He came to a unit stationed close to the BRANDENBURGER TOR, vis-a-vis to the French Embassy building, where he had to walt and drive a cab for eight hours the day. He lived in the same house in front of which their cars were stationed. re does not remember any names from the time of this training period. One of his co-drivers in this small unit was ROVIKOF.4C. David remained in this drivers unit in Berlin until,some three to four months later volunteers were called to go to France, as lorry-drivers to the West coast where the Atlantic Wall was being constructed. He volunteered, and 15 days later, together with other volunteers, he was sent to Paris.4l. In Paris they were given French-made Fords of five ton loading capacity (C U - charge utile). The convoy of some 50 cars, each with two drivers, started in direction to SAINT NAZAIRE. At the departure, still in Faris, close to Porte d'Orleans, one driver had an accidence: he could not take the curb, drove on the sidewalk, killed and damaged a few people, without damaging the car. David, who interpreted at the spot when the case was cleared, was ordered to take this car over, because the driver who just had the accidence, was not allowed to continue to drive immediately.42. The convoy was divided into three parts, with David going to the detaciment which was detailed to the Navy. Thiswas approximately at the time when the British made a mock landing or a demonstration of a landing..43. In 1943, still on the French West coast, the NSK men were ordered to take an oath. David refused, and as the consequence, was sent back to Derlin, guarded by two men, into a NSK penal or refractory camp.44. David asked the leader of this camp, an"Obersharführer" (equivalent to a .C.C.),/ later Davida changed the grade to "Hauptsturmführer" - equivalent to a Captain/, for permission to contact the Police Headquarters, for volunteering into the police service. The campleañer granted his six-hour leave to settle his employment with the police, or to face a tough deal because of his refusal to take the oath.45. David went to the Folice H.Q. at ALEXANDERE LATZ in Berlin, was accepted and given a note that he had registered for the service in the Police. He returned with this note to the S camp, and on the next morning he was released on ground of this note.undergo46. In the Police David had to take physical examination in a SS and Police hospital. ile was found fit physically and was sent into barracks of which he does not remember the aidress. iis grade in the police was "Rott-Wachtmeister - Dolmetscher" - something as the second-lowest grade in the ordinary police,

The "Dolmetscher" si-ply indi-cated that he was a foreigner, as the knowledge of languageswas the only reason why foreigners could be employed by thepolice. lie had nothing to do with interpreting or translating.They did some exercising and made centry duty at a largepetrol store. lis hours on duty were, by 24-hour spells: 1300to 1300, then off up to the next day, 0800 to Srand off upto the next day,1300, and so one for a week. In the next weekthe same pattern repeated, but the start being at 1000 h.47. In summer, during an exercise of physical training, a man    who had to catch David when he was coming down from a high    flight into which he was thrown by two men, the catcher got    frightened, backed out, David, as a concequence, fell to the    ground, and broke one arm, the elbow, and damaged the other    arm. He remained for some 40 days in hospital, the same in    which he had the physical examination when entering the police    service.48. When released from the hospital, he was given a convales-    sence certificate which kept him free of work. He had to go    periodically for checks and for renewal of this certificate.    After he had been for those checks and renewals for a few ti-    mes, he started to forge the signature of the physician and    "renewed" the certificate himself.49. During his stay with the police force in Berlin, and also    when he was "convalessing", he had a private room hired at    KURFÜRSTENDA 26, or "no. exactly" 26 - he said not the to    remember the exact number of the house.50. Then he got the idea to falcify a document releaving him    for a longer period of time from checks with the police unit.    This had to be a certificate showing that he had to undergo    a "surgical operation" which will take at least three months.51. He had a girlfriend, Asterée SCHMIDT-AZI-BADASSI, a half-    Azerbaijan, who was fluent in German and in French. David as-    ked her to put the medical certificate into good official    German. Then he forged the cachets and the signature of the    physician, the same who had written the renewals of his dis-    ability certificate.52. He presented this forged certificate to a clerk in the offi-    ce of his police unit. He was on good terms with the clerks    there, he was a "friendly foreigner" who joked and spoke abou    Paris. This clerk took a short look on the certificate, made    corresponding notes in his files, and this was enough for David    for the case that somebody would ask about his whereabouts:    he did not need to rely any more on the forged document: the    clerk had made an official entry into the books, and there    was no way to check, neither to doubt ix this entry.
