until such time as Subject re-enters training when his status will
revert to that as outlined in Reference a. (supervision by a staff

Status Report
November 1959 Cover branch assisted SR/DOB Case Officer
Fred 
Kirkpatrick in formulating 
cover under which AESE TINEL agent
AEASPIC could live and
and thus be 
released from 24-hour custody.
AEASPIC was documented 
under 
the name David Durvard and was so
registered by Alien Arfairs 
Staff. AEASPIC carries a cover letter
issued by Alien Affairs to 
this effect.
SR/DOB Case Officer Fred Kirkpatrick was documented (see below)
under 
the name Fred K. Koner, a self
-employed manufacturers repre-
sentative, presently engaged, 
with David Durvard, in adapting
certain American automatic 
coin-operated vending machines to the
French market, in particular 
in the Paris area. Mr. Durvard is
serving as Mr. Koner's 
engineer/technical advisor.
This arrangement has to date worked entirely satisfactorily,
and it 
is hoped will continue 
to function until about mid June, when
aforementioned cover arrangement 
should be discontinued owing to
resumption of operational 
training.

to perform, no bonus will be considered.

considered necessary to maintain your physical fitness and permit the
accomplishment of your assignments. Periods of hospitalization will necessitate
the suspension of salary for the duration of said hospitalization.

of our understanding by not attempting to perform your assigned duties,
your salary will be immediately terminated and you will be resettled in a
place to be decided by your superiors, without further compensation or
assistance.
6. Secrecy Clause
You will be required to keep forever secret the contract and
all information which you may obtain by reason hereof (unless released in
writing by the Government from such obligation), with full knowledge that
violation of such secrecy may subject you to criminal prosecution under the

Dear Atchico.
I've been thinking for an hour and I still don't know how to
begin. I can't say that as a brother I've especially been a blessing
to you, 
and often I've caused you more trouble than would have liked,
directly or indirectly. My leaving Gap was inevitable. On the one
hand because of the obligation to remain there until an indefinite
date, and above all because of
of 
the work I'm now doing which had been in
the offing for quite a while. My stay at Ambert had nothing to do with
my departure; it was only a business trip.
51.
If I had been able to write you sooner, I would have done so. Now
can, and as there are many things in suspense I would be glad to be
able to take them up where I've left them. I never expected you to bear
the price of actions; therefore, I'm counting on you to tell me whom
you paid for me, for I presume that most people immediately thought you
were responsible 
for my debts. As soon as you reply, I will immediately
send you the money to reimburse you, or, if need be, to pay the inter-
ested party.
If you didn't already know, I'm notifying you that Jacqueline is
first on my
I could very well have sent her the money today, but I
don't even know if this letter will arrive at the right address. It's
more than a year since I left you, and I'm making contact again.
what is here and there is no reason why she should be deprived of
Next on the list ther's you naturally, whom I do not forget. Lis-
ten, what I ask is that you wrtie me seriously, for your sake as well
as mine. Give me the list of these people in order of urgency.
When I left Ambert, I had left instructions to pay certain people,
and I don't know if this has been done. I'm going to write to the
Dassauds, in this way, perhaps, I'll know what has happened.
:
I've been here a very short time and have had a lot to do in the
past few months. Unfortunately I can't tell you where, when, or what
kind of work. I only ask that you have faith in me.
How is life at Gap? How are the girls, Elico and Irene? I would
be glad to receive a letter from them with a few pictures of all of
you, if possible. Many regards to Jacqueline with hopes that she and
hers are all well.

As far as "hers" are concerned, you know that I still have a pic-

she was.

1. Action has been initiated with the Immigration and
naturalization Service to permit the subject to remain in the
United States in a parole status for an additional six months'
period. This is the normal length of time for which such
paroles are granted. If necessary, at the expiration of six
months, assuming the conduct of the subject so warrants, steps
will then be taken to further extend his parole.
2. It is requested that this Office be provided with a
complete physical description of the subject, along with front
view and profile photographs. In addition, in order to satisfy
the requirements of the NS, it is felt that he should be
presented to an appropriate official of the I&NS for registra-
tion, which will include the taking of his fingerprints (for
submission to the FBI). This registration procedure and other
security aspects of his handling during his stay in the United
States should be discussed with a representative of this Staff
in the immediate future.
3. The request for a security approval for his utilization
by TSS is currently being processed in the Security Support
Division of this Office.

Office of Security Momo datod
18 September 1959
Purther consideration has been given to the
holding of subject agent in the U.S. prior to the
activation of his operation in the summer of 1960.
Maintaining him in a "hold" status abroad, probably
in Germany, was also c
so 
considered. The nature and
sensitivity of the operation with which subject
will be connected makes preferable a holding
status as close to Headquarters as possible.
Employment in a Headquarters element would provide
day-to-day supervision and make possible periodic
operational contacts to review questions of
security, morale, and now operational developments.
2. berefore, SR Division solicits the
support of the Office of Security in making it
possible for us to hold the agent in the U.8.
during the next year, making the necessary
arrangements with the Attorney General.

SR/DOB Memorandum dated 14 September 1959
1. The subject is an alien who, at the request of SR/DIV
(for the purpose of Redsox training), was parolled into the U. s.
into the custody of the CIA in April 1959.
2. According to the referenced memorandum, the subject's
training for this purpose has been suspended until about
1 August 1960, when it will be reinstituted. This delay, it
is understood, is due to the fact that his proposed mission
has been postponed until late 1960.
.3. It is observed that SR/DIV proposes that the subject
'be permitted to remain in the U. S., without being in custody,
until his training is reinstituted in late 1960, and, in the 1
interim, his services will be utilized by TSS. It is also
noted that the subject has, in the past, been convicted of
robberies abroad; has engaged in various nefarious activities
and that his knowledge of the English language is limited.
4. Although recognizing that the subject is undoubtedly
a likely candidate for the Redsox program, and further, that,
psychologically, it might well be preferable for the individual
to feel that he is not in an "arrest" category, still, this
office is reluctant to place in jeopardy the arrangements made
with the Attorney General by CIA, whereby individuals otherwise
excludable can be brought into the U. S. for training or for
other operational purposes.
5. It is felt, consequently, that further consideration
should be given to the necessity for keeping AEASPIC in the U. S.
during the period he is waiting for his training to be commenced.
147-252477

In the event after full consideration, it is still deemed essential
that he remain in this country during the interim period, it is

ATTENTICH
SUBJECT
Mr. Richard Hanna'
Request for ZI utilization of agent, ABASFIC
1. Background:
Subject was brought i
on 20 April 1959 for traini the United States via BRAINBOW fight
after which he was to have been dispatched
which he was
on a black mission into the US as a member of a team during late
1959. CI/CA Division approved (No. C-73532) on 11 March 1959. The
proposed nision was recently postponed until late 1960, and it is
presently contemplated that subject will re-enter training for the mission.
about 1 August 1960.
2. Inasmuch as considerable time, effort and expense have been
devoted to the recruitment and training of the agent, who appears wall
qualified for the mission, it is desired to retain his during the interin
in a productive capacity. Due to his rather unique background and
capabilities, it is believed he could be employed in a useful capacity
by TSS.
3. In view of the foregoing, it is presently planned to release
subject from the present 24-hour custody, permit him to reside in an
apartment in Washington, D.C. under alias, and work on a daily basis
for officns in an established (TSS) covert site. The work tentatively
planned for him involves cataloging specific information taken from East
German documents, and developing and/or improving tools and methods for
picking locks. Although 233 might present other related requirements,
subject's employment would not involve work which would preclude his
eventual use as a RFD30X agent.
4. By separate menoranda, CI/CA Division has been requested to
suspend subject's CA until he resumes training, and 06/Alien Affairs Staff
has bean requested to coordinate with Immigration and Naturalization
office concerning subject's proposed status and documentation.
5. Your approval of paragraph 3 above is requested.
6. For further information on this subject, please contact
Mr. Perry Creokhan on extension 8331.

Mr. Ray McCornon
Request for suspension of CI/CA No. C-73532 (AFASPIC)
As reported teleponically to your office, it is presently
planned to utilize subject agent in the Washington, D.. area, under
alias,
from the present time until early sumer, 1960. 
Subject will
be working on a daily basis for TSS offices in an established (
TSS)
covert site. The work tentatively planned for him involves cataloging
specific information taken from East German documents, and developing
and/or improving tools and methods for picking locks. Although T33
may present other related requirements, subject's employment will not
involve work which would preclude his eventual use as a RFDSOX agent
.
2. By separate memoranda, authority for utilizing subject in this
ZI employment has been requested of CS/35D, and 05/Alien Affairs 
Staff
has been requested to coordinate with Immigration and Naturalization
Office concerning subject's proposed status and documentation.
3. It is therefore requested that subject's Operational Approval
be suspended, to be reactivated upon request about 1 August 1960, at
which time subject will re-enter training for the originally planned
REDSOX mission.

