sur,gested to 1)137 that he (K) not be kept in on internment camp because,
In such a case, he could not run his chain (which he said reached into
Moscow) for the Americons. KEDIA hod contact with the Si officer, Lt.
JOLIS (Paris).

1946: In Born, Switzerland livim; with Hostyslaw SHULGIN.

In January 1046, D57 reported im KMIA l s recent offur of the
use of his Georrjan uhnin. .4xt happened oftorrords Is not clear.
Probably nothing happened, that is, his offer apparently WEIS not
accepted.
Feb. .1 was to be interned. Internment postponed.
Kedia's name came up again in connection with the SW.:1LIN opera-

tion. D37 was put in touch with SHULGIN by KEDIA, whth whom he
(SHULDIN) lived in Geneva, according to a report by DB23 and DB5 of
June 46. Thru SHULGIN, KEDIA's offer to use his Georgian chain was
• indirectly renewed. KEDIA made his offer indirectly to the ITIP:TR
• (UKRAINIAN CHIEF COUNCIL OF LIBERAITION), probably well aware of
SHULGIN's connection with us.
12 July 46. KEDIA, in a letter to Rostyslow SHUL3II: proposes
•

that SHULGIN contact KEDIA's men in Turkey (Istanbul). According to

1946 (con0d):
KEDIA,.he has nine a.-ents in Turkey. KEDIA's chief representative is
MENAGARI-who has contacts with the followinrz Turkish officials:
1. NADJI-BEY (Naci Bey), Chief of the .1- urkish rilitary Intell.
Service.
2. C(.1. CELAL BEY, Chief of the 'kurkish IS for western Turkey.
3. Col. TEMER-BEY
4. Gen. NURI PASHA, brother of Enver PASHA
5. Gen. ERKILLET
6. KriM Cofer Bey AKHOUT
Among KEDIA's agents is on Alexander KANKAVA who parachuted into
Georgia 1942 and returned recently , to Istanbul.
KEDIA apparently gave this information to SHULGIN for trans-
mittal to the UHI.R. representative Zuf-ene STACHIV. UHUR is repo rted
to have decided to organize an intelligence center in Turkey, and
STACHIV' was charged with the mission. SHULGIN, however said that
"KEDIA is very impulsive, and not always wise in the choice of his
associates." SHULGIN wants to get the advice of the ",mericaLl
authorities" what to do, and their reaction to KLDIA's list.

TRZ71ATION CF AlnE tEW7PE PXErARED BY KFOIA

1er.eva 28th April 1yp..5

Sirt

In referri vg to the discussion we had on April 27th / would like to set

down in this aide mercire tne principal points which I exposed.
The prineipal question which dominates the international situation today
is the determination of Stalin to emerge as sule beneficiary from this war which.'
has been fOUght with no much scerafice by the Allies.
•
The Western democracies . will be cumultting a very gravearrs or rnich may .
cost thew the total lose of Europe, Asia ark. even Africa if they regard Stalin
simply. as 4 Russian statesman. If tuativere the case he would be satisfied with . •
.tne enormous gains vhien this war heve brought him in Eastern Europe, the
Balkans, and in Asia,
•.
But, the Alliesiaist know stalinj know his aims, and his Methods of
fighting as we know them in order to understand that stalin is not „lust a Russian
statesman'. He mikes use of•nussir. and Platters her imperialist sentiments 'only
in order to introduce coacianism and therebr 'his ova personal power rherever he clan. .
• .
This denaturalized. Georgian, Sxiled . from . his . countri, now dictator of
Russia, has nothing to-lose. and . everytning.to.gaino'Jutelligent l. and above all
.canning, with :a willporarlronhakitciwarhatbe-.wantaand:ailllendeavor:tO

• His'aims.todey are'no longer tnadefeat of razi Gentittiy'j'a tact which

and fifth eaumns. The ranks. of these fifth 'ocaurms'are.beitisswelled

.. • „.„.
• • 1n the face of this gravadanger:rhich:threatens the World the demiocraelea
mint face stslin without aday's delay with an active and tenacious policy. If. , .
the democracies wish to avoid eo=uttiag suicide they. *slat prepare aecvlon AnA
organize the people on this side of the . bsrricadebefore the.exp7osion of the
• inevitable aimed couflict. The first Problem to . be:solved.on'this side of the •
barricade or. the part 3f the democracies is the German problem. Tao whole of
Stalin's poliCy . atthe present t...me an g eared-to the winning.over of Germany
himself. He is well aware Of the great value of the trump . card which Germany:
repre!tents in h7..s fl t4ht against the Alliles; . It should pe e4ded that he 'las menY

