The Subject was more expressive of his affection toward his mother whereas his brother was more timid, shy and independent. When the brother saw the Subject getting his mother's attention he tried to replace the Subject. When the brother learned that the Subject was seeing a girl whom he knew too he advised the girl to leave the Subject alone. This sibling rivalry may continue to date. However, the fraternal relationship is likely to be more complex. It may be that the brother regards the Subject as "Peck's Bad Boy" or the balck sheep of the family and is interested in fostering the Subject as regards opportunities for accomplishment or success. For some reason or other this examiner has the feeling that the brother may have been indirectly instrumental in the spotting of the Subject. The Subject tends to steer away from a discussion of his brother and chiefly presents the data that this brother is kind, somewhat vain and that he is fond of his brother. By a comparative analysis of the Subject and his relationship to his brother it is apparent that the Subject has a very strong desire to succeed and to to accomplish. He was also influenced by others in this regard. For example, at a certain time in his childhood the Subject lived near some former Georgian resistance who had fought against the Soviets. The Subject regarded these persons as uneducated but admirable and affectionate. He feels that he certainly must have been influenced by their exciting stories of their many exploits. He feels he must also have been impressed by their patriotism. The Subject is a sentimental person and he was exalted and deeply impressed by the warm and enthralling manner in which they expressed themselves. He feels that this particular association may have contributed to his passion which he always puts into the execution of whatever he undertakes.The Subject claims that he has learned from his personal experiences in life rather than from school or from the experiences of others. He feels that he has educated himself in the school of life and has derived little from formal education or from the experiences of others. For example, he claims that his mother's opinion had importance for him only at the time she rendered her opinions. As far as he was concerned they did not have a lasting influence. This item is important as far as the Subject's reaction to future training is concerned. It is likely that he would be impatient to proceed with the task in actuality rather than to learn about performing a task through the experiences of others.-7-

# SECRETThe Subject feels that throughout his school experience, perhaps only one or two teachers really understood him. He regarded the others as apparently idiotic or worthless. These particular teachers taught him that it was often necessary in life to swallow a great deal of useless "stuff" so that thereafter, certain essentials could be more easily digested." This is another helpful hint as regards the trainers who may be assigned to the Subject.Subject feels that, apart from his academic progress at school, he learned that it was necessary to communicate, to express himself, to understand and explain. He feels that these are necessary skills in society and he relies quite heavily upon his verbal intelligence. It is likely that he would relate well with a person who exhibited superior wisdom and expressive ability. It is also likely that he would relate poorly to an inarticulate person of lower intelligence.The Subject was also influenced in his mental development by heroes " such as Lindberg, Edison, Hitler, Einstein, et alia. The Subject reasoned that if such people existed, the possibility to act either for good or evil also existed. The Subject never identified with one hero in particular but with heroes in general. As a result he wished to be a hero himself. The Subject also remembers certain outstanding men of history from whom he learned a certain order was necessary for the good of the people. However, it developed that the Subject was disillusioned in these men and his ideals were shaken when he later learned to his dismay that they could commit abject or monstrous acts. Related to these experiences, is the fact that the Subject puts no stock in emblems or signs of rank or reputation. He regards such signs as identifying labels only and is not impressed. The fact that he tends to be a skeptic or a cynic should be_important to his handlers.As a foreigner in France the Subject was liable to mobilization into the French Army at the beginning of World War II. However, he felt the authorities took an awful long time to make a decision in connection with him and because of this he joined the French Foreign Legion and left immediately for North Africa feeling that at last he was becoming a member of a famous unit and at the same time fulfilling his obligations towards the French military service. This is an example of his impulsivity, sentimentalism and need for prestige. However, it was not long before he became dissatisfied and expressed his discontent in opinions that-8-
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 46]