David is very intelligent and shows an interest in doing a good
job on his assignment. Is cautious, out spoken, and desires to talk over
any requirements given to him in writing. He diplomatically assums
leadership and discusses aspects of problems with his partner Al. He also
was very interested in the subject of Map and Compass and personally
thanked me for the interests showed in their questions.
Al is also very intelligent and he, I think, respects Davida age and
knowledge and accepts Davids leadership. However, if he does not fully
understand Davids comments, he questions David until he is satisfied in
his mind that what David is doing is right.

Subject was being considered for use in a sensitive position and, in view
of Bubject's complicated life history, it was felt necessary 
to check out
certain portions on the polygraph. The primary interest 
was to polygraph-
ically determine whether the events in Subject's life history, from 
ap-
proximately 1940 on, had actually occurred; whether Subject was fabricating
in order to deliberately deceive the Americans because he was an 
opposition
agent, or whether he was exaggerating in order to make himself 
appear more
suitable.
3. On 23, 24, and 25 March 1959 Subject was interviewed and poly-
graphically examined in the French language, on the premises of a safe
house in Paris, France. Subject was very cooperative 
throughout the 
in-
terviews and readily submitted to polygraph examination.

3. From 1935 to 1936 Subject attended the school of "Arts and Metiers"
at Chalons-sur-Marne for approximately one and one-half years. He was ex-
pelled from this school because of a childish prank. Subject and several
his friends had gone into a forbidden arca in the attic where they were ex-

years, and Subject almost made it all the way. Subject stated that
good student in those courses in which he was interested, but he would
never submit to discipline or authority from individuals for whom he had
no respect and no liking. This ended Subject's formal education.
16. When Subject was in his teens he got into difficulty with the
French Police on several occasions. When he was approximately 15 years.
of age, Subject and his mother had gone to a hotel in Paris, and during a
routine check of identity papers it was established that Bubject's identity
card had lapsed, and he was taken to the police precinct in order to ex-
plain the circumstances. Subject was accompanied by his mother, who prom-
ised to the police that this would be attended to immediately.
7. When Subject was approximately 16 years of age, he stole a dic-
tionary from a book store. He was apprehended by the clerk who called the
police, and Subject was taken to the local precinct. A call was made to
Subject's mother, and Subject was released in his mother's custody. No
restitution was necessary, since the book had been taken back by the clerk.
8. When Subject was 17 years of age, he and a group of his friends
had gone to Pobinson in order to go horseback riding. They were late in
returning the horses and started galloping in the streets of Robinson in
order to get back to the riding stable. The local gendarme stopped them
and charged them with some infraction having to do with disturbance of the
peace. Subject stated that three years later, he returned and paid a 900
franc fine.
9. When Subject was 19 years of age, he spent 12 days in jail in
Paris. This was due to an infraction of the French registration ordi-
nances for foreigners, during the days prior to the start of World War II.

CRET
The French had instituted a special means of control for the non-French
citizens residing in France, and Subject had neglected to get the proper
documents. Subject stated that these were the only brushes with the French
Police that he had while he was a youth.
10. Regarding his Army career, Subject stated that in 1939 he vol
teered for service in the French Foreign Legion. Be stated that he had
registered, with his class, for Army service but had never received a
notice to report, and this was the reason for his volunteering in the
Legion. Subject went with his group to Tunisia,
he was assigned to

This company saw no action, and in June 1941 Subject was separated from the
Legion, which was then considered as part of the French Army.

France, where he was issued 800 francs and given a travel order to proceed
home to Paris. When Subject arrived in Paris, he was required to go to the
gendarmerie on Boulevard Exelams, which was the demobilization center for
the Paris area, where he was issued an additional 200 francs and officially
taken off the rolls of the French Army. Subject stated that this was the
time of completo disorganization in France, due to the recent defeat by
the Germans, and the beginning of the occupation.
13. The French Army official, with whom Subject spoke regarding the
possibility of obtaining employment, advised Subject to go to the French
Military Intelligence. Subject stated that he obtained the address, which
ho could not recall at this time, and attempted to get in touch with the
proper individual. Subject was unsuccessful and was given the "run around."
Failing this, Subject returned home and lived at the family residence at
#28 Rue Cabanis (this number has now been changed to #36). Subject attempted
to lock for employment, but he was unable to find any type of work.

to Poelitz-Stettin to work in a factory, where he would be receiving one
mark per hour (which was then equivalent to 20 francs). Subject signed a
contract for a period of one year, and he received a travel order to proceed
to his destination.

volunteers were loaded aboard a special train and proceeded into Germany.

in 
Berlin. In 
Berlin Subject took the train to Aachen, where he met
several other individuals 
who intended to cross the frontier and return
to France

be was told to go

to proceed, on

not consult the German

The factory manager used this incident as a pretext 
to have Subject trans-
ferred.
22. Subject was assigned to work as an electrician in another factory
in Berlin, which was engaged in the manufacture 
of belts for machine guns

that Subject was a great German patriot.

Sometime during the spring of 1943, Subject and Pascal returned
and both decided that there was no point in remaining in France under
the German occupation, and they made plans to to Brazil. They took the
train and proceeded to the Spanish border, arriving in the town of Hendaye.
They crossed into Spain through a mountain trail, and attempted to exchange
their French francs into Spanish pesetas. They were unsuccessful, were

to France, where the German Grenz Polizei, which Subject believes were non-
bers of the Wehrmacht, arrested Subject and Pascal and lept then under
guard for a period of approximately four days. During this time, they were
wildly interrogated, and a check was made to see whether they were wanted
by the German Police. After four days, they were released and taken under
guard to the Hendaye Railroad Station, and were told to buy tickets to
Paris, which they had indicated as their residence.

changed their tickets for another destination, and got out at the town of
Pau. There they proceeded, on foot, to Holcon on the border of Vichy.

that they (Subject and Pascal) wanted to join the Foreign Legion. At the

In Marseilles, Subject and Pascal made a faux pas. They showed their
German passports, and the attitude of the French changed. Pascal indicated
to the French authorities that he would volunteer as a worker in Africa,
and Subject stated that he would return to Paris. Subject want to Lyons

ever, all this came to nothing because Subject was not properly equipped
at this time.
28. It was at this time, in late 1943, that Subject saw how easy it
was to go back and forth between Germany and occupied France. Since be
had a passport Subject was not stopped between the two countries, and in
order to insure free travel be made himself a permanent travel order.
This be obtained through Georgian friends, who ware working in various
German ministries. Subject's knowledge of photography was very helpful.
29. 8ubject's friends, noticing that he seemed to go back and forth
at will, began to charge him with small comissions. He would take coffee
and various other foodstuffs, which were scarce in Germany but easily ob-
tained from Spain, through devious channels. Subject would either deliver
for sell the products to certain individuals in Germany, and would keep a
certain percentage of the money for himself. Subject quickly became aware
Sub-
that he could make more money if he could obtain the items self.

trips back and forth from Paris to the Spanish border. They would bring

various German ministries usually used any available paper. Occasionally
there was a terra, and in that case, Subject reproduced the watermarks
first photographing the document, washing the watermark, which usually
consisted of vavy lines, from the negative, then Subject would make another
negative and wush off everything but the watermark. Subject went so far
as to actually engage in substituting photographs on passports.
31. Subject stated that he would buy passports, which were passports
of foreigners working in Germany, and substitute pages where necessary,
and the photographs were handled in the followin; manner. Subject stated.
that the photographs in these passports were attached by Deans of notal
clasps to the passport page and, therefore, could not be very well removed.
Subject would, 1 stead, remove the gelatin from the photograpavery carce
fully by using a very mild diluted acid, such as acetic acid, first putting
a little wax on to the clasps so that they would not be eroded by the acid
and placing blotter paper under the photograph. Miis
a solution would
dissolve the gelatin emulsion, and Subject would remove it from the photo-
graphic paper. Next, he would take the photograph of the new owner of the
passport aul, by using steam or warm water, he would soften the emulsion
and then carefully lifting it off the paper, using tweezers and little
sticks of wood, Subject would transpose the emulsion into the photographic
paper of the passport. Subject stated that this was an extremely delicate
operation, and required long and careful practice on his part.
32. During the above procedure the photograph was slightly distorted,
and occasionally the emulsion would absorb too much water and would over-
flow the bounds of the original photograph. In that case, Subject would
trin the edges to fit properly. Subject stated that one corner of the
photograph would usually be stamped by the validating office, and if the
catchet was in ink, the ink would remain on the paper when Subject lifted off
the old emulsion. This ink would show through the new emulsion, and on
cursory examination it would be impossible to distinguish whether the ink
was over the cmulsion or uider the emulsion. If the catchet were of the
impression type, there would be no problem whatsoever since it would show
through the new emulsion very readily.
33. Subject stated that he obtained for himself a Rumanian diplomatic
passport which he bought, through a girl friend, frim a Rimanian at the
Rumanian Embassy in Berlin. Sabjeet bought this passport for 1000 marks,
and he used it only while he was traveling in Berlin. In effect, Subject
assumed an entirely new identity whenever he stepped into his car since
the registration and driver's license were all made out to conform with the
name on the passport. Since 3 bjuct's car was registered in the name of
an employee of a foreign embassy, Subject was entitled, as a diplomat,
to a larger cas ration.