Russaan allLaroe,

' wAta-hzs cunnint. kno.c how *.o erplolt 611 these continents for his
own ends. It is ror this refmn that tne Allies are compelled to dispute terriw
tries with Stalin inGermany itself°

But. there are also many Other slemnus 11, Germany woo wish to come•to an .
unierstandin wIch toe democracies for tit° olgenizatAoa of Europe on a just basis.
These Germans rust be sougtt out. They must be nelped by every means to organize
• the4selves. With a just understandintN .of the expectations and desires . of these
circles one can win over the whole people to the somMon cause.:. With . regard to the.
. liquidation of the last vestiges of the Nazi movement, this must be left to these •
German elements. They till'acoomplish the tatik much better. than the Allied Military
Governments •

.. We are acquainted witn Sone of these German personalities. With their help
we were able to maintain ourselves in Berlin, carrying on a . definite oppoeition
• to the nefarious'Nazi policy in the question of tue Eastern European ,Nationalities.
AttacheCtO this memorandum is a liEt of persons with whom we were in regular . *
contact in Germeny. These individualS can in turn 'complete the list with quantities
of other names .more important than their own...

tneir nsedez-,rtiOn and - developed a vigorous anti .;Naxi opposition among those who
rerneimed until the.end in Gerinaz . uriits and the National Legion. 'this great mass

ESI AVN
 , The firat . thini; to be ione in this direction.is to prevent at once
all the Caucasians and ot..her non.sussian people who have fallen into the
nanda uf tte Westc;ru Allies as prisoner?, refugees op deported workers from
being returned tu the Russians. Naturally many among these men believe in
the wittory of r! tulin, and would like to create en.alibi in order to regain
his favor and thus save their lives. But this effort will avail them little,
since once Stalin hue made tree cr . than e will eliminate them not because
they have fought against him, but because they hor s seen too much of
European life.

It is necessary therefore, to lave these men, but if it is un-

fortunately not possibe under present conditions, then we must save at least
the Elite end save them Until tomorrow. For this ' reason . we ask that we may
be permitted to return to nermany,-with the necessary papers, and accompanied
by Amer,can officers, also to Northern Italy and Denmark iu order to desk._
out first of all the National COmmitteeL who have,led.thect people,..and..also
the elite imd any Otnere who car he saved. We must of course dim' seek out
all our.oernan friendi mentioned above. In this connection, Prof. Von Mande
who is at present at Buhler will be a . helpful collaborator. ..an old friend
of ours a 'leaded anti-Nazi amd a European or the . bestlype. With whom
among otuers we would be able to set up the necessary apparatms...
. .
. It would also be uSeful if t could bepermittad to establish as .
soon:as possible . contect . with my friends in Turkey. -;•ith'wbom we worked for.
three years.'

.. . To summarize, Zwould be grateful if . you would transmit to Your

. .government or . wbocver ia . concerrei our fears of stal'in f.s. pclicy,.Which can

 After Hitler start au ha s war against flussid, lcading mezibers of the
four 'Caucasian net.ons (who in nearly all ease:. had already been living;
for a long time 4tn exile) gathered in Berli., hoping to gain independence
by a Carmen victory.- .At first the cerren ermy nupported these ideas, but
later Rosenberg a id se hiekadanz ( Oat ster ium) convinced Uitl er that the
independence of the Caucasian nations woul4 be of no interent to nazi •
German imperialism, as particularly the Caucasian °Wields,. and the barder
zone towards kersia and Turkey zhould be entirely wider German control. At .
this time schickedanz became ' covernor of the Caucasus.

So in ly42 in NoC.00 found itself ir a very' difficult situation. On

the one hand they saw their political aims frustrated, on the other, they had
been used by the Carillons authorities,. sinoe . August ly41, to buildup a net+-
waTk.of intelligence. coVering 'the Cauotsus and the talmuci.steppee. At .
the' same time the ranturanian Turks had built up an intelligence connection
in central Asia, end, which was still more important. had Ticked out Caucasians
from Germanprison camps to build Up a Caucasian . Carne.. These Caucasians
had followed the ail]: of the , N.c.c.becaute iteleaderso• decCived by the Nazi
authorities, had promised them Use chance to fight against Russia for the
independence of their counnrieb. But they were not at all . interested to •
support elther Ruic.a or Germany, in a war at the end of whicn their nation
would be doitinated by either of the tiro. The No C.. C4which was not
liquidated by tne Ntzis, who still planned to use it eventually) now had .
the : difficult .iask . of disentangling their. men from the German arm, who were
called to aims Under .false pretences.

the Russians.

