hisjudgement in this field very highly. Recently at the request of SHCH(JGIN,he wrote up a detailed study on the formation of a Neutrality Party in theFederal Republic, which the case officer stated would be sent directlyto Moscow.g) Lena was directed by VOLGIN from the inception (RIS) of the operationin March 1954 until August 1954, when VOLGIN allegedly left on home leave.From that date until May 1955 he was directed by Thu GEORGIEV, who likeVOLGIN, was stationed in or near Karlshorst. From then until the present,he has been directed by Vladimir Konstantinovich SHCHUGIN, also stationedat Karlshorst. The HIS does not pay Lena because of his alleged politicalmotivation. Instead, Lena has made some special requests, such as anattempt to go to a German-Russian football game in Moscow in 1955, Which how-ever fell through at the last minute because of some unspecified difficultieswith the travel bureau. The residence of Lena and his immediate family inEast Berlin is the only known concrete handle. Lena has no other relativesin the East.

SETT

SECRETh) The RIS handling of Lena to date has been unprofessional in theextreme. His relationship with his case officers has been one of agentascendancy. In keeping with their respect for his political judgement,at no time has there appeared to be any question of his bona fides.All three case officers have discussed operational plans and detailsat length with him, which in many cases had no bearing on his ownimmediate operation. As a result, the GIS were aware almost immediatelyof the recruitment of "ThrXDOR" and the operational plans regarding"ASKARI" (see summaries of these operations).,0 At the same time however, the GIS are also fully confident of Lena'sbona fides. This judgement is based largely on the volume and importanceof the political and operational information they derive from the opera-tion in comparison with what they feel could be the RIS take or thevalue to the latter of passing deception material. All information anddata derived from Lena has consistently checked. Atf-the same time,the GIS are monitoring to a large degree what they feel is the RIS'smajor effort in Germany, the Bonn target. Lena is assessed by the GISas an ideal agent--versatile, a realist, an "ice-cold calculator," awork-horse, and well motivated.