marketing operations. IEGELSTEIN had managed to conceal his Jewish back
ground 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 falso travel order, which Bubject did.
37. Subject advised that he was successful in this work because each
German ministry issued its om travel orders, and there was no means of
double chocking; first, the difficulty was too great to double check the
temporary duty travel orders; secondly, the unsans were extramaly re-
spectful of
of 
official looking documents; thirdly, because of the low
mentality of personnel at chock points; finally, because the passporta
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 poople, some of them reciprocated by helping him with
his blackmarket operations.
39. 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 commications. VILLEMAN, tho French: prisoner of war

purpose of setting up the radio station. LUCAS was also instrumental in
ringing about Subject's downfall. LUCAS had met a young lady in Berlin.
She was a Belg national and suid that she had a fiance in Paris whom
she had not seen for some time. She asked for help in going to Paris,
and Subject was to meet her in the Cafe Truf in Berlin. Bubject eventually
met her and told her that he (Subject) would make her some false documents
to enable her to get to Paris. A meeting was arranged for the next day, at
which time she was to bring a passport and a photograph and transmit to Sub-
Ject. She did not show up at the appointed hour and place. Subject waited
for a short time and then went to the railroad station, accompanied by his
girlfriend, Astree SCHMIDT (HR-LRD), and his partner in blackmarket activ-
ities, KATZ. The platform was empty, except for the girl Subject was to

German Police converged on the platform where Babject, SCHMIDT, and KATZ

munition, inks, printing equipment, camerus, and various paraphernalia

cident on his hand. He had found a small phosphorous bomb and was un-
scraving the detonator, when it blew up and cut off several of Subject's
fingers. At the police station, Bubject was treated, medically. Subject
was interrogated for a period of approximately eight months. In the
beginning, he was interrogated every day, and he admitted to the following
crimes: Subject stated that he did engage in making false documents and
that he was endangering the security of the German Reich, and was charged
by the police with espionage and of conducting intelligence with the
encry. Subject did not specifically admit to these two charges, but kept

to death, but before the sentence could be carried out Subject vas liberated

See, Hanover, and Wolfenbutten. Bubject stated that be believes the plans

to the rapid Soviet advance, and luckily 8.bject found himself in an area
which was overrun by the American Army, in the middle of April 1945. After
liberation, Subject and the other prisoners were sent to a camp in the
vicinity of Kassel, from which they were to be repatriated to France.
However, living conditions were extremely difficult, and Subject and several
friends decided to go out on their own. They occupied a deserted villa on
the outskirts of Kassel. Subject brought in electric service by utilizing

who had a decomiting firm, and after his ake P with ADAM was resmed,
ADAM convinced Subject that it was easy to

beries. Subject at first refused to participate, but then agreed because
of his friendship for ADAM and because of the excitement. The first rób.
bery was committed in carly 1949. Subject used a broken revolver, into
which he inserted wooden bullets which he had whittled. This robbery
was so successful and so interesting that the two partners decided to con-
mit another robbery of the same type: This is also successful, and they
attempted a third one. The targets for all of these robberies vere Jewelry
shops. The third robbery was unsuccessful, and Subject wanted to go back
to an honest life. Subject was, at this time, happily married, and was
afraid that his wife might find out about his activities. However, ADAM
threatened that if Subject did not work with him on another robbery, he
(ADAM) would tell Subject's wife about the prior robberies. Subject
agreed to participate in one more escapade, and in June 1950 they com-
mitted a successful robbery on the Bank "Credit de 1' Quest" on the
Boulevard Hausmann in Paris. The proceeds of the robbery were split by
the two, and very shortly thereafter ADAM was apprehended by the French
Police because of his wild spending. Under interrogation, ADAM admitted
to the robberies and implicated Subject. Subject was apprehended by the
French rolice, while he was on the French-Spanish border. He was brought
back to Paris for trial, and was sentenced, on 5 January 1953, to seven
years at hard Labor. He was released on 19 December 1955 for good be-
havior. This is on record with the French Police and was not discussed
at length with Subject..

Weight:

Eyes:
Black balk headed
120 lbs.
Dark Brown
Distinguishing marks:
Physical Condition:
Missing first joints of right thumb and right
first finger. Hears moustache (black)
Subject 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, i.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.
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 leam English, so the undersigned accommodated him. A
35 cent Cardinal edition of "English thru Pictures" was purchased for hin
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"

thing which hinders him is his lack of confidence.
take care of his improvement.
5. General Remarks:
Time will probably
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). Es
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 the
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 an
and 
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..
and
Whenever the undersigned went for a walk with Dave, usually before
I 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.
At
Dave was assured that this sounded somewhat irregular, the undersigned
felt that he must have been told something womewhere along the line.
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
Tome 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 a 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 him for he had to try and adjust, so as a result more time was
expended on adjusting than watching TV. He was quite irked because he felt
that the TV was malfunctioning.

because the participants spoke very slowly
and he could understand the language.
Periodically, Dave would cuestion the undersigned on schedule for the
lay and when told what it would be it seemed that he would fail to hear
hat was told to him and later on would propose the same question. Dave did
not ke the icea 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:
Chroughout the course.
Dave did not seem 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.
times when ne 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 out is concerned more about "der Tat." what
he was driving at was to try to elicit what information he could regarding
to fulfill once training is
the work that he will be required or expected, this naturally would follow.
Dave was assured that

only after the completion of the training, then he would be informed by
the people soncerned 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 supper, 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.

Miscellaneous:
Subject failed to give any information about a sousin of his who is
residing in the U.S.A. Subject told the debriefer that this information
was already passed to George.

Date of birth: possibly 2nd February, year unknown.
Profession

Historical background: Tzitzichvili was the second-largest

. One area in Georgia is called after this
family. Simon has 
the title of "Count". He is one of the two
pretenders 
to the Throne of Georgia, the name of the second
pretender being BAGRACION.
In 1921 Simon, together with his wife and three children,
fled 
from 
Georgia via Turkey to France. The family remained
for two weeks in 
Marseilles, and moved then to Paris.
. They were wealthy then. Simon took a hosiery shop. Later
things went worse, and 
Simon for a while was a taxi driver.
Still later he 
tried with some inventions, but had no material
success. In 1942 he went 
to Berlin, in connection with one of
his inventions. Later his 
wife followed him. David went to
14-00000
Germany before the father wens sister went to Berlin
probably in 1941/1942 (no
statement about this).
In 1944 Simon, his wife and their daughter moved from Ferlin
to Vienna, Austria. In 1946 they came back to Paris, together
with their son-in-law. In 1948, after the mother had died,
Simon, together with the daughter and the son-in-law returned
to USSR.
Fron
USSR Simon has writtenmone letter in which he had a sked
for literature concerning "the cold" what made David to think
that he is dealing with the problems of refrigeration.
According to the informations received from Mathe KERESSELIDZE
Simon lived in 1958 in TIFLIS.
Mother: Marie, née KANTCHELI, of Gergian origine.
The date of birth, 2 February, might have been hers or father
year of birth-unknown.
She poisoned herself in Paris, in 1958, in connection with
Simon's talks of going back to USSR: she did not like to go,
especially because the sons refused to go.
5. Sister: Helen, nickname: Elico, the oldest in the family.
Born: 1 May 1915, in GROZNY.
During WW II she went from Paris to Berlin, where she worked
for six month in the East-Ministry (Ost-Ministerium)..
In 1942, probably in May, she married in Berlin a Georgian,
Irakli LORDKIPANIDZE, who at that time worked with the German
Security Service. "Sicherheits Dienst" (SD).
In 1944 she, together with her parents, moved to Vienna, Aust-
ria, where the husband joined them later.
They had two children, both sons: Nodar, born in 1945 in Vienna
and Dimitry, born at the end of 1947, in Vienna.(?).
Nodar's nickname is TSITSCU.
In 1946 (?) the family returned from Vienna to Paris (together
with Helen's parents):
In 1948-49 they returned, together with Simon, back to the
USSR (Note: presumed together with their children, although
David did not mention the children).
According to the information received from Mathé KERESSE-
LIDZE,in 1958 he has seen Helen in Moscow and she had told
him that she is working in Tirlis in quality of a teacher of
languages. She had been detained for five years (1952-1957)
in a camp or closed town because she had said something on
the address of Stalin, in fact nothing bad, but this was mis-
understood and falsely reported to the authorities. She was
vindicated after Salin's death, and she even was paid the sa-
lary retroactively for the time she had been detained.
6. Brother: Achilles, nickname: ATCHICO..
Born: 17 July 1916, in BORZHOMI, Georgia.
Occupation: Architect, selfemployed, associated with two other
architects: Georges LONGUIN and fnu ROQUES, all three having
their office in GAP, Deptm Hautes Alpes, France, corner of
Rue Pasteur and Rue de France. In the firm Achilles uses

