GESTAPO AGENTS
ACTIVE IN UNITED STATES. CARD INDEX OF AMERICAN CITIZENS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, May 26. Richard Krebs, a former member of the Gestapo, told the House Committee on un-American Activities that the German Gestapo had a complete card index of American citizens tagged as enemies or friends of the Nazi regime. The lists provided a constant barometer of the strength of morale or weakness of other nations and listed elements which could be harnessed to the German movement before war.
New York was the Gestapo clearinghouse, but this had been moved to San Francisco, the Consul, Wiedmann, being a trusted lieutenant of Hitler. Krebs testified that there were Gestapo agents in many business houses.
