This is Rogan - who is a very cheeky cat and he likes to have his picture taken.
I live in Cheshire in the North of England and I have compiled a number of biographies of Agents of the French Section of the Special Operations Executive,who were captured and executed by the nazis during the Second World War.
If you have come to this site to compile details of your family tree and this does include members of the Special Operations Executive.
If you wish to know more about the work of S.O.E the book by M.R.D. Foot - The Special Operations Executive can be obtained from many libraries in any major town or any University.
If you are tracing your family tree and you have information passed down from family members, concerning a relative being an active member of a Maquis group - or linked to one of the S.O.E. networks. Please note unless your family member joined S.O.E. and was trained in England, records would exist,if not trained in England no-record would exist for this person. Many recruits joined an S.O.E. network and were trained in the field and did use an 'alias'- the work involved was very dangerous carrying messages and equipment to other groups.
When captured many of these brave young men and women gave the alias as their real name. After brutal interrogation by the Gestapo. Many were then executed and buried in nearby woods,in mass graves, some were transported to concentration camps and executed upon arrival,their bodies then placed in the crematorium furnace, and their ashes scattered with other concentration camp prisoners
Because of this procedure being enforced by the nazis-it is not possible to trace numerous people,who died at the hands of the Germans.
Many young men were also deported for forced labour in Germany and were worked to exhaustion, often in the underground factories.When they died were placed in a mass grave.
Many families in France never saw the young male members again, who were sent to Germany for forced labour..

Hello,
Your piece on Eva made fascinating reading. I was wondering if you know the name of the Paddington hotel at which Eva resided.
Thanks,

| Gehlen
thanks for the info. In the mean time I did find some info on him in regards to being the father of Woolsey and also organizing the Mossad in the book "The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People" by John Loftus and Mark Aarons. I ordered it. If you would like I will let you know what I find out. Thanks again.

I am writing a book that has one chapter about Nazis that came to the U.S. and what they did thereafter. I am interested in what you know know about Gehlen and his connections to the Mossad. Especially that he helped organize and train its members. Can you refer to published text? Anything you have would be helpful. Also, there is a possibility that CIA director Woolsey is his son, although I have not fully substantiated that yet. Thanks a lot.