a new last name: DE PANASKHET, which he has taken sometimes
in 1946 or 47. Panaskhet is the name of the village in Geor-
gia where the family had its origine.
The official full version of Achilles name is now:
TZITZIC VILI dit De PANASKHET.. For his children the full
name is but: De PANAS GIT.
During WW II Achilles was an officer in the French Army,
in Africa and in Germany,
In 1944 Achilles married athela JOHDAKIA, a daughter of
the former President of the Republic of Georgia (1917–1921).
They are divorced now. Of their three daughters two, both
born in Paris, are living with the father: Maria-Helene (14)
and Irene (12. Catherine (6), born in Gap, is living with the
mother, who,since 1959, is remarried. Her second husband is
a physician, Dr. Louis ELECT. The last name of this physician
was formerly BORREAU. He changed it because of the bad mea-
ning bourreau = the hangman.
Cousin Mathé KERESSELIDZE, who had joined the Germans du-
ring WW II and was parachuted to USSR. He was captured there,
sentenced to 15 years of hard labor (1943-58) and was then
allowed to repatriate to France, where he arrived some six
months to one year ago. Now he is in Stuttgart, Germany.
Before returning to France he has occasionally met in Moscow
Helene who had told him of herself and of her father (see
items 3 & 5). (NOTE: Asked by the debriefer, whether Helene
had said to Mathé something about her husband, David mentio-
ned having heard nothing about Irakli. He explained this by
the bad relations between Helene and Irakli: the initial big
love had faded soon. No questions were asked about the child-
ren of the couple.)
Cousin Leo or Leon KERESSELIDZE, a brother of Mathés.
His nickname is: LOULOU.
Father of Leo and Mathé KERESSELIDZE. He was mentioned by
David together with Leo. His address, possibly common with

javiù´s childhood:
1. David does not remember about the kindergartens ne had been
in.
He has visited 15 differnt schools.
3.
The first school, he remembers, was NOTRE DAME, a Catholic
boarding school in Boulogne sur Seine, where he remained for
two years (4 to 6 years of age). His brother went to the same
school. The oldest of the students were up to 18 years, making
their bacalaureate.
David remembers the names of Père REGIDAULT, the assistanc
director; two teachers, sisters ademoiselles CAGNIET;
Frehel PEILE - one of the neighbors in the dormitory;
De BASSONPIERRE, a pupil of a higher class, was shot during
the war as a collaborateur"; an other pupil: Le CUDONEC.
The pupils wore navy-type uniforms with a coat of arms on the
sleeve showing the letters "ND" (Notre Dame).
of the events he remembers that he could not climb a pole
because his arms were too short, he could not hold himself
tight. Once he saw a blood-stained chair in the school's
dining-room: the director had shot at and wounded during the
night a thief. Once his hair got twisted or pinched between
the bars of the bed; he thought that somebody was under the
"bet and was pulling him on hair.
The family lived at that time at Rue Poussin, later at
Quai de Tokio, which is now called Quai des Etats Unies.
He and his brother were taken to the school normally by taxi
on Sunday night, and brought home on Saturday after the les-
sons.
In connection with the change of the living place he chan-
ged to Lycée Montaigne, Rue Guynemer, when he was 7. He at-
tended the 8th grade, the grades being: 12-the lowest, 1
the highest.
There he remembers a teacher Mr.DIREMER (pronounced æðra),
who had yellow spots on his hands. He is dead now. He had
a son. He also remembers a girl in this school, Genevieve
DRUMOND who was sitting immediately before him. He liked
the girl very much, but did not dare to show his liking, sauf
by pulling her on hair. They went together to this school up
to the 7th grade.
The next school was "L'Ecole Communale", Rue Littrée, corner
Rue Vaugirard. David's brother went to the same school.
David remembers a teacher Mr.SATARELLI whose nickname was
TETINARD.. A pupil SANTEX was good in gym. The father of
a Jew had a curiosity shop, the boy's name was Joachim.
At this time David's father had already given up his hosiery
shop and was working as a taxi driver of a company-owned car.
5. When David was 8 or 9 years of age, the family moved from
Paris to VIROFLAY, some 3 km from Versailles. The move was

David and his brother went to

In Viroflex David lerned to know a boy, Jean ADAM, 6 months
older than he himself Jean was 
the single son of the direc-
tor of the perfume export house ORL 
David had a fight in
woods with Jean after he had got a 
stone drown by Jean on his
head. They were good friends later
.

David and Jean grounded a "secret club". They built an
Escimo igloo and made fire in it. The igloo 
took fire 
and
ignited the surrounding field and 
forrest. The boys fled.
David went home
.
The fire-brigade had to battre the fire
.
He did not say anything to his father about his part in the
brand: he explained his red face 
by much running when 
playing
Later the police came . David's 
fault was detected, his fa-
ther had to pay the damages, he had not enough 
money for this
.
7.David's father had, by this time, given up taxi driver´s job.
He was working on different 
inventions. He was sure he had
discovered petrol fields in France, 
but he was not believed
.
He invented a device for authomatic 
replay of records; he
asked for 90% of the inte but 
was offered 40; only.
Father had a movie projector with which 
David was 
not alloveć
to play. Thus, David construed his own 
projector and showed
it to the father. Father was 
thrilled, and allowed David 
to
use his (father's) projector. David 
did, and broke it.
7a. In this school David made munk nonsencex. He thinks that the
reason for this was the need 
to show up: he was small and his
name made the French children laugh 
and mock him. He wanted
to show that he was a full guy. He 
got his third reprimand

when he planted a cracker in
the school and a teacher fell into the bassin of the rest-
room when the cracker exploded. An other 
pupil, Ramon 
GOELITZ
had seen him planting the cracker and 
had reported this.
8. In Viroflex, neighboring to the house where David lived,
resided ten single Georgians who had 
made some resistance
to the Russians during WWI or 
after this. David used to
visit those men, he was something like a 
mascot of theirs
.
They had a dog and an ape. They 
taught David some small 
trick:
Six of the men were working as 
taxi drivers for the sub-
sistence of all the group. One stood at home
, cooking for 
all,
and one,
Kakhutza TCHOLOKASHVILI
, was the boss. David re-
members some names or nicknames of them: CHCOHOU, SACHIKO,
GARGARETHELI, SERGO (died), COLA.

After having been thrown out from the Lycée Hoche, Dawid was
sent to a communale school in viroflex, some three kilometers
away from their home. He was given morey for the street car,
however he did not take the car he used the money to buy what
he needed for his silly things and acts.
10. At the end of the term David was taken back to the Lycée:his
mother,
probably, had asked for this, and had given some maney,
-one can do everything with money. e remained in this school
until they moved back to Paris, to Vanves.

12.
David's contact with Jean Adam continued up to the beginning
of the war. David has never abtruded himself to him. He follo
wed many plans of Jean, although he was sure that he could have
made better plans. The parents of David and Jean had nothing
in common, although they knew one-another. However, it happe-
ned that Jean always lived somewhere in the vicinity of David,
and when Tzitzichvili-s moved to Paris Vanves, Jean lived near
the Parte rançon.
In Vanves David was sent to Lycée Michelet. After six months
he was thrown out. They were served some vegetables in this col-
lege at lunch times. Once a plate with vegetables was caught
by a pupil when this was upon to fall down, and the catcher
was glad. David, however, took the plate and deliberately threw
it to the floor, brook it. The supervisor came and asked how did
this happen. David told the truth, and was thrown out of the
school.
13. Then David, 13 or 14, was sent to a community school. There he
had to take a test to get the "Certificat d'Etuded" He took the
first, written part of the test, and after it, during the lunch
time he got so fascinated by a bricklayer's work that he star-
ted to help the man, also because he has promised 10 Francs for
this. When he later inquired about the time, he learned that
he was already late for the oral part of the test. So he did
not go for it: he continued to work, to earn the promised pay.
However, he was paid nothing, and he was thrown out from the
school.
14. The parents sent him for another communal school in the same
area. There he had a fight with an other pupil who threatened
him with a knife. David forced the knife from him and threw it
away. The knife stuck high in the wall of a house. The other
boy reported the case making him, David, looking guilty, and
he was thrown out of this school as weli. He remembers that in
this school there was a pupil who had a device in his mouth to
adjust his teeths, and the boy used this device to make queer
noises..
15.
Then David was sent to a professional school,"art et Métier",
in Chalon sur Marne. At this time his parents were living some-
where to the east of Paris. There David remained for 1,5 years
and again, was thrown out because he, instead going to classes
went to the attick of the building and practiced there