France was an incoherent mess. He bitterly regretted that he had become acquainted with people who obviously did not know what they wanted. The Subject feels that his experience in the Foreign Legion did not have any great influence on his character except that it mobilized a profound dislike for irresolute persons. This point was dealt with before. However, it is worthwhile to repeat that the Subject is an impatient fellow who desires immediate action as regards his interests. He is impatient with postponement and with what he regards as a lack of resolve on the part of others. Unless he is dealt with promptly he develops critical opinions and complaints. As regards his affiliation, it is important to note that he has no real alternative at this time and is therefore required to accept normal procedures.Although he may regard these procedures as a waste of time he will accept them because he lacks control at this point in his processing.The Subject married for the principal reason of creating a family and a home. Even though he understands the values of the principles involved, principles which were inculcated by his father, he now feels that it was a ridiculous mistake to marry just for the sake of principles without the necessary sentiments. He rationalizes that, at that time, he was merely abiding by the precepts of his father without thinking of the possible consequences. However, he soon discovered that creating a family did not represent anything at all except "aggravating the incoherence and the division of society". In other words, for the Subject, marriage meant building a wall around himself. He also found that, instead of finding a partner who complemented him, all he obtained from the partnership was a reflection of himself. (In selecting a partner for this Subject it would be wise to consider this aspect.). The Subject feels that so-called spiritual intimacy is a fallacy. He is of the opinion that women are necessary for sexual purposes but he fails to understand why it is necessary to "build a separate world" with them. It would appear, in terms of the Subject's anti-social attitudes, that he had hoped to create his own world through marriage, but found that this was an illusion. He does not assume the responsibilities for this attempt.The Subject does not regard his marriage as a complete fiasco. He feels that both he and his wife were fairly nice and that they got along fairly well with one another but did not live very comfortably. Furthermore, he did not feel that there was any evolution in the marriage. He admits to his debit that he married because he wanted to experience what it meant-9-
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 47]
to have children. Actually, however, he did not want children as individuals in themselves but he assumed that the marriage would produce a child whom he exactly imagined and which would be a reproduction of himself. However, the first child turned out to be a female and this may have shaken the Subject. The Subject voluntarily submits that he has learned the difference between the male and the female. This would seem to be a peculiar statement but it has a good deal of meaning for him, particularly as regards his relationship with his mother, sister, wife and first child. He regards women as alogical and as being determined by a psycho-feminine education. He developed this attitude originally as a defense against his mother's conforming tendencies and it is probable that he crystalized the attitude when his wife rejected him after he had attacked the bank and was arrested. His wife had a second child while the Subject was in jail and the Subject knows nothing about either of his children.(This is enough to tip us off that the Subject should not be exposed to females who would be important in his handling.)During World War II the Subject became involved in black marketeering and in the false documents business and claimed to have created a gang which he led and to have traveled throughout Central Europe. He also claims that the primary purpose of the gang was to repatriate or liberate war prisoners and that technically speaking, the black market business was a worthless branch, the only purpose of which was to solve financial problems. However, he admits, that it is true that the black market business reached such a magnitude that a person that was interested only in making money could have found it a quite satisfying and sufficient activity in itself.As was mentioned above the primary purpose of the gang, according to the Subject was to liberate prisoners. He was successful in releasing 13 French prisoners from Germany. He claims not to have done this for patriotic motives but for humanitarian reasons. He helped the prisoners because they needed help and because he felt it was the right thing to do. He was paid for this but claims to have given his money to help the prisoners. He helped the French prisoners despite the fact that he had sympathy for the Germans. He claims that his sympathy for the Germans was based on the fact that some Georgians had relatives in Germany and he hoped that the Germans would defeat the Russians. If the prisoners had been Germans he would have done the same thing.-10-
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 48]