3. Nedia, especiaily . if in couveot with NUri Pasha, Should be in a position

to build up tbefinestdatelligence network in the Caucasus and ' central Asia,
Persia, ' India and thihear East, as their followers do not work as paid agents,

1..r.c:0RGIA AND THE GEORGIANS- -

--4415174:g-T-3
• Georgia,. a Soviet Socialist Republic, is located in ihe

Caucasus, with its eastern border on the Black Sea and Turkey,
its southern border on Armenia and its western border on Russian
Azerbaijan. It comprises 26,865 square miles in area, with a

total population in 1939 of 3 1 42,289... It is larger in population

than either Armenia or Azerbaijan, .although slightly smaller than
the ' l giter . i.n.area. Its capitol, Tiflis (Tbilisi) located the
southeaSt 'pOrticin of the province has a population of 519,175.

Until the beginning of the 19th . Century, Georgia evidently.

maintained a kind of quasi-independence, with its own king. The
tensions arising from its pOsition between Russia and Turkey, led
Georgia in 1801 to place- itself under the protection of the
Russian Emperor. 'A good deal of autonomy was evideatly allowed.
C.•••4

It was permitted to retain its own language and to continue its

awn 'culture. At the time Of the overthrow of the Czarist Regime
in 1917 the Caucasus as a whole found itself out of Sympathy

with the purposes of the revolutionaries. Each of the three

principal provinces in that area, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan,

: . proclaimed themselves independent republics. The Republican govern-

ment of Georgia ensued in an atmosphere; according to qualified

•observers, of intrigue, graft, and incompetence. Each of these
Republics eventually came under Bolshevik control, Georgia the

strongest being the last to succumb. The independent survival of

the newly proclaimed Republics Was short lived due to the failure

to achieve an effective alliance, amongst themnelves, principally

because of territorial disputes, and in December 1922 under

Russian influence and sponsorship they became a . sincle ConstituentLJ

Republic known as the Transcaucasian Socialist Federal Soviet

Republic. The Georgian Army attempted resisence but without

. result and the Georgian Republican gOvernmont fled to Turkey.

That . government, which has been e4ractorized as Menshevik, re-

tained its organization and in . .124 called from Turkey for another

uprising in Georgia. This was quickly suppressed by the Soviets.

The adoption of . a now Soviet Constitution on December 5, 1936,

replacing an earlier One of 1924, resulted in the splittins-up

of this Transcaucasian Federation into the Soviet Socialist . Re-

publics of Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia.

Georgia has furnished a numl:er of leaders to the Soviet

Government, including. STALIN,.and ot 1. -. p rs in high administrative

positions. Available evidence seems to Indicate that those who

.romained in Georgia have accepted their -political status although

• emigres and refugees abroad, whose numbers increased subsequent to

1GC2 and 1924, continue their • activitias and intri:zue for the

restoration cf Georgian independence.

Charge d'affairee at the Afghan Legation in Switzerland in touch

with the Japanese in Paris, early in 1936. BAMAT was the leader

of a German fostered Caucablen Nationalist group the aim of whI;Ch

was t, establish an independent Caucasian Republic-. The Japanese

also decided to exploit the connections of this group and endeavoured,

in 1937, through BAMAT to establish a Turco-Japanese intelligence

association for the purposeof gathering information concerning

Russian activities. BAMAT's mission to Turkey failed of "official"

Turkish approval because of BAMAT's refusal to consent to the

TUrkish demand that Mir Ali : IAYTUT, a Turkish engineer

-
who had

established BAMAT's contact with the Turkish authoritles, be

designated chief of the group. 'Notwithstanding BAYAT continued

ing Georgia. One of these, known as the "Committee for the

\.
Liberation of Georgia", was under FrincelWRAT/ION-UOUKHARANSKY,

who has been characterized as the "pretender" • to the Georgian

throne. His committee lasted for only two or three months des-

pite a certain amount of support given to it by von RIBEENTROP,

who took an interest because the Prince, who had a wealthy

Italiah' wife, evidently had some:social standing. Another CDM -

mittee that was formed and died during this same period was one

organized by the following:

IAVANICEVILI
ITSERETELLI
•
-MAGALOFF
Spiridon KEDIA.

One reason for the quick death of these committees was due

to attacks on them by one Michael FEDIA, who was coming along

fast, in the eyes of the Germans, in the leadership of the

Georgian community. TEDIA had first become prominent when he was

designated by ACTMETELI to report to the Germans on the Georgians

in Paris. He later transferred the Seat of his activities tO:

Berlin. Unification of Georgian activity had not been completed

by lP43. The FEDIA organization was operating directly under the

• so-called . Kaukasische
'auspices of the SD, but there also existed a

•ertrauensstelle" under J ACII:yETELI, Which operated more or less

under, the auspices of the ROSENBERG Ministry. The conflict

..between these two groups was ideological among other things, since

FEDIA f s organization made some attempts to secure a promise by the

' Germans that thts constituent states of the Caucasus would be

independent, whereas the ROSENEERG group promulgated the view,

C$T4Dr-r
 CT
L— 4 6 —
p lerr^r

which had to be accepted by those working with it, that the

Caucasus should have only a provincial or colonial statUs. In

1944 in order to unite the two organizations arid, more •important,

to bring about a unity of all Gaueatia:n,organizations, the Germans.