On one such a case the trio decided to for 
drinks in a 
tavern.
They had all together 13 Francs and some sous. Everybody was
bragging with his experiences with women, and it was 
decided
to have women. However, Tellier, the youngest 
backed out, and
so did inzini. But ne, David, to show his manliness

then
he had a kind of mixed feelings toward the women, shiness,

of them for three years since then.
17.
His father was agry with him because he again was thrown
out of the school. Father told that he is good but for 
a
hog-heard. But, nevertheless, he was sent to an 
other 
school,
Ecole Breguet, for electrotechnicians, in 1937.
But, there,also, he was thrown out.
18. Thereupon he left the parents home, lived for three months

Period of II
In December 1939 David reported in Paris to a depot of the
French Foreign Legion for voluntary service in the Legion.
15 
days later he was sent to Lion, and from there, after one
week stay, to Marseilles. From Marseilles he was shipped to
Oran
, and further sent to Sidi-Bel/Ables in Algier, then to
Tunis, Sous to the First Cavalry negiment. There Lieutenant
De WARREN 
sent him to courses for N:C:Os
But soon ar order was received to send all legionnaires-
Georgians to EARCARES where special units had to be formed of
diferent nationalities. At about 110 Georgians, and thousands
of legionnaires 
of other nationalities were sent to Barcares.
They remained idle, doing but very little exercising.
3. After the German-French hostilities ended, those foreign-
legionnaires 
were returned from Barcares to Paris and dischar-
ged, including David. He went back to his parents.
He looked for work. A Georgian had recommended him to go to
Germany 
where a Georgian 
Legion was being formed for the fight
against 
the Soviets. Archilles GUEDEVANICHVILI was said being
gathering people for this purpose. David's father told him
that a Georgian NEDIA 
is the man who organizes this in connec-
tion with the 
Germans. David went to this man, had a talk
with him, but 
did not like the idea.
5. Then David reported to the German Labor Office in Paris, vo-
lunteering 
as an electrician for work in Germany. He was sent
to POELITZ, near STETTIN, HIDRYER WERKE, with a contract for
one year.

(NOTE: here the story is confused: as the debriefer recollects,
David spoke on the 
first day of the ebriefing that he had
help from a girlfriend who put into good German the text which
he had prepared for the forged certificate of leave, to visit
his sick uncle in Berlin. On the second day he revoked this,
saying that 
this must have been a misunderstanding, he had
spoken out 
of the chronological sequence, about a later case
when he had help 
from a girlfriend.)
David went to the police in Stettin, and somehow managed
to 
get 
the travel documents, valid until 2 June, to visit his
sick uncle in Berlin (who 
did not exist at all).

In Stettin David met a KEDIA-man, but again refused to
join this organization, and he traveled to Berlin, met there
Some Georgians, spoke of going to Paris, was asked and took
Some letters for delivery in Paris and took the train up to
Achen.
In Achen he asked a Frenchman how to get to France. He was
advised that the German GESTAPO is giving necessary permits.
10. Now David falcified his leave permit, changing the validity
date from 2 to 12 June, and went to GESTAPO. The falcifica-
tion was not detected. However, he was not allowed to travel
to Paris because his leave and travel document showed but
Berlin as his place of destination, and he was ordered to re-
turn to Berlin.
11. Instead of returning to Berlin David took the train up to
two km from EUPE, in order to pass the XNXXMMMMM border
in the EUPE MALEDY area clandestinely. ie up asked somebody
for advise how to cross the barder, and he was sent to a man
who agreed to take him over during the night time.
12. David had but 50 German Marks. He told this to the guide
and asked how much he will have to pay him. The man asked
20 Marks. During the night the guide took him to a place,
indicated David a direction and to follow for crossing the
border and to arrive to the railroad station on the other
side of the border. This was all he was offered for the 20 DM.
13. David waited until the guide left. Then, fearing that the
guide could have directed him into a trap, he took a direc-
tion 90 degrees to the right of the advised direction, and
followed this direction for about half an hour, and turned
then 90 degrees to the left, thus into the old, advised direc-
tion. Originally he had had in mind to turn later once more
to the left and thus to come back to sore spot on the origi-
nal direction just opposite of the place wherefrom he started
his walk. However, when he had reached a road, he noticed a
man on bycicle approaching towards him. He hid himself in the
culvert, and when the man was quite close, he, David, jumped
out, frightenend and stopped the man, then asked whether he
is a good Frenchman. Receiving a positive reply, he then as-

him the direction to the next farm, and advised to ask for
further information there it would have been too complica-
ted to advise for all the way. David thanked and left for
the farm The man, glad to escape from his charger, offered
him some cigarettes.
14.
David found nobody in the farm. He, thus, proceeded on his
own, and finally reached the railroad station. Sefore boarding
the train, he went to a barber, to shave and to clean his

clothes. Be had but 32 German Marks left. He asked the bar
ber how muc the railroad ticket azur-Paris would cost, and
asked also to exchange his German money ie got the informa-
tion and the money exchanged lie had just enough for the ticket
with a few remaining for something to eat.
15. David bought the ticket and borded the train. He asked other
travelers about the controls. He was told that the German
military tersonnel is performing the control at the Eelgian-
French border. He thought to leave the train before the bor
der to cross the border clandestinely and then return to the
train, but it was too late he could not leave the car any
more, tre control-team a Lieutenant, a 10.0 and two man,
was there already. The officer marched up to David looked
him into the eyes, then turned his back to David and shouted
the ... to hurry up. David had luck he had no documents,
and nobody asked him for those the .C.C. probably thought
that the Lieutenant had checked his documents.
16. He felt happy, but the others told him that there will be
one more check at the "red zone" ( la zone rouge ) near
SAINT QUALI Thereupon: David left the compartment and ap-

wait. The employee soon returned with the chief of the train.
The latter took David to the mail car of the train and ordered
the employee in charge of this car to find a place for David
to hide. A mail sack was opened and David was instructed to
get in. David did, and felt so secure and comfortably that he
fell asleep. He remembers having herd some shouting and kick-
ing round, however, he was not hit. He was in Paris when the
sack was opened. He felt very in happy, offered money, but he
was told that this was not made for money. He then promised
to give the man some drinks, but in the excitement he forgot.
this. When he later remembered this and returned to the station,
he did not find the person any more.
17.
Two or three days later David again reported to a German
Labor Office in Paris, this time as a photographer. He, of
course, did not go to the same office where he had been before,
where they could have recognized him.
13. He got the assignment into a factory in Berlin, which produ-
ced electrodes wor welding instruments. He had to photograph
samples of material used, and of electrodes produced, for check-
ing purposes, under different conditions. He also had to make
photocopies of different books, and photographs for the identi-
ty cards. The factory was somethete in LICHTENBERG, not quite
in Berlin (the next day David said that the factory was in

bowels.
Later he got in trouble begause he had been to movie with
a German girl. An other girl, who was jealous, had reported
this, and he was fired: a foreigner had no right to go with
German girl. However, this discharge was made to be "honorab-
le" and he could apply for a new job.
21. David went to the Labor Cffice, showed his discharge papers,
and was directed to a factory in the STAHLSCHREIBERSTRASSE,
Perlin, Moritsplatz. The factory was producing steel ammuni-
tion belts for aircraft maschine guns. The technics used in
this factory were primitive. David invented a simple machine
for adjustment of the right grip necessary to hold the cart-
ridges in the belt. The director was much pleased.
222
In Berlin David met PASCAL again. They both got the idea
that it is enough for them of the life in Germany, and they
decided to go to South America, to Brazil.
23. They needed passports, such for foreigners.
24.
To get those,
they needed certificates of leave from their working places.
Thus, David went to a Labor Office, to the prettiest girl, and
asked for two leave certificates. The girl was obliging, how-
ever said, that the factory must issue the certificates, not
the Labor Office. David then explained that he was misunderstee
stood, that he did not ask for the certificates, but for the
blank forms, so he could bring those to the factory.
He got the forms, filled the in, forged an imprint of the
stamp of the factory by copying it over an electric bulb, stole

for him to enter the office because he was living in the same
building with the factory, and when he needed warm water for
washing, he had to go to the upper story for opening the valve,
and from there it was close to the "studio" or workshop (atel-
ier): there was not much danger of being seen by the night
guard as the operation did not take long time.
With the leave certificates ready, David returned to the
same girl in the Labor Office from whom he had received the
forms..
The obliging girl stamped the certificates "registered"/

Thus, they decided to return to France.
27. When they were for some 500 meter back in France, they were
seen by the German custom guards. They were 
arrested, separa-
tedand put into cells in a cellar. Fortunately
, the wall bet-
ween the two adjacent cells into which 
they were put, was so
thin that they could conversate with each 
other.
28. David, afraid that Pascal could say something wrong when
interrogated separately, advised him to 
say, when asked, 
that
it was David who bought the map. and 
it really happened that
Pascal was questioned first, and he, duly 
instructed by David,
could give co-ordinated answers.
29. He, David, was brought to a lieutenant who made a thorough
search, looked into his watch
, and even into his rectum.
However, the lieutenant was polite and 
friendly. David 
gave

David quickly used the opportunity and

border of the free, unoccupied

right tickets. The H.C.C. returned, 
saw them off, but, of
course,
he did not know that David 
got the tickets to Pau,
not to Paris.

