# SECRET34. Subject continued his blackmarket activities until approximately February 1944 when, through an oversight, Subject was arrested by the German Police. Prior to his arrest, Subject lived extremely well and occupied a good apartment in Berlin. Subject's family thought that he occupied a high place in the Ministry, because Subject was in possession of large sums of money, and also appeared to have no difficulty traveling anywhere. Subject stated that he even obtained a pass for his father, who wanted to visit Munich. Subject stated that his father, at the time, devised a system for extracting oil from shale, and Subject, wanting to help his father with his (father's) knowledge, used a stratagem whereby he (subject) gave 100,000 marks to his mother to invest into his father's firm.35. Subject stated that he helped ten French workers and four prisoners of war to return to France. This came about as a result of requests that came to Subject from friends and not as an organized plan to help any individuals escape from Germany. The only individual, who was a prisoner of war whose name Subject could remember, was a Frenchman by the name of C. VILLEMAIN (NR-IRD). VILLEMAIN, even though a prisoner of war, worked on a farm during the week and could go into town on Sundays. The others whom Subject helped were deported workers. Subject recalled the names of two of these, Henri JOINEY (NR-IRD) and Charles ALLAINES (NR-IRD). Subject stated that he provided each of these men with a passport, a travel order, ration cards, and a small sum of money. Subject also instructed each one on how best to conduct himself in order to avoid being apprehended at the border.36. Subject also furnished an individual by the name of EDELSTEIN with a travel order. EDELSTEIN was a German Jew, who was engaged in black-marketing operations. EDELSTEIN had managed to conceal his Jewish background and was in possession of a German passport, but feeling that the Germans were about to arrest him, he prevailed upon Subject to furnish him with a false travel order, which Subject did.37. Subject advised that he was successful in this work because each German ministry issued its own travel orders, and there was no means of double checking; first, the difficulty was too great to double check the temporary duty travel orders; secondly, the Germans were extremely respectful of official looking documents; thirdly, because of the low mentality of personnel at check points; finally, because the passports were not counterfeit in all cases, and all Subject did was to substitute a new photograph for the original. In return for the favor that Subject extended to these people, some of them reciprocated by helping him with his blackmarket operations.38. Subject had a plan whereby he wanted to enlarge his blackmarket operations, and had the intention of setting up a two-way radio system to improve his communications. VILLEMAIN, the French prisoner of war whom Subject helped, was an engineer, and Subject had intended to use VILLEMAIN in setting up the post in Paris. However, before Subject could accomplish this he (subject) was arrested by the German Police.

# SD!ansvered the letter. prior to this, in aprroximately 1949, Subject receiveda letter from his father which was about 12 pages long, and which asked Sub-ject to send his father technical looks on refrigeration. Subject statedthat he never replied to this letter. Subject had news of his sister, whoused to write occasionally to her friend, Madame Anette BARET (NR-IRD), wholived at #52 Boulevard St. Germain, Paris, France.49. Subject also received news of his sister from a 2nd or 3rd cousin    by the name of Mathieu KERRESSELIDZE (NR-IRD), who is about 52 years of age    and lives at #17 or #27 Avenue General DeGaulle, Leves ist (Seine et Oise),    France. Subject stated that Mathieu was a prisoner of war in Siberia and    had probably been a member of the Bergan Battalion who had parachuted    into the USSR during the early laws of the War. Mathieu returned to Paris    approximately one and one-half years ago. His name had been in a Georgian    newspaper. Mathieu vas arrested by the French and charged with collaborating    with the Germans. He was interved by the French for a short time and    acquitted. At the present time Mathieu is in Germany attempting to find    work. His last known address is the one stated above. Subject was not    certain of the dates that Nathieu returned to France. Subject sav Mathieu    in Paric, and during a conversation Mathieu stated that he had met Subject's    sister in Moscow, after his release from the Siberian prisoner of war carip.    At that time Mathieu vas in Moscow in contact with the French Consulate,    which issued him a paper stating that he was a French citizen. Mathieu then    got in touch with Subject's brother, who sent Mathieu sufficient funds to    return to France.50. Subject stated that he has two distant cousins in the United States,    Guivy and Othar ZALDASTANI. Subject stated that he recently sav other, who    had come to France on a visit, and Subject asked other to tell Guivy that    everything is going well. Subject's maternal uncle, Djibo (Gabriel)    KANTCHELI (NR-IRD), who is a taxi driver and lives at #37 Rue de la    Rochefoucauld, Paris IX, France, is well acquainted with the majority of    the Georgians who formerly resided in France but are now spread throughout    the world. Subject's father vas a member of the Georgian nobility and, a8    such, had a large circle of friends.51.