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 151]
53. During those three months of "surgical operation" David get in contact will Frakli LORDIPALIDZE, a boyfriend of his sister Helen who worked with the East-inistry (Cst-iriste-rium). Irakly, who worked with the "SD" (Sicherheitsdienst,-Security Service), and who later married Helen, had just received order to go to Paris.54. David asked Irakli to give his travel document or order for a short time to him, so he could show those to his superior and to ask for similar ones. Irakli obliged. David photographed the documents - he had no intention to show those to his boss, he was going to make his own documents.55. is sister brought him some forms which were used in the Ost-Ministerium, and he collected others more from different offices.56. Thus, David prepared for himself a falcified travel document to Paris, signing it with the name of Police President RADEMANN. This name he has used on many documents in later times.57,7. Before using this document he checked it, or made a rehearsal with his girlfriend. ile gave the falcified document to the girl for inspection, and then, soon after this, he pushed his genuine police passport above the false paper, asking the girl about her reaction and findings. She said that she had understood that the first paper was a travel order, but she had not had enough time to read it through, in full. This, David explained, was the trick: one has to give the falcified paper first, and then, without giving the checker enough time for its study, insert an other, genuine doccument which would attire the attention of the checker, detract it from the falcified one.58. David used this trick with the controls and had a smoth journey to Paris.59. In Paris David contacted the engraver ALLCU, corner of the streets Due Pilies da Calvaire and Peawareciais. He asked Allou to prepare for his a seal of the German Leadquarters. The man consented after a short hesitation, after David had spoken of Frenchmen's moral duty to help other Frenchmen against the Germans. The same man made for David later many more seals and stamps of different German offices, like the Security Service, the East-Ministry, the Labor Office the Police ileadquarters and the travel permission stamp for the passports.60. By the intermediary of this ALLOU David let also be printed different forged letter- and order-forms of the above mentioned offices, in thousands of copies, sofar those did not have filigéee nets printed in. However, he personally was able
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 152]
to prepare by hand the filigree net if the document needed it.61. To the question of the debriefer concerning the expenses    of all this immense work, David explained that all this cos-    ted him over 100 000 French rancs. Later he changed this sum    to 140.00 to 150.000 F.Francs62. At first he made money by reselling golden watches of his    friends, as well as smother objects, receiving good gains.63. Then he had three friends in Berlin, French radio-engineers    who had been brought to compulsory works to Germany but later    released. The last names names of those Friends were: LUCAS, ALLUMES    and VILENAL. Lucas and Vilemain wanted to have traveldocu-    ments to Paris. The father of Lucas was a wealthy man in    Paris.64. When David was preparing for his own journey to Paris, he    let Lucas write a letter to his father, asking him to give    David 200,000 Francs. The father obliged.65. Besides, and e specially after he had his caches ready, he    earned plenty of money through his operations on the black-    market, buying coffe at the French-Spanish frontier for 50 Ger-    man Marks the kilogram, and reselling it in Berlin for 900 to    1200 Mark the kg.66. He personally had made 3 or 4 trips to the Spanish border    for coffee, and four other men have done this for him.67. Those trips were easy, especially the French part of them    on which were no special checks. For were the trips dangerous    because the luggage of military personnel was not searched,    and nor was the luggage of police force.68. When making and using these confeit seals, one had to pay    attention to the number of the unit in the seal which to use:    those numbers referred to the type of the work and the impor-    tance of the offices, f.i. "lc" woul show that the seal was    of an unimportant small office, whereas the right number to    use was perhaps three or four.69. Before letting LUCAS to use the forged papers, David wanted    to check the papers on somebody else.70. David had a half-Jew pal ATZ-DISHANN. His mother, born    HAAY, Hungarian, had married a Jew Katz, and later, in a se-    cond marriage Dissmann. A son from this first marriage was    now using the name of DISS, however, was urder the pressu-    re of a certain WERERT who knew of his Jewish origin.    Katz asked David to prepare papers for the Spaniard WERWERT    for an official trip to Spain. David agreed, however asked fe    two old genuine Spanish passports for this purpose.