31. They came to the border. A Frenchman advised them how to
get over the border everybody was 
ready to help them. They
went, but soon got stuck in 
mud, and David lost one of his
shoes. It was dark, he could not retrack 
it.

32. Then they were stopped by the French gendarmes who thought
that they were Germans. David quickly inverted 
the story of
their flight from the occupied zone for joining 
the Free 
French
Legion. The gendarmes took them to a village 
where David could

33. There arrived, David advised Fascal to go to the registrat

he, as a Frenchman
,
will be accepted without showing his German passport. David
,
being a Georgian, did not want to go the first.
Pascal went. s story was not believed. To prove his being
a Frenchman and not a German as suspected, he showed 
his Ger
man passport for foreigners. This made the situation 
worse,
and Pascal was happy to get out without being 
arrested.
34. Both retreated. David decided to return to Faris. Pascal
did not want to return and said that he will go to Algiers, to
Nigeria rail-
get a job on the construction of the Algiers
road. They departed.
35. David, on his way back to Paris, reached Lion. There he went
to one of his far relatives, Guiga TZITZICHVILI
, and asked
whether the latter could 
help him to get a permit to go to 
the
German-occupied Paris. Guiga thought this being 
a simple
matter, because he had a good friend in the 
Security (
Sureté).
However, the relative failed, nearly got in 
trouble himself,
and advised David to dissappear quickly, what the 
latter did
.
36. Somehow David managed to pass the French control by showing
his German passport. The guard misunderstood 
his difficult 
na-
me, and let him pass as Corporal Fritz 
VILI.
37. But the German post stopped him, David, and started a sking
different questions. David demanded 
to be brought to the 
chief
of guards. He was taken to a N.J.C., whom he, again
, asked to
be brought to an officer. He was brought 
to a "Sturmbanführer
"
(Major in the S5). David explained to this 
officer something 
of
having visited his brother in Harseilles. 
The officer nicely
helped him to return to Paris.
38. Back in Faris, David went to the parents. The mother mocked
him about his quick return from Brazil.
39. Soon David reported to the German Commandantura in Paris,
to volunteer as a driver to the S, the 
Transportation 
Corps
of the Nazy Farty. He was accepted and sent to 
Berlin, MUGEL-
HEIM LAGER, close to OSTKREUTZ. He knew to drive

driver's license since 1938.

buted to different places in Ferlin. He came to a unit sta
tioned 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.
y. 
He lived in the same house in front of
which their cars were stationed. He does not remember any
names from the time of this training period. One of his co-
drivers in this small unit was VIKOF.
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.
In Paris they were given French-made Fords of five ton loa-
ding capacity (CU- - 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 da-
maging 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 con-
tinue to 
drive immediately.
The convoy was divided into three parts, with David going to
the 
detachment 
which was detailed to the Navy. This was approxi-
mately 
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 HSKA men were
ordered to take 
an oath. David refused, and as the conse-
quence, was sent back to Berlin, guarded by two men, into a
NSK penal or refractory camp.
44. David asked the leader of this camp, an"Obersharführer"
(equivalent to a N.C.C.),/ later David changed the grade to
"Hauptsturmführer" - equivalent to a Captain/, for permission
to contact the 
Police Headquarters, for volunteering into the
police service. The campleader granted him 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 Police .Q. at ALEXANDERS 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

In the Police David had to take physical examination in a
55 
and Police 
hospital. He was found fit physically and was
sent 
into barracks of which he does not remember the address.
His grade in the police was "Rott-Wachtmeister Dolmetscher"
something 
as the second-lowest grade in the ordinary police,

the SCHUPO (Schutzpolizei). The "Dolmetschef' simply indi
cated that he was a foreigner, as the knowledge of languages
was the only reason why foreigners could be employed by the
police lie had nothing to do with interpreting or translating.
They did some exercising and made centry duty at a large
petrol store. lis hours or duty were by 24-hour spells 1300
to 1300, then off up to the next day, 0800 to Sand off up
to the next day, 1300, and so one for a week. In the next week
the 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 4 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
KURFÜRSTENDAM 26, or "no exactly" 26 - he said not 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, in this entry.
-16-
53. During those three months of "surgical operation" David
get in contact 
with Fraxi LORD. PARIDZE, a boyfriend of his
sister elen who 
worked with the East-inistry (est-iriste-
rium). Irakly, 
who worked with the "SD" (Sicherheitsdienst
Security Service), 
and who later married Helen, nad just re-
ceived 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 t
rior and to ask for similar ones.
to his suppe.
Irakli obliged. David pho-
tographed the documents. he had no intention to show those
to his boss, 
he was going to make his own documents.
His 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 docu-
ment to 
Paris, signing it with the name of Police President
RADEMANN. 
This name he has used on many documents in later
times.
5787. Before using this document he checked it, or made a re-
hersal with his girlfriend
. He 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 falci-
fied 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 smith
journey to Paris
.
59. In Paris David contacted the engraver ALLCU, corner of the
streets Rue Filles 
du Calvaire abd

Leadquarters. The fan consented after a short hesitation, af-
ter 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 
Headquarters 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 mentio-
ned offices, in thousands of copies, sofar those did not have
filigéee nets printed 
in. However, he personally was able
61.
to prepare by hand the filigree net if the document needed it.
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 co to 150,000 Francs.
At first he made money by reselling golden watches of his
friends, as well as other 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 of those Friends were: LUCAS ALLUMES
and VILEMAINE 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.
660
67.
He personally had made 3 or 4 trips to the Spanish border
for coffee, and four other men have done this for him.
Those trips were easy, especially the French part of them
on which were no special checks. Nor 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. "10" youll 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 TZ-DISMANN. His mother, born
HAKAY, 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 DISSMANN, however, was under the pressu-
re of a certain WERWERT 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 for
two old genuine Spanish passports for this purpose.

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.
David went into details in describing how he prepared the
passport, especially how he exchanged the photograpa which
was fixed by groumets, andthus, could not be removed and simp
ly replaced. He had to use plenty of skilled washing and mas-
ter-photography for remouving the old image and replacing it
by the new one without damaging the passport, nor the "photo-
graph itself.
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 p priest came, Werwert had arrived without
trouble. At this occasion xatz disclosed to David that Werwert
was not a Spaniard, as pretended, but a German.
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 arri-
val 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 Ber-
lin. 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 "ABWEIR" 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 ABWEHR, OKN" in the WILHELMSTRASSE.
The porter at the entrance asked him to which branch he
wanted to go. David told "West" whereupon the porter had said
that he should go to "West Einz" (I West), and instructed him
into which room to go. There David found an officer wo ex-
plained to him that the office had been moved to TARE,in
POTZDAM!
78. David went to Potzdam. It took him hours until he found
TANNE, an area surrounded by barbed wire, heavily guarded,
all guards being N.C.Cs. He showed his police passport and
asked to be brought to the chief of the guards. He was brou-

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 belie
ve that an unauthorized perse could have penetrated so far,
(into a top secret area), and cd how he learned about the
place. David told his story. e colonel checked or 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 registe-
red and he was told that he will be contacted later..
Through a chain of persons, linked to LUCAS, David got
equest to prepare documents for Belgian girl's journey
Paris. ne 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 his
benalf and asked the person who was awaiting him to come out.
ne, David, was at that time out observing the environs, to see
whether somebody would be surveilling his two persons. If ther
was no surveillance, then he folloved 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.