# Office Memorandum * UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTTO: William Roger, SR/BOBDATE: 27 May, 1957FROM: William R. Caraway, O/Tr/CD/MSSUBJECT: Personal observation of Dave and AlbertMy personal opinion of the two students that received instruction in First Aid from me, The period of acquaintance was four and one half days. They were very receptive to the course and were able to ask intelligent questions on the material being presented. When being questioned, both could give a good dissertation in their answering even though there was some language problem. How to the individuals.Dave: In my conversations with Dave, he would bring up the subject of hiking and camping, saying that he couldn't see the necessity in this and that he would rather live in a house with all of the conveniences at hand. The idea of physical labor doesn't appeal to him, he would rather use his brain. When there was a lull in conversation, he would be the one to start it. He enjoys motoring, and the feeling of being free from those around him. Although Dave stated that he would like to live alone and do his own cooking, housekeeping and etc.; I got the feeling that most of it is just talk and that he would rather have a companion, someone that would sort of more or less take care of him.At the dining table, he would eat only those foods he recognized and those that he enjoyed. He would ask about the others, but would seldom try those.Albert: Quiet, very seldom talked about himself. At meal times he ate everything that was placed before him. Liked to insert a little humor into life. Seems to enjoy physical exercise as well as mental. 461-233477

in summaries I would like to say that they were consistent., both displayed a keen interest in anything for somewhat that was interested to them. I would say that the race officer used good judgement in their selection, the making a team of traps two was in good taste, at one seems to make up where the other lacks.William R.

# MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Observations during Period 20 April - 2 May of D. Tarient.## 1. Physical Description:Height: 5' 6"Weight: 120 lbs.Hair: Black - balk headedEyes: Dark BrownDistinguishing marks: Missing first joints of right thumb and right first finger. Wears moustache (black)## 2. Physical ConditionsSubject seems to enjoy walking and running. He remarked that he could trot along three miles in one hour.## 3. Eating Habits:Subject is not too impressed with American way of eating, that is, having all the food put on the table and then each taking a portion of each course and filling up the plate.Subject feels that more time should be devoted to eating than Joe C. alloted for eating. He was amazed that it only took the latter about 15 minutes to eat. Likewise, Subject likes to eat one course at a time and that each course be brought into the room and placed on the table separately. After the meal he would like fresh fruit, cheese, coffee. He does not care much for sweets, neither does he care for cottage cheese salad, l.e., cottage cheese and canned fruit. This combination irks him. Subject was assured that this was a manner of eating in America and that it was a custom and that the undersigned probably would find some faults with the way the French serve food. Dave enjoys fruit juices.Dave eats his food in the manner to which he is accustomed. He puts only one course on his plate and only when finished eating it does he help himself to the next course, etc.At breakfast he is a very light eater. He is content just with coffee, toast and juice.## 4. Freetime:During the undersigned's stay with Subject, most of the freetime was spent watching TV, walking and attending English lessons. Subject stated that he wanted to learn English, so the undersigned accommodated him. A 35 cent Cardinal edition of "English thru Pictures" was purchased for him and was used as the text book. Subject was coming along fairly well in the language. Subject is able to manage satisfactorily in the language only
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 123]
