There are several inexact points in the article on Walter Schellenberg: His family did move to Luxemburg in May 1923 but not because of the French occupation of the Saarland after World War 1 but because of the economical crisis in the Weimar Republic. The Versailles Treaty forced Germany to limit its armed forces to 100,000, forbade it having an airforce, demilitarized the Rhineland, a region in western Germany next to France, and placed the Saar region under the League of Nations' control. The economically valuable regions of the Saarland and the Rhineland were placed under the authority (but not jurisdiction) of France: occupation is not the right word and it was done in 1918 much beofre Wlater Schellenberg's family moved to Luxemburg.Walter Schellenberg was never arreested: he was a guest at the house of Count Folke Bernadotte (of the Swedish Red Cross) in Stockholm from April 1945 to June 17 1945. There he wrote the Trosan document , the basis for his Memoirs, and negoiated whith Colonel Rayens of the US Army to help the Allied forces as a witness. He freely flew on June 17 1945 to Frankfurt am Main and was then transferred in London where he would be interrogated AS WITNESS in camp 020. He was sentenced to 6 years emprisonment starting June 17 1945 (when he had not been arrested) "ïn absentia" owing to very serious health problems on Gall Bladder and liver hepatit. He spent the short period before being liberated in Hospitals but never went to jail. He was sheltered in Switzerland at the request of the head of Swiss Secret Services Col Masson, with Dr Francis Lang in Romont Billens where he wrote his memoirs with the help of a young German journalist by the name of Harpprecht. He died at Clinica Fornaca in Torino as Pfr Dogliotti was making a bypass for an obstruction of the bowel.Contrary to the statement of the article Schellenberg was well aware of the Doublecross system of German agents captured in England and was himself playing the same game under the name of Funkelspiel. He got protection from the Allies for he had evidence that Edward Windsor and Wallis Simpson were acting German spies, a fact that the British crown went far to be able to hide. He also leaned late in the war from his spy "the Druid" of the deciphering of Enigma machines by Bletchley park which he avoided with special radio transmitters compacting radio messages and sending them in a split of a second. He also succeeded tapping the line between England and the US (decoding some conversations betweeen Churchill and Roosevelt) obtained the true plan for D-Day invasion of France fron Cicero a spy in Turkey (but fortunately Hitler doubted it owing to British clever decptions). He also decoded all the transmission of the American Embassy in Bern where Allen Dulles and the American Secret Service were based. Schellenberg was an exceptional spy master who organized a systematic factual double checking of the information received in Germany. His verification system allowed him to gain information by the Russian or Western Allies who suppplied true information for their deception to be credible. Walter Schellenberg was a master at using his opponent's strength. The British crown didn't want ot have a traitor in their rank and the Allies needed to keep secrecy on the decipering of Enigma machines used by the Japanese yet o be defeated. Contrary to what is stated in the article about Schellenberg his Memoirs are not boasting anything, they put on stage a man who failed everywhere in fantastic spy stories. Actually if his Memoirs had been true he would never have become the youngest SS general, he would have been sent to the Eastern front. This false modesty and the emphasis on his Intelligence years allowed Schellenberg to hide his involvement in the mass-murder of Jewish people when he was in the Gestapo Amt IVE and in the structuration of the final solution despite unarguable documentation. Amt IVE of the Gestapo was in charge of fight against partisans and Himmler did write in his diary on December 18, 1941: “Judenfrage / als Partisanen auszurotten Your encyclopedia report should not be deceived by this master of deception Relevant Sources on Walter SchellenbergARCHIVESNARA, Records of the Office of Strategic Services, RG 226, Entry 125-A, Box 2, Folder “Schellenberg,” OSS, X-2, Stockholm, PTS-5, “Brigadenfuehrer Schellenberg, Amtcheff VI”, June 1945. This “autobiography” written during WS temporary stay in Troza near Stockholm under the protection of Count Folke Bernadotte, official of the International Red Cross, is sometimes known as the Troza Memoradum and was considered by the Allies as more chronologically and factually accurate than subsequent statements by WS under interrogation. The document apparently served for WS as an outline for his Memoirs.