.
Before he had finished the documents for the Belgian girl,
he and ALLUMES had found after an airraid an unexploded incen-¨
diary bomb. Allumes had explained that such a bomb, having not
exploded when coming down, is harmless. They took the bomb
to Lavid's living place, and David, cautiousely, 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 splin-
ter 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.
-
At the same time the Felgian girl happened to come and saw
David injured. She showed no grief because of the paines cau-
sed 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.
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 RAHNHOF wherefrom the trains to Paris were star-
ting 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

She told David that he will be arrested immediately, and in-
deed, 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. He noticed a telephone in the coridor of the hospital. He
asked a coin from a Dutch patient and phoned to the Belgian
cerl, 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, get 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.2.
90.
91.
A few months later, when his fingers had nearly healed, he
was transferred into a cellar of the police ..
!
His questionning continued for nine months, with the sessi-
ons 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 espio-
nage (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
14-00000
father was very much embarrassed.
94. During the interrogations David was asked many times for
whom he did all those things, for which intelligence service:
robody believed that a single person could have achieved so
ruch without any big foreign service behind him.
5. The police inspectors had hinted him that he would not es-
cape the death sentence. To gain time, he wrote a letter
to "SC008" and reported an invention of his a motor which
worked without gas in those days, Germas being very short
of gas, such an invention should attire attention.
96. e was contacted and asked for details of his invention.
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
HOLFENFUTTEL jail, near HANNOVER. He does not know what happe-
ned to Asterée.
98. In Wolfenbuttel they remained for some three months, until
the Americans freed them in April 1945.
99. They went to ether 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 en-
large the photos as much as he could, up to the size of a few
square feet. He ameliorated 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 ori-
ginal documents.
2.
All the photographic lab work was done in his hotel room.
He used two MINOXes and one CONTAX, and a French type enlar-
ger with the objective of his Contax. The equipment costed
him over 100,000 ( it was not specified whether French Francs
or German Harks).
David's father needed money for his inventions. David gave
him 100,000 D through a third person, his 
father not owing

participate in a hold-up. He refused, reasoning that his mo-
ther would die if she would learn of this.
6. David's mother died in 1948, and some two months later
his father and sister with her husband returned to the USSR.
7. After the death of David's mother Jean Adam contacted
David again, and insisted on his participation in the hold-
up in a jevelry. David consented.
S.
To start with the hold-up, they needed a car. They hired
a taxi for a drive to CLAT, some 10-12 from Paris.
When the car was passing through a forest, David Crew his
pistol and forced the driver to stop and to abandone his car.
The driver was promised that no harm would be done to him if
he obliges.
9. They parked the car close to the jevelry shop which they
planned to rob. Jean went over the street, and watched the
window of the jevelry shop. David entered the shop and asked
to show him a ring which was in the window. When the shop-
keeper opened the window, this being an agreed signal, Jean
entered the shop. David pulled the pistol, and they looted
the shop. They fled x in the car which they later left near
the police station, with a 500 Francs bill pinned to the dri-
ver's seat. reimbursement for having used the car.
10.
One month later they tried an other hold-up, cut this did
not work. Daviv did not want to continue such things and told:
this to Jean. David's vife did not like his contact with Jean,
although she did not know anything about their common doings.

16. Soon after this Jean attired the attention of the authori-
ties by too lavishly life. He was arrested and confessed, in-
plicating David also.
17. David fled, but was arrested when trying to pass the French-
Spanish border.

19.
David was sentenced to 7 years in jail.
His wife requested and got divorced. She was pregnant at
that time, and in Nov.1950 gave birth to their sor. Gabriel.
20. David was hold successively in the following prisons:
Paris, Prison de la Santée for 2.5 years, later at Fresnes,
Poissy, Rion, Nimes and Avignon.
21. The sentence was shortened by 10% on the occasion of the
election of the new President of the Republic. Three month he
got granted for good conduct.

David said having never been cut for gain: he had made all
this for excitement. He did not like roberies because there one
had to threaten, or even to use weapons against, innocent people.

ANALYSIS.
debriefer was instructed to conduct the debriefing
a most friendly way, so that David would not get suspicious
about the purpose of this debriefing.
David was asked by Charles to tell the debriefer his full
so that this could be used in planning of the cover-story
for his future activities.
In compliance with those instructions, the debriefer ge
David full freedon of telling the story in his own choosen way,
without being much interrupted. He was asked but a few explana-
tory questions, sofar those could be, inserted without causing
any suspicion, and sofar the debriefer was in the situation to
put those intelligently: he himself did not have much advance
information on David. In some cases David asked whether an
item he was just telling, was important or necessary for the
planning of his coverstory, what in most cases was confirmed.
4. However, David did not give the full story in its de-
tails. Besides, there are some contradictions between the diffe-
rent parts of his story. Some events, as described by him, seem
to be unbelievable.
5.
Unfortunately, the debriefer is not in command of short-
hand, and he had no support of consealed tape-recording. Thus,
short key-notes and the memory of the debriefer were the only
sources of information when the debriefing report was later
written. Due to this, some details of the story got lost or
confused, especially when it appeared that David changed some
details during the second session of the debriefing.
6. To clear those points, additional questions should be
asked. Some of those questions can still be asked without alar-
ming David's suspicions, whereas others are of a kind which would
certainly show David that those are asked for control purposes.
This should be born in mind when drafting the final list of
additional questions, and when deciding the conditions under
which those shall be asked.
7. The here given list of additional questions is but a
tentative one, drafted on the basis of this one debriefing re-
port only. (See: K,1 and 2.).
The capital letters and the numbers in front of each
question refer to the corresponding items in this debriefing
record, or, if such items do not exist, indicate the need to
cover additional items.
The small letters are for later references to the addi-
tional answers or sub-items.

CHARACTERISTIC TRAITS IN HIS ACTIVITY.
Imational Instability
As a child he gets thrown out of six schools for having
done monsense. (Ref. B 7,12,13,14,15,17.)
Nor does he finish the last, the photography and movie
school, although he is about 21 years of age and should, thus,
be able to think for 
himself. (B. 18.)
Instead, he volunteers into the French Foreign Legion, thus,
going 
in 
war against the Germans. ( C 1.)
Later he volunteers for work in Germany, stays on jobs
3 to 
4 months 
then flees the country (tvice ), and after a
few days 
out of Germany, volunteers again for work there,
all without 
any good, compelling reason.( C 18,22; 39,40. )
The reasons for changing his jobs when in Germany or with
the Germans, a and the situations in which he changes or
contemplates 
to change his jobs, are unreasonable, if not un-
believable. ("
C 45, 77.)
2. Lack of motivation.
He thinks that during the school age it was the inferiority
complex 
that made 
him do nonsense: he wanted to show up despite
being 
small in growth and having a funny name, (B 7a, 16.)
He is not doing anything for material gain, he has done
none of his special activities for money, and he won't do this
future. (E. 22).
in
He has no ideological motivation, neither patriotic, nor
enough 
political 
feelings: he does not feel being a Georgian,
he is not interested 
in the Georgian Throne, he has partly for-
gotten the Georgian 
language, and he wanted to register as a
Frenchman. (A 1; E 
1.
)
Although he "hate's the Russians in General", and even more
the Soviet-Russians, this hatred was not strong enough to make
him join the 
German-sponsored Georgian anti-Soviet unit. (C 4,8.)
His longing for thrill and excitement, the single remaining
motivation
, seems to 
be limited to the more-or-less comfortable,
physically easy 
activities, like forging of documents, and
fooling officials 
with those documents, playing a wise man who
acts according to 
his psychological tricks. (C 24,36,37,57; D 6.)

This love of excitement was not strong enough, just as was
not the political motivation, to bring him to more dangerous,
and more demanding acts. (C 4, 8; E 2.).
decreased with
Besides, this longing for excitements has
the age When during the school age he did not care what his
parents felt when he was being thorun 1 out of all schools, when
he caused brands, stole, was arrested by the police (B 6,19),
and when in 1939 he was bold enough to volunteer to the Foreign
legion, then, in later years, he is not so bold any longer,as
mentioned before, and he is hold back by the thought of his
mother s and his wife's feelings. (E 5, 10.) He even needs the
repeated approaches of Jean Adamx, and coersion, to get over the
restraining influence of his wife.
During the debriefing, although he was left in full freedom
to tell his story, to feel, to
it once more, he did not
show any excitement; he spoke as if telling the story of an other
person, leaving the impression of a man weary of his turbulent
past, possibly longing for the family (he mentioned having
not seen his wife since 1950)...
3. Lack of initiative.
His troubles in the schools seem having started when he
got acquainted with Jean ADAM whose plans he followed, although.
he "was sure that he could have made better plans".( B 11.)
In Germany he had PASCAL who did not like the jobs, spoke
of leaving those, whereupon "they" then decided to flee. (C 6,22.)
Later Jean ADAM is back again with his bad ideas and in-
tentions, even blackmailing David into action. ( E 5, 11.)
Lack of planning.
He often acts under the effect of a momentary thought,
without planning, or he changes the plans if there were any.
Sometimes those acts or changes are just ridiculous, and
show how bad was the "planning" itself. (C 26, 30,34.)
Thereby he neglects the neccessary security precautions,
and takes unneccessary risks. (C 10, 13, 16, 17, 77, 78, 81, 84,
87, E 1.)
Sometimes, when his "plan" does not work, he gets lost and
remains inactive, lets things go their own way. (C°15.)