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 153]
-18-71. He got the old passports, those could be easily bought on black market, and out of those two passports he made a new one for Werwert.72. David went into details in describing how he prepared the passport, especially how he exchanged the photograps which was fixed by groumets, and thus, could not be removed and simply replaced. He had to use plenty of skilled washing and master-photography for remouving the old image and replacing it by the new one without damaging the passport, nor the "photograph" itself.73. Werwert used the passport. He was instructed by Katz to report in Spain to a priest who was in contact with Katz. The signal from the priest came, Werwert had arrived without trouble. At this occasion Katz disclosed to David that Werwert was not a Spaniard, as pretended, but a Cerman.74. How David prepared the documents for Lucas and Vilemain: to report as specialists to the Labor Office in Paris.75. David had arranged with Lucas to acknowledge his safe arrival in Paris. The woman, in whose house the Lucas'es lived in Paris, was working in the German Commandantura in Paris. Through her David learned to know the name and the address of the family of a german soldier operator of the switch-board of the Comandantura in Paris. The family lived in Berlin. Some coffee was given to the soldier and he was urged to phone his wife in berlin and to tell that he had received some coffee for her. This was the signal announcing safe arrival of Lucas in Paris. David told that this signal was used in some ten cases.76. David had issued false travel documents to some 14 persons. One of them was a friend of Lucas in Berlin, whose name and home address were: Henry JOIGNY, 5, Rue Jaretti, Paris XV.77. Somehow David became an idea to join the "ABER" of the German Armed Forces, something more important and exiting than his previous activities. He had no good idea of the real scope and of the structure of the "Abwehr". He went to the house of "ANT AWEHR, OK" in the WILHELMSTRASSE. The porter at the entrance asked him to which branch he wanted to go. David toid "West" whereupon the porter had said that he should go to" West Finz (I West), and instructed him into which room to go. There David found an officer wo explained to him that the office had been moved to Ta, in POTZDA78. David went to Potzdam. It took him hours until he found TAKE, an area surrounded by barbed wire, heavily guarded, all guards being .C.Cs. He showed his police passport and asked to be brought to the chief of the guards. He was brou-

-19-brought to a Lieutenant who took him to a Colonel. The latter, having heard that David wanted to get employed, this means that he did not belong to the organization, got mad, did not believe that an unauthorized person could have penetrated so far, (into a top secret area), and asked how he learned about the place. David told his story. The colonel checked on phone with the police H. and got the reply that they have such a man. David, then was asked what he could do, his name was registered, and he was told that he will be contacted later.79. Through a chain of persons, linked to LUCAS, David got a request to prepare documents for a Belgian girl's journey to Paris. He consented.80. He met the girl, like many other persons, outside of his living place, on different places, and under good security precautions, f.i.: somebody entered the meeting place on his behalf and asked the person who was awaiting him to come out. David, was at that time out observing the environs, to see whether somebody would be surveilling his two persons. If them was no surveillance, then he followed his people, approached them in a safe place. He never brought them to his living place. But LUCAS and VILEMAIN had been to his quarters.81. Before he had finished the documents for the Belgian girl, he and ALLUMES had found after an airraid, an unexploded incendiary bomb. Allumes had explained that such a bomb, having not exploded when coming down, is harmless. They took the bomb to David's living place, and David, cautiously, tried to take out the capsule. The capsule exploded. The thumb and the fore- finger of his left hand were damaged, and Allumes got a splinter into his face. The landlady was mad: the fools are playing with bombs, ruining her hause which was saved in the airraid. She wanted to report them to the police, but David calmed her down, saying that he himself will report the case, he himself is a policeman, a.s.o.82. At the same time the Belgian girl happened to come and saw David injured. She showed no grief because of the paines caused to David and the loss of his fingertips, - she was angry that she could not have her papers and could, thus, not start her pleasure trip to Paris.83. It took injured David three days until the documents for the girl were ready, and an appointment was made to meet her in the ANHALTER BAHNHOF wherefrom the trains to Paris were starting after the Potsdamer Bahnhof was demolished. The meeting was fixed for 2200h.84. David went for the meeting together with ALLUMES, KATZ and ASTEREE. They found the station rather empty and they thought that they had come too early. But then David noticed the
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 155]