•

created and put all groups into one organization known as the

21"Kaukaaisnhe . Verbinderngstab". This . waa ..divided into four Sec-

. tionS, representing .GeOrgia, Armenia', Az.erbaijan and the North

Caucasus. The Georgian section was in charge of KEDIA, and the

following were active in it:

'IMAGALOFF (the pr:ty active_supervisor of those-

aus

vROSEN5ERG_MinfOitry;

between Munich and Salzburg)
.ALCHISLIA
' - , GIUBLIANI .
.TSOMAIA.

The north Caucasus section was under BAYAT I s old associate,

KANTEWIR.

The Georgians seem to have been used by the Germans for a

number of purposes. ? irst of all, they furnished recruits for -

fighting forces which the Germans were using under GeneralYVLASiOV.

VLASSOV . had organized a Free Russian army to fight with the

Germans which is reported to have had several hundred thousand.

volunteers in less than seven months. This arm sought the in-.

dependence of the Caucasus and consequently was 'opposed by the

ROSTN:TRG Pinistry. • A Georgian brigade was organized within the

army, most of the survivors of which made their way into northern

Italy after contriving to surrender to the PnEln7American forces

near the Austrian border.

A second objective which the Germans had in organizing the

ZO-CtiF
 44

'Pecirgiana . was that of acquiring intelligence. For this r.urpoee,

KEDIA seems to have used, to a large extent, the old stamping

ground of Turkey.. •He made frequent trips to Turkey, travelling

under the name of Michael FOHLER. During one such visit he•

stayed with a Georiian named-IIVV=I. oriJAFFLI whose cover in

•

Istanbul was a buainess dealin t, - - in manganese. DJAYEId ras a

direct contact oft -LAM-MINCER who was atlac,tled_to . the office of

the.GerMan . Nav.al:Attache; on his last. two visits' he stayed with

oneiWEIDTMAN, coo.Lti
of etieak. One Georgian made

the statement-that KEDIA l s trips to•Turkey were for the purpose

of establishing contact with. the Allies, but no positive evidence

has been found. There was a substantial organization in Turkey

consisting largely of Mensheviks (members of the Social Democratie r: -

arty) who looked to NoahGE.DAT;IA (1dT IORDAI), leadAr_ef the .

.ENS urVIFS in Paris, for guidance. The Georgian organization . in

Istanbul whose activities were directed ty F.F.DIA comprised three

groups all of whose members rere members of JCP.D::.TIS.'s party.

This was coMposed of:

_ -
a)A Georgian croup permanently resident . in Istanbul:(Tur-

in IstanbUi were:

.ESKOUIACEVILI

The latter is rumored to have been a double agent whose primary

loyalty was to the British.. •

One. further function performed by the REDIA organization was

that of furnishing support and agents for the operation of the .

ZEPPELIN organization. This division of ArT.. VI, known formerly

as tANT VI/C A eppelin was set up by the Germans to carry out:

,.
intelligence and sabotage _missions in the Caucasus. The details

of its operation are . knowit only sketchily, but for the Georgians

the leadership seems to have been in the hands of F7DIA,_whose

missions -with which triTCHWADEE was concerned, were intended to be

"BOTI" and "BOROTCHALIN". The missions were to have WT com-

munication and consisted of one WT operator arid five men.

WATCHNADZE claims to have discontinued, work for ZEPPELIN. fol-

lowing such briefing. Whether or not the missions were success-'

ful is not known, although SINDhKACRVILI has stated, in connec-

tion with a vague description of ZEPPELIN operations, that certain

— •:
Georgtana sent to the Caucasus were captured and shot by the

Russians. .

. The location of one camp was said to be at Teppel, near

Marienbad, Germany. Thie information was furnished by' an

Azerbaijani who also identified the followinE as Azerbaijan

instructors at the camp:

4'ALI=
iBAGEIROPF
1ABASSOF
1MAMEDON
IRDLIZADA

All of them were stated to be former officers of the Red Army.