Even though he admired and sympathized with the Germans he claimshe would not have harmed France. All this is rather complex. However,it is possible to understand his motivations according to his basic principle,which involves a vague desire to help others who need it. He alsoexpresses pride in doing the outstanding and the difficult. The materialreward is not an ultimate end in itself. His emotionalized ideals arenot expressed clearly in terms of politics or nationality. This complesof motivations will also be discussed in terms of the Subject's participationin the bank robbery.Although the Subject was satisfied, on the whole, with thetechnical efficiency of his gang and although he was pleased with thefreedom of movement and his apparent security, he was arrested becauseof carelessness or a slip, not in the actual functioning of the gang, butrather on the part of one of the men whom the gang was helping.Consequently the Subject was arrested by the Gestapo. Because hewas considered by the Germans to be a very important prey he playedalong and led the Germans to believe that he was more important thanthey had figured. He hoped that such a tactic and belief on their partwould bring him certain advantages. Although he realized that he couldhave been shot for only half what he had done and that it may have beendisadvantageous for him to exaggerate his part he claims to have doneso in order to mix the tracks, to confuse the German authorities and toavoid "fingering" certain partners whom he made appear as negligiblein the scheme. He played this game as long as he could but his endgradually drew near. However, he is an imaginative fellow and hehit upon the idea of claiming that he had invented a very interesting motorthat would run without gas. The Germans, of course, could haveprofitably used such a machine at this point in the war and consequentlytook his offer into consideration and postponed his execution. As a resulthe bought time and shortly thereafter was liberated by the Americans.Through this experience the Subject has learned that it is very importantto know the weaknesses of authorities and to play these weaknesses againstone another. His emotions correspond to a joy of being the sole masterof the situation. He feels that if he were to find himself in this sort ofasituation-again that he would act in exactly the same way. Thisbehavior is typical of that of a con man. He has the capacity to controla situation in his own interest and to imaginatively talk himself out ofrather tight situations. This is an outstanding characteristicof his personality and consequently should be noted by his handlers.-11-
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 49]
However, it would appear to the examiner that there is more to this story than meets the eye. One would suspect that, since he obtained mild treatment at the hands of the Gestapo. he probably collaborated more than he is willing to admit at this time. It may be that he did not fool the Gestapo at all. It is quite possible that the Gestapo used him to pass on the authenticity of documents of other prisoners or in some other nefarious activity. If this can be established as true by other techniques then we are dealing with a person who places self-preservation above all else.The Subject also has a history of criminal activity in France after the war. At that time he was married and was the father of one child. He was working at a model-maker's shop and although he was not well off he was earning a decent living. According to the Subject a close young friend solicited his assistance in attacking a bank in order to finance an intended marriage. At first the Subject felt that the other fellow was crazy to dare to to attack a bank. He also claims to have had a twinge of conscience and asked himself the question, "Is it right to do harm by robbing a bank?" Furthermore, he never felt that a team of two partners would be able to attack a bank successfully. Apparently the other fellow was a fairly good recruiter. He reminded the Subject of his war activities and he was of the opinion that since the Subject had been able to accomplish certain illegal activities in the past that he would be quite capable of attacking a bank. He also displayed a confidence in the Subject's capability to invent a plan of attack and played on the Subject's love of risk, of his need for friendship. At each point in the developments the Subject tried to withdraw by saying: "If my mother learned of this, she would die." He postponed the job indefinitely. However, in the meantime his mother died and his friend felt that he no longer had an excuse. The Subject compromised by agreeing to knock over a jewelry store. Apparently they knocked over two jewelry stores for the sake of good measure. However, after having spent his money, the friend again returned with a proposition to attack the bank. The Subject told him: "You got your money for your marriage; now leave me alone." However, the friend had not married his intended, was broke, and was interested in financing another marriage. They agreed that this would be the last job. Afterwards, however, the other fellow apparently threw his money around and was arrested and squcaled.-12-
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 50]
The Subject claims that after he casually learned of his friend's arrest he fled to the Spanish border. He had not foreseen or had prepared himself for such a consequence and he implies a conflict as regards leaving France. In any event, he was captured and imprisoned. The question arises in this examiner's mind as to why the Subject either panicked or was awkward in his flight, if he did have a chance to flee. It may have been that he unconsciously wished to be caught and to be punished in order to relieve his guilt. He was ambivalent about attacking the bank. If this is true, then important consideration should be given to the Subject's personality as regards plans for the eventuality of his being captured in the course of the project.Subject feels that he failed badly when he was arrested both by the Germans and by the French. He feels that these two incidents were a consequence of of poor selection of friends and poor planning. If he were to find himself in the same type of situation again he would take all the necessary precautions in order to avoid the same pitfalls. When he was jailed by the French Police he was somewhat depressed by the facts that he had failed