clusion that the life OF a pro-

New York in 1927 and on his
own, wrote confidential re-
ports and offered his services
To Losovsky in Moscow. His
energy and his lack OF

Among the crowd of inter

populated Hamburg in the
early thirties, George Mink
was hated and despised. Even
his own compatriots openly
regarded Mink as a gangster.
Albert Walter referred 10 him
as the "cut-throat from the
Bowery."
Later in 1882, during an
outbreak OF factional strife
between Ernst Thaelmann and
the ISH chief. Mink was
charged by the Berlin GPU
office with collecting damag-