This camp may have been confined to working with the Izerbaijanis.•
_
Evidently certain ZEPPELIN activities were designed7,to take

place at the front, during the German advance. ISINTJITACHVILI

has 'said that . he went to Russia in December of 1943 to be in the

service ofATCHAIVTCRAIVADZE who, he stated, was working with

ZEPPELIN. The objective was evidently that of sabotage and in-

telliEence operations in front of the German Armies, particularly

as they advanced into the Caucasus. The operation showed no

accomplishment for the German retreat started soon after. SIND-

JITACHVILI maintain S that thereafter he and a certainkLAC:',ARIADZE

The leadership of the Georgian community by TEDIA did not

extend to all CeorEians, some of whom seemed to have worked in-

'dependently for the Germans and,others to have disputed the .

authority of KEDIA. Among those who worked independently for the

Germana:. are•the following!

GaliBASCHIDISE: A Georglan_in_Berlin, who evidently worked

f
from 1937 to 1945 as a part of Abwehr, IWi, Bremen, 65 years old;

this agent was reputed to have worked particularly well with the

Japanese asid the Turks I n Berlin and to have reported to the

Germans information concerning Trans-Iranian oil, Russia and

Russian influences with recpeet to ttie oil, and Near Eastern

import and export business.

WAGLARILIDZEL.. Identified by TCHMELIDZE, chief KEDIA rep-

.

resentative in Italy, as one who work:ed. ., forthe, Awehr.. . It is

also stated that he attempted to be the Georgian representative

with Genera l VLASSOV.

IDIVITRACHVILT: This man was accused by kAVLIASEVILI,and

LauraiTATHELI (British wife of a Georgian refugee) of having

'worked for the Gestapo in Berlin. DIMITRACEVILI is obviously in

,

bad standing in the Georgian community, charges of embezzlement

and fad faith having been made against him. 7 is accusers state

that he IDLA

. for the French, the Russians, and the Gestapo. He is presently

in Allied hands in Italy and instructions have been given that he

is to remain under surveillance.

Dev4WATC7NADZE: This man, a strongly- anti-ComTunistic
Georgian, helped form a short-lived P. rmeno-Georgian community and
also; in'Berlin, ass:bted Prince EAGRATION-MOUKITAPAn7Y in his
efforts to form a Georgianorganization. It has been stated that
,• •
he was in AMT VI . agent in Rome; although hie associates are in-
clined to doubt It in view of his-
• •
chiftless character. It may
- ..... . . .

- have'.been a Case of mistaken - identity with Elisbar.

Among the most famous of the non-corroborators with KEDIA

' was ODICH4F.Ii (dAUDICHAR, TSAGOEFF). This soldier of fortune
l'
through the years worked for the Germans and the Japanese as well
as the'French Deuxieme BUreau. He had been a member of the French

Foreign Legion and returned to France after its occupation by tlie:-

Gemans. He thereupon. seems to have devoted his time to:fighting

the position of KEDIA as leader of the Georgians'. To prejudice
TED T A with the GerMans, ODICFARIA frequently denounced KEDIA as

well aesomc of his associates, either on the around that they

were workin secretly for the Soviets or for the Allies._ Thus

ODICETA denounced SINDJI 7 AGHVILI as being the bearer o/;'a

messa t:e from the British Intelii!,:ence . Service to'KEDIA. Despite

.these.efforts, the prestige of Kl: TIA reMained unimpaired,. perhaps

because of the full confidence Elven to LAT; HENGELHAUFT.

ODICEARIA Proceeded into anti-Maquis activities in France, and

became wealthy through black , market' operations. His anti-Maquis

activities. , which consisted of forming a band of deorgians to

engage in active suppression of the Maquis, hes led him to be

called "Infamoue" by one Georgian, (Flisl:a:' WATCHNADZE) as also

The-most difficult ;art of ...any:discussion of Georgian AC-

tivitiea. for the Germans Is • to attempt to evaluate their Services

and find reason therefor. Despite the characterization of the

KEDIA-organization in Turkey as teing efficient and productive

the .specific project& which. the Georgians secned to have engaged.

in appear relatively insignificant. It has already been noted.:

that the ZEPPELIN activities on the Front were disrupted by the

German surrender', and the dropping operationa into the Caucasus

scorned to have resulted only in tha capture and death of those'

Participating.

SINUJIKACUVILT worked with FIDIA on the formation of a

Georian unit which was to liberate Georgia by proceeding -byerland

through Turkey. The scheme was worked' upon el&borated, and had

German approval, but finally for very veeee reasons It fell

through without a sinele , Coorgian having proceeded to Georgia.

SIND=ACHVILI is presently interned by the Allies in Italy,

pendline further iftvestieetioh.