in his planning and also that he had greatly disappointed his relatives who looked down upon him as a noisy and rash fellow rather than as a man who was capable of carrying out a crime. This was quite a blow to his ego. However, his ego didn't collapse. There have been times in his life when he felt the entire world seemd to conspire against him and when everything seemed destroyed. He has always felt that there are ways to get out of a mess, principally by exerting his ego. He continues to believe that, unless a man is so weak, both physically and morally, it is always possible for him to get back on his feet or at least to hope that this is possible. Consequently, the Subject continues to believe that there is always a possibility to fight and to conquer. This optimism may be motivational in his present desire to affiliate with us.In the two projects which involved liberating French prisoners and attacking the bank, Subject claims that he was betrayed by another. However, he felt his betrayal was unimportant and consequently was not angry at these persons. Because he feels that there are certain moral values which he holds dearly, namely friendship, these persons lost his esteem but he was more in contempt of himself for having miscalculated. Although his mistakes have seriously reduced his circumstances of life, regardless of their size and consequences, he does not feel that they have discouraged him about future possibilities. "If there is a future, there is hope!" The Subject feels that he has never completely lost self-control
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 51]
and that he has always been a master of his actions at all times and that these actions could have been changed by his own volition. This attitude reveals his tremendous narcissistic investment in his own powers. As far as this project is concerned, it would be unwise to rely upon the Subject's judgements and it would be more prudent to plan every detail for him and require him to abide by directions. He is an imaginative executor but he is a very poor planner according to the testimony of his record. His actions are often impulsive and unreasoned. Such irrational behavior may take place in the context of a relationship with another person despite the fact that the Subject may actually have no particular responsibility to the other person except a tie of affection. The Subject is unable to explain this peculiar aspect of his personality and he is aware that any explanations which he might offer are not rational or sufficient. Consequently, this examiner conclude's, that his impulsivity and tendency to behave irrationally, and to his own disadvantage amounts to an unconscious determinent of his behavior and is not available to a rational analysis. His propulsion by an uncontrollable internal force is an important point of consideration as regards his utilization by this project.In summary the Subject's chief motivations for illegal activity appear to be the following:a. The Subject will apparently do anything for a friend or for a person in need.b. Subject's relish of novelty, excitement, derring-do and action. He is a Jesse James type.c. Emotional outlet as regards the Subject's desires to invent and to realize a success of an invention. The Subject is an inventor by virtue of his temperament and mentality and indulges himself in problem-solving behavior and apparently obtains a compulsive satisfaction if his idea's work out. In other words he is activated to carry out an action because of his displaced interest in successfully engineering and accomplishing a challenging task.-14-
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 52]
d. Material reward. As was mentioned before, material reward appears to be a means to social status. In the case of the bank robbery the friend obtained three-fourths of the take and the Subject was content not to spend his money freely in order not to arouse his wife's suspicions.e. Competition with authority. Apparently the Subject regarded the Paris bank as a symbol of authority and was motivated to compete with what this symbol represented. It may be that he did not actually wish to defeat the authority but that he wanted to obtain the attention of authority as he did in the school situation. He certainly accomplished this. The authorities are still paying attention to him. In fact they treat him as a "headstrong little boy", and are continually interested in what he has on his mind. Their interest, of course, is not therapeutic but one of prevention.f. Unrealistic optimism together with an exaggeration of his own powers may also motivate theSubject to engage in such activities. Unconsciously he may feel like David who was able to defeat Goliath by virtue of possessing aling-shot. One can just see him standing on a counter of a bank with drawn pistols and with the clientele being immobilized in a state of fear and surprise. The situation is so fantastic that it is corny. However, it is meaningful for the Subject and may partially explain his interest in writing detective novels. If one would read his novel he would obtain a very good picture of the Subject.g. The bank robbery may have represented the subject's expression of his feelings of freedom upon release from his mother through her death. She had always attempted to try to make him conform. His wife is apparently the same type of person as his mother and she proved it by rejecting him when she learned about his anti-social behavior.h. The Robin Hood concept, which was mentioned before may instigate the Subject to take from those in power and provide for those in need.