Belgian girl just at the platform gate. He approached her. She told David that he will be arrested immediately, and indeed, all around there came men with machine pistols ready. All but the Belgian girl were arrested, and hold separately. his was on 22 February 1944.85. David was held for a few days in a room chained by his right hand (the undamaged hand) to a heater. Nobody spoke a single word with him. He was brought some food like it is being made with a dog.86. ilis injured hand was not cared for at all and started to fester. when he lamented about this, he was transferred to a hospital where he was put into a large ward together with many more people.87. le noticed a telephone in the coridor of the hospital. He askedja coin from a Dutch patient and phoned to the Belgian gerl, asking her to bring him some civilian clothes. He still did not believe that this girl had betried him.88. The girl promised to come to see him the next day at 1000H. He sure, got a visit the next day at 10, but by guards who took him to the hospital in TEGEL jail. Now it was clear to David that the Belgian girl was in contact with the German police..89. From the Tegel jail he was daily taken for questioning to the police H.Q.90. A few months later, when his fingers had nearly healed, he was trensferred into a cellar of the police il..91. His questionning continued for nine months, with the sessions at first daily, then two to three times a week, later once in a week or biweekly. The charges were heavy: grave forgery, damaging the security of the state, demoralization of the foreign laborers, helping the POW to flee, and espionage (some photos of the bomb-damaged Berlin were found in his living place).92. Sometimes before his arrest, David had organized the move of his parents and sister from Berlin to Vienna, of course with forged traveldocuments, however, the family being not aware of the falcifications.93. After his arrest the parents came from Vienna to see him. He does not know whether they were brought by the authorities or did they come at their own initiative. The evidences of his crimes were displayed in the same room where he met his father. It was then that the father learned that he, David, had forged the traveldocuments for the move of the family, that there was no police president Rademann whose name the documents showed, that David had invented this name. His
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 156]
father was very much embarrassed94. During the interrogations David was asked many times for whom he did all those things, for which intelligence service nobody believed that a single person could have achieved so much without any big foreign service behind him.95. The police inspectors had hinted him that he would not escape the death sentence. To gain time, he wrote a letter to "00008" and reported an invention of his: a motor which worked without gas, - in those days, Germus being very short of gas, such an invention should attire attention.96. He was contacted and asked for details of his invention. He told something and requested better living conditions and focd, so he would be able to work on this invention. He also mentioned that some details of the invention are in Vienna and should be brought from there to Ferlin. (At that time Vienna was already occupied by the Russians). Later two specialists were sent to him, to check his information. They found that the idea was acceptable theoretically, and he was urged to continue to work on it.97. In connection with the approach of the front to Berlin, they, this means David, Katz and allumes, were transferred to WOLFENFUTTEL jail, near HANNOVER. He does not know what happened to Asterée.98. In Wolfenbuttel they remained for some three months, until the Americans freed them in April 1945.99. They went together to KASSEL Discharge Camp, wherefrom he and allumes went to Paris, whereas Katz went his own way.D. Additional explanations to the activities during WW II.1.  The photographs which David had made of the documents of Irakli Lordkepanidze were not good enough. So he had to enlarge the photos as much as he could, up to the size of a few square feet. He amelicrated the enlarging by some pencil work. Then he re-photographed the enlarging and produced new, good photos of the documents in the exactly right size of the original documents.2.  All the photographic lab work was done in his hotel room. He used two MINOXes and one CONTAX, and a French type enlarger with the objective of his Contax. The equipment costed him over 100,000 ( it was not specified whether French Francs or German Harks).
[104-10182-10004.pdf — page 157]
3. David's father needed money for his inventions. David gave him 100,030 D through a third person, his father not knowing from whom the money came. This was before David's "Journey to Brazil!"4. David had plenty of money, mostly earned by selling coffee on black market. Once he has bought in Berlin for ten kg coffee a car, an Opel.5. The Georgians in Berlin did not know of his doings and relations in Berlin much, although he fixed with the, nor did ADIA know anything and was puzzled by this. When arranging the wedding party of his sister, in Jay-June 1942, he asked Media for his car. The request was refused. David, then, hired 4 or 5 cars for a full day (paying with coffee), and it happened that Media saw him coming with his caravan of cars, loaded with vines and other good things which he had bought black for the feast. Media had asked him about the caravan, and David had replied that Media can now see that David can have as many cars as he just likes, although Nadia did not give his when asked.6. For the move of his parents from Berlin to Vienna David had reserved an appartment in the train, again using false documents. To this he said that it is difficult to get reserved a seat for one person in a train, but it is easier to reserve a full appartment of a car for one person, or a complete railroad car or train for a special reason, because the greater the request, the higher authorities make the request, the higher authorities decide the issue, the less effective is the factual check of the genuity of the request and of the documents by which the request is made.7. As to the motives of his not joining the Georgian Legion: He, David, does not feel being a Georgian, or too much of a Georgian. He hates the Russians in general, although he has nothing special against any particular Russian. The Russian communists he dislikes even more than the ordinary Russians. There was no real reason why he did not join the Media group- he simply disliked the idea. NOTE: this contradicts with his statements made during the first day of the debriefing, according to which he was ready to fight together with anybody (even with the devil's grandmother) against the communists.