Another scheme was tbc so-called / Georglan Cloister"

.was worked out by . K.SDIA IBASITITUS and a Father Michael? ARSCHNIS-

VILI. The scheme, which one report says should be attributed to

a certainYSADATIIIERLSCEIVILI, was designed to estsblish a cloister

••,, czt.%
 ;."1"-.})Fri'
AI 13

in Rome under the wing of the Vatican which could be used as a

trysting place and Communicational center for German agents in

. Rome.. The scheme fell through without having accomplished

• anything. There is evidence that BASILLIUS used the money fur-

nished him by the Germans for 114.41 own ends instead of establishing

the . cloister. In addition, Father TARSCHNISVILI evidently came

-to regard the. "cloister" as his s.nd objected to having radio com-
- • • - -

munications centered there. There is one further puzzling piece

of information. to the effect that the cloister, which existed

physically although it was never in operation, was used by

.BASILLIUS for hiding escaped Russian prisoners of war. There is

no evidence whether this was due to BASILLIUS i s sympathy for them

or whether he regarded them as prospective recruits for his awn.,

operations.

There is nothing to indicate 'why German efforts with the

'Georgians should have been as futille as they seemingly were.

It could conceivably be dye to the fact that the Soviet Union so

controlled Georgians, or so penetrated them, their-Schemes

that
,
were bound to fail. .There is Some evidence -that KEDIA 1 s ' organiza-

tion had been penetrated for two members of that organization,

[TC .HARTISCHVILI and Lieut. iiTIVANI, are now working openly for the

Ruseians in their
. Austrian zone: The inefficiency may have been

due to the ineptitude of the Georgians themselvae or their mutual

jealousies and suspicions. The Georgian community abroad, like

a number of expatriate groups, were closely drawn together but

rocked with mutual jealousies, accusations, and envy, and this

may have led to An inabilit y

for the nermans.

Even at this time . mutual recriminations continue, as evi-

•denced by Allied interrocaticns of Otorgians. Thus DIYITRACEVILI

bas denounced the followin g: members oftho Georgian community as

having been German collaborators:.
•
SIND.717AnVILT TCHYCLIDZE (discussed below), FAVILTACEVTLI, Elisbar

WATCErAirZE, ALCHTBATA, and BET7YACTIILT. He has also named the

follorini: as agents who worked for TFDIA:

tGUARAVADU (i re7orted.ta have been arrested by the Allies in Milan);

1BARANIRDZO'KARDOW0a Turk wha:has perhaps returned to Turkey) and

DJAKELT (now . deceascd, with a son presently in Spain). DIVITRACH-

VILr, on the other hand, has been characterised as a blackmailer

by Elisbar VATCENAME who states that DIMITRI ;XEVILT organized a

scheme with one‘OPERIDZE and Miss MiriamAKERESSELIDZE to

.blackmail prominent Georgians. Among the intended victims are

said to be, WATCHNADZE, SINDJIKAC7VTLI, and PALIASHVILI, for being

German a;ents; and a certain Mrs.IFOMARTELLI, whose principal

recommendation fcr beln hlacknai7ed seens to be that she is quite

•stealthy. Ther'e have also been nutual charges of embezzlement in

the CeOrE.ian connunity, traceable to certain funds of Georgian

orEan!zations wtich made their ray into the hands of Andividuals.

Most ofthese accusation5 center around the persons of SIrDJIT:ACEL-

• VTLT and TCTTYGTIDZE. Tnc 1:1tter is a GeOTE,ian•who worked for the

ROSENBEIU ministry in 1941. 7e admits that he had been out of

Soviet Russia since the 20 1 s and that he had been abroad under a

RuSsian passport until 1937. Fe maintains that this was for

purposes of convenience but that in 1937 renewal would have cam-

S-FCRFT
 SEC
promised 'him with the Soviet rn!on end accoldin4:ly at that time
he applied for, and received, a Cernan passport. In the ROSEN-

• FWEG ministry he worked . under Dri\:MACALOFF, and vas appointed

.Chiof of the Georgian Colony in Italy in April 1945, Officially,
'•
his position in Italy was that of chief YrepreSentative of the

."Kaukaeische Verbindungsstab". He is presently in Allied hands,

-.-
in Italy,.awalting-further•interroz;stiOn.

Certain other Georgians are known to have been active on

behalf of the Germans, r% lt h ough In 'rot cases InformatIon concern-

in them is scant. One is FANTCRICUVILI, an er4;ineer, a rep . resent-

ative of Siemens in Milan during. the war. .Another idiSCHAVGULTME,

a close associate of FEDIA I s and more specifically - pay master to
the families of Georgians who were fihting on the :astern Front.
Three others who might be of some intereat because of their-anti-

Soviet reputations are: GirierdNAFASHIPZE Nicholas/YATASHIDZE

.andIZAflAPIADZE. Others Whose names are found In reports include

SHAVISHVILI a former Georgian delegate to the League of Nations,

_
now living in Geneva; andlIANSSARI2ZE, e former German FW nervy-

said to be acting as a Soviet aront of the Repatrlation Commission.