-36-
RELIABILITY OF THE STORY.
His story gets unbelievable because too often:
he has "good luck" which helps him (C 15,16,27,30,78,a.o.),
his opponent is stupidly derelict, which enables David always
to come out a winne to escape the danger 
of being captured
(C 10,23,23,29,36,37,44,45,52,58,77.)
There are statements in his story which are not well
believable, 1,
that he and Pascal got leave- or travel-documents from the
Police in Stettin without having had any 
leave certificate 
from
een only for a few months in
the factory, or that he, having been
Germany, knew the language well enough and could prepare forged
leave certificates for himself and Pascal. 
(C 7.)
that he does not remember where he did live in Berlin when
employed as a photographer, when this place was searched
. (
C 18)
that "Passports for Foreigners" were issued by the German au-
thorities so easily, without any checks, on so 
lomited purpose
as was theirs: only for a short leave in 
Paris. (C 25, 29.)
His tutoring of Pascal concerning the map: this was not necessary
at all, because it really was him, David, who bought the 
map,
Pascal could not have stated wrongly. (
C 28.).
- that he was allowed to go from the NSKK penal camp to Police
H3 that the Police engaged him without 
any investigation 
of
his past; that the NSKK penal camp released him 
simply on the
basis of a note that he had registered for 
work with the 
Police.
( C 44-46.).
-
that he, at this time, knew the trick with the combination of
a false and a true document, ( C 57.) and
-
that the higher an officer, the easier is to fool him (D 6),
that one has to use the "lack of link
" between different
authorities to present afforged) document of one authority
to an officer of an other authority, who would not 
find ·
the forging. (This was mentioned in connection 
with D 6.
)
that the officer in OKW ABW gave him the top-secret location
of the installation without having asked for the purpose 
of
his visit. ( C 77.)
that he was so security conscious and did not meet the patrons
in his living place, that the "Belgian girl", Allumes and oth-
ers had not been to this place 
before. (C 80,81,82.)
that he had ordered through Allou forged letter-forms
of different offices by thousands of copies. (60).

SECURITY RISK.
Whether the story is right or invented, or "beautified",
there are points in it which indicate to some security 
risks
connected with this person:
His father, sister, her husband, and probably their children,
are in the USSR, where to they repatriated from 
France in 1948. (A3)
His father, although a theoretical "pretender to the Throne
of Georgia" is in so good relation with, and so well trusted 
by,
the communists government of the USSR and of Soviet 
Georgia,
that he is allowed to live permanently, over 
10 
years 
in
Georgia. ( A 3.).
- His cousin Mathee Keresselidze, who was sent by the Ger-
mans as a spy to USSR, was caught there, and sentenced to 15 years
in prison or hard labor was later free to come 
to Moscow and to
repatriate to France. (A7.)
58 His sister Helen, after she repatriated, was used by the
communists as a teacher of languages in Georgia.
0 5 years in a
detention area, she was later vindicated, received retroactively
the salary for those five years, was allowed to come back 
to
Tiflis, was occasionally at the same time 
in Moscow when 
Mathée
was there, and they, occasionally, met there. 
( A 5.)
for insulting talk about Stalin, and sentenced to en,convicted
6.
-
Helen's husband Irakli Lordkipanidze, a former German SD.
man, repatriated to USSR together with his wife. (See 
p.l above
.)
However, Mathe shall allegedly having 
heard nothing about his
fathe when he met Helen in Moscow. (A.7.)
7. Such things happen sometimes, but they are far from belon-
ging to everyday's pattern in Soviet life
. The concentration of
all those happenings on a very limited circle 
of David's relatives
could hardly be occasional. This should have 
special reasons.
8.
The question arises: If this concentration is not occasio-
nal, then what is its purpose or reason, and how much is 
David
involved?
9.

Concerning David himself:
a/ According to this story he has acted in so many cases im-
prudently, just relaying on his "good luck" only, and 
the 
stupi-
dity of his opponents, that this could 
have developed into a
habit of his.
b/ He has spoken of having been very cautious and security
minded when taking people to his living place (that only two
friends have been there), and when meeting people. 
(C 80.)
Eut
aer« kye=tHi£t-o

But he, probably, has not thought of how dangerous it was for
him to re-register two times in 
Paris under his right name 
for
ré-employment in Germany after he had 
abandoned there two working
places. or has he thought 
how dangerous it was for him to visit
his parents or those occasions 
in Faris, at the addresses on
which he might have been wanted, while these 
addresses, 
probably,
were registered as his home addresses when 
he applied for work
in Germany.
of
c/ David has shown during the debriefing broad knowledge
different advanced techniques and tactics of 
clandestine 
work,
which he claims having used. If believing his 
story, then the
question arises: where could he have learned all 
this knowledge
at that early time, before 1944
?
a
-
The incident of having instructed Pascal through the cellar
wall what to say during the interrogation about the 
map, with no
other items mentioned on what more 
he had instructed Pascal at
the same occasion, makes one think that this part of the 
story
is invented. It looks that David had been told 
of such pre-
coordination of testimonies, that he had not quite understood
the matter, and relying on his "intelligence
", was telling
nonsense.
( 23 and H 2; related item.)
.11
e/ David's acclaimed broad knowledge of different "psychologi-
cal" tricks on one side, and on the other 
side his unwittingly
demonstrated lack of understanding of many basic 
principles of
clandestine work, leave the impression that David 
has heard of
he had used his primitive
most of those clever things af tér
knowledge during WW II, and is simply trying to impress us by
telling "clever" stories. This would 
be in line with his need
of showing up. ( G 2; E 7a, 16.)
fl This could be true if he still is a "honest" crook, and
the story is right in its main lines.
However, the too tight concentration of events, different infor-
mation and alleged knowledge in this story, 
together with the
unexcited, unpartial way of telling the exciting 
story by 
David,
give also reason to think that the story is 
a "too good" cover-
story of a penetration agent.
10. What could happen when David, being taken for a "honest
crook", would be used in a clandestine 
operation?
a Due to his general instabilty and the trend to act under the
effect of some momentary thought, he might 
easily deviate of 
the
pre-arranged, secure plan of action, and may 
fall into difficul-
ties through his irrational steps.
b/ Due to the lack of solid, binding motivation, and the trend
to use his own "cleverness". he may "somehow" 
come to the 
splendid
idea of contacting the "other side" and carry out the assignment
-39-
in his own, a better, perhaps less straining, easier way
In his eyes this does not need to be urhonest, because the
boss knows that he is a crock, a honest, but clever one.
c/ If this analysis is right, then this hypothetical case of
"honest" David is mooving along the road of a wise man s work
which David likes to go: not too dangerous and straining pay-
sically, however, well exciting.
however David is a double agent, then he would not need
any of the found traits in his past activity, and his way to
the other side is simple, provided that he will not be detected
here before.
K. SUGGESTED NEXT STEPS.
To avaid possible errors, the following steps are suggested:
of all debriefing reports and other informa-
tion available on David.
A cross-chec
2. Drafting a list of additional fact-finding and control ques-
tions.
3. Asking these questions
simultaneous application of
consealed tape recording, thus providing an opportunity for
detailed study of the answers and reactions of David.
4. Secret checks on persons mentioned in David's story, espe-
cially on Mathée Keresselidze.
5. Secret checks with the French authorities on the last 10
years of David's whereabouts, activities and contacts, in-
cluding the time in jails.

PERSONAL PRESSION
MADE BY DAVID ON THE DEBRIEFER.
Soon after the second session of the debriefing, on 29 Apr,
the debriefer was asked by the assigner 
whether the debriefer,
if he were in the situation 
of an agent to go together with 
David
on a clandestine operation
, replied
NO there is no rely on this man.
This reply stands at this day of closing of this reports.
a it is dangerous to go with him, even if warned that he is
or might be a double
-agent, and when, thus, prepared for the
resulting special dangers –
- he may add many more, unpredictable dangers by his irra-
tional, flash-of-thought 
actions.
b/ it is still more dangerous to go with him if knowing his
weaknesses, however 
taking him for a "honest" crook. No
matter whether he be 
boss or subordinate, one can not 
rely
on his adherence to the prepared 
plan and given orders.
c/ It is suicidal (unwittingly, of course) for a person who
would be sent with him 
without being informed of his 
weak-
nésses, in full trust of his 
knowledges experience, ratio-
nality and all other necessary 
qualities which he does not have
.
3.
Despite of this rather negative impression, it must be
said that David could still 
prove to be a satisfactory performer
,
and an acceptable calculated 
risk on many one-man special opē–
rations, this especially in view 
of the rather general shortage
of excellent" stock 
of candidates.