-2-thing which hinders his is his lack of confidence. Time will probablytake care of his improvement.5. General Remarks:He was amazed that he was in the U.S.A., though he was here he stated that he could not believe that he was here. The relative seclusion during the past two weeks did not reassure him in anyway that he definitely was in the U.S.A. Many of his ideas regarding American seemed to be impressions that he obtained from seeing American films while in France. Thus he has a little difficulty trying to place the America that he has observed now with what preconceived ideas that he already has of America.While in town on 23 April, his only remark about Washington was that he did not see any exceptionally beautifully girls (Hollywood types). Ee also stated that the American males, i.e. American Soldier in 1945, was nice strong, healthy type of male.Enroute from the airport Dave wore his blackout glasses until we reached the district line. While crossing the South Capital Street Bridge Dave sensed that we were brossing the bridge because of the vibrations caused by the car passing over the steel mesh on the bridge, stated that we must be crossing the Fotomac river now. Another question was how far was the airport from the house where we were headed. The undersigned agreed that we were crossing the Fotomac and a that the area we were going to was over fifty miles from the district.By nature Dave is very curious. To satisfy his curiousity he uses various ruses in order to elicit information regarding his status and future.Whenever the undersigned went for a walk with Dave, usually before end after meals, the former expected to be asked numerous personal questions. One or twice, Dave mentioned that he did not know why he was here, what kind of job he would have, etc.Dave was assured that this sounded somewhat irregular, the undersigned felt that he mist have been told something womewhere along the line. At this point, Dave would stop asking questions. Later on the undersigned learned that Dave was very talkative with Tom Miller (alias) and told the latter the whole story about what was told to date. It is assumed that Dave was trying to show Tom that he knew everything and thus hope that Tomé would fill any little details that Dave would omit. These were two different approaches that Dave used trying to elicit information from the undersigned and Tom Miller.Dave seems to be quite a perfectionist when it come to things mechanical. While at the Log Cabin, Dave tried on af number of occasions to adjust the TV set. Dave could not understand why the TV set sometimes would not function properly particularly whenever a passing plane would go over it would interfere with the sets operation. This account did not suit hire for he had to try and adjust, so as a result more time was expended on adjusting than watching TV. lie was quite irked because he felt that the TV was malfunctioning.
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 124]
Dave likes to watch cowboy and gangster films, and the children liked it too because the participants spoke very slowly and he could understand the language.Periodically, Dave would cuestion the undersigned on schedule for the day and when told what it would be it seemed that he would fail to hear what was told to him and later on would propose the same question. Dave did not like the idea that he had to start English from basic he wanted to have something more advance.Dave like to test others and it seems that he will continually do so throughout the course.Dave did not seen to impressed with the idea that he had to be debriefed all over again. His comment was that he told this over and over so many times and that it was not necessary to do over again. At times when he did not want to answer a question he would state that he already told this to George and drop the matter there.1 May 1959:Shortly before Dave's departure for another safehouse, Dave remarked that he was not much concerned about the training that he will have to undergo during the next phase but is concerned more about "der Tat." what he was driving at was to try to elicit what information he could regarding the work that he will be required or expected to fulfill once training is over, i.e., the mission. Dave was assured that this naturally would follow only after the completion of the training, then he would be informed by the people concerned that at this time such information could not be given him.That evening, the undersigned stayed with Dave and Albert at the new safehouse. At supper remarked about the manner in which the food was served that it was not according to French custom. Albert said you eat the way you want, yet at the same time filling up his plate.After suprer, Dave querying Albert about the property, to whom does the land belong etc. All Albert could say that it all belongs to the man who owns the house and left matters drop at that.Dave was quite witty at the supper meal today. This was the first time that the undersigned seemed to see him in such jovial spirits. Both men seemed to hit it off very well. Dave seems to recognize Alberts brawn.Dave seemed to like the cooking better at the new location. He stated that this place wasmuch better that the other place. He stressed that the housekeepers here were much better that the others.