Two other individuals Who should be mentioned in this connection

are CardinAI TISSRANT, who has written to the Briti.sh Y Intstry in

Italy protesting that certain Georgians are no bein forced to
return to USSR against thetr rill; and a certain PrinceesSF!-.72,"/NC7I
whose son Tas an QS S agent, and who Y7.7EIA is reported to have rro-
tected in 5erlin. Elisbar WATCTINADZ: catrie to be a particular
friend of the Frincess, who apparently renamed in Italy throughout

also claims to have protected various Georgian Jews. For this
work the Jews supported his wife and children who were left in Paris
when KEDIA-went to Berlin: (His fathi1 is now in Megeve, France.)
In an episode that is not clear tO - us KEDIA reportedly saved .
ERICZE from the Germans. In'gratitude for this BERICZE has been
KEDIA for some time. While in Germany, for example,
KEDIA received 11,000,000 French francs from .BERICZE. Through'.

XX-12492 Interr. of KNOCIEN, 9/10/46

Subject is said to have emigrated from aussia in 1922 f or 1923 in connection with the
Revolution. Subject . is described as extremely skillful and knew how to camouklage his se
activities and the method of his work is described as effective because of long 'experience
and constant pursuit of his aims concerning Russia. KNOCHEM considers it umlikkely that he
was ever identified by the :tussian CI system and believes that Subject's policital outlook,
although in fact known to this witness, was sufficiently camoulaged to ramAin unknown
to a larger Circle. .Subject's reports were regarded as both informative ad reliable.
. Exact details of the-technical . execution of Subject's intelligence operations are not
-available beyond the general outline given above. Subject is described As a'Man_almopt....
6 ft tall. with sparse reddish hair which was cropped short; . regular features except for
a rather large nose; no beard or moustache, and rwitr complexion. The Only remarkable
things about Subject were his eyes which seemed to dominate the entire man and the witness
would call him the pc m tYpe of an intellectual. The shape of his head is square with a
rather long face.. Subject speaks French, German, and Russian. Was last seenl by KNCIkEN'
in August of 1944. .There is nothing known to KkocHal about opelytions of this' intelligence
chain after his '('Subject's) departure from France.lqngelhauptof Amt VI, and one-time
collaborator of KNOCHEM 'should be able to furnish more details on Subject as he was
closely connected with 'Subject on a personal basis.'

selection of qualified. personnel hit no details are known. DJAMALJAN, so ,• or.a
. General of the same name, also figured-LI r,orc. wcy ir these operations. Ai's1HEN, •
however, is noi able to recall details at this.time. KkMSARAKAN and OULBEKM (pro-
bably wrong- Spelling) also figured prominently in connection with these intelligence
operations.-:Doth had oil interests in the Near East and also had a grudge against
Russia. trattN is not sure. butthidks it possible that thes,. two worked toegther
with MAULATZ; at any rate they furnished much valuable information on the economic and
political s e ctor in the Near East Intelligence work. Their permanent residence was
Paris and their connections reached into Azerbaijan. As far as KNOCHEN is able to
remember,.MAULEEZ . functions on the economic sector coincided Ad.th purely intelligence
functions in this case.

From . Richard lielme

Subject:- Nadia and the Georgians'

With reference DO your memorandum of 5 November en-

closing-Waetjen t s report on his talks with Kedie our prosent
atand on the handling of Keats and the Georgicn group is,
very simplY, that every effort should bc made to ootein as
much ac:e:Itional Informv..lon as poseible on- Kedir c..nd
Georgian associates End that," for the time being, no action
whatever be taken on the utilization of Kedis and his associates
for operational purpcses. We have prepared here a summary
of all available info=atio:, on the past activities of the
Georgians and the current situation--fragmentary though our
knowledge is on the latter point--and have called attention
to those particular items of information we need in order to
assess adequately both Kedia i s secUrity and the intelligence
potentialities of himself and his a .ssociates, . , It is -worth
stressing that whether or not the'se- lcds evdr employed;
in any fashion for the procurement- of intelligence, detailed
coverage of their proJent and future. activitiesrepresents.
a positive political intelligence target of interest in .
Washington not only to State but also to the Army and the
Navy.

-We agree most heardly with your reservations ,on .

keeping a potential Kedia operation completely away' from .
Germany and from the White Russians; although . in'general terms
and looking ahead for a few years, we can reasonably estimate
that whatever anti-Soviet minority 'groups maintain their
organization for the noxt yOnr or two will inevitably cos- .
lesca . into a more and 'more cload y”knit "bloefand 'consequently .
make it extremely difficUlt . to conduct any' typ'e:Of collabOration.
2e. 1.
with one group unboicnownst to the •others. - One of the more
disturbing factors in the Kedis case is his ,ohviously close,
relationship with :p7/1 and his transmi .,talto . the Ukrainian
of the names of t1:66 e Turkish contncts whi 'dh represent a
large part of his ' stock-in-trade. The general reflection
also follows that Kedia can hardly be' in a position to
exploit thoo Turkich contacts more successfully then a
direct Americankish collaboration.

This is by way of 6 summary reactiba—thes6.and.othe

aspects of the case can be dismissed by you .a.nd'SOsitzke-4

According to available information, robiashvili came in 1939 from that part of Poland
then occupied by the Bolsheviks to Warsaw, in which connection he declared on crossing
the border that he had shot two Red Ara men. The Ceram intelligence became inter-
grated in the case, investigated; and discovered robieshvilite lies. Dr. Alsbibela
eucceeded in getting him cut of the hands of the Gestapo end sheltered him in the
Caucasian • club. At the time of the German capitulation, Notlashvili was the cormander
of a 1,500 man Georgian legion. Robiashvili sent hie people over to the English Tmete •
of Gerseury, end fled to Vunich himself. All the legionnaire, were turned over by Oa

the English to the Bolsheviks.

1. KEDIA recently approachedwith an offer or plan
to work together (along intelligence lins4 - making Turkey the base
of operations. The purpose of this cooperation is to precipitate the
inevitable War between the •USA and the Soviets.. KEDIA
-reasons in a three hour conversation ancLthe-following
re§ume. of the conversatioh:

KEDIA expressed his 'opinion that our Ukrainian.organiza-

tions, •he.trilogy (OUN-BANDERA, UHWH, UPA)vere guilty of a crime be-
caUse ho order.was _issued to the UPA to lay down their arms and KEDIA.
Considers all of our efforts useless, in the general fight 'against
BolsheVism . as well as for the common Ukrainian caueeand even more use-
less for . the . victims of this partisan warfare, in the East...He said: .
'I have not -committed this fault because I ordered my'men to stop fight-
int.and . not to die futilely for "les beaux. yeux des Anglais . et des
Americains" He also reproached the. Ukrainian organizations for hav-
ing kept. the Displaced Persons in a . state of emigration and for having
prevented . their return to. the USSR: . Hesaid: my'com7
patricit,.STALIN',. • has alreadyWon • pert of EUropei•: The Anglt . Saxons-

Soviet troops will.occupy all of Germany and the DPs.will all . be mas-

that 80% of themwillbe • deported . but at least 20% . will . be given their -

important lo cease using. the•politital Smigrants . frOm . the East as an
instrument of organized fighting. Also it is important to find or to •

war preparltions and on the other hand will frighten the Soviets who
will beco:Ae more conciliatory and esecially more cautious. Therefore, .
it is necessary to work for Communist successes in Prance, Switzerland,.
Spain, Turkey and. Greece; in other words in all countries where America
has an interest. The greater the Communist success is in those countries,
the sooner the war. These facts must be faced. It is inevitable and
sooner or later the real acrugje against Bolshevism must be joined and
the support of the USA and England sought. KEDIA . is Certain that anyone
who participates in these. pro-Communist provocation activities will find
Immop-e.
muala favor with the Allies than those who a a farouohe manner, remain
faithful to their principles and continueto be anti-Soviet. The leaders•
of all those people who are fighting against the Soviets: Caucasians, ..
Ukrainians, Poles, Germans (KEDIA puts the latter in the same group),
should participate in this provocation plan for it alone can assure suc- •
bess and :a .fUtureto Eastern and • Central Europe.".

2, KEDIA then .continued to say that if he had sufficient funds, he • .

would retire to a South American country. and end his days An peace.
However, he qualified this nostalgic statement by saying that his
was .a vicious circle and he could not escape the work in which he had.•
become 'involved ao he was forced to continue it. With that opening- •
UDIA proceeded to explain that he already had a . good fOot-hold in Turkey:
and there he could recoup financially. The chief obstacle is poor liai-
son; his lines into that country now are insecnre . and.were developed
merely through force of necessity.. .Now KEDIA is trying to direct hia
groups through his friend and colleague,Sandro MENAGARI but he, KEDIA,
is worried about losing control of the operations. .
• • . • • • •. . .
.3.. KEDIA indicated • that . he would be . willing to trust F....
to establish contacts, to organize the transmissiOn.of money'and Ttn
.develop the controlling headquarterS . in.Turkey.:-Ifnecessary, the,„
Turkish base would be a Ukrainian one. XEDIA thinkathati..._
as 'a jOtirrialiat' i could travel if it were necessary. Be told y- •
that • thi“Orkwould heighten the Value of-the Ukrainians in.the eyes:
of the English and Americans and that the real work, provocation of en
armed . conflict'between the Soviets and the USA, could be.accomPliahed.'
