Excerpt from The Nazi Hydra in America
By Glen Yeadon and John Hawkins, 2001-2004
The academicians within Dulles’ branch of Research and Analysis were
held in suspect by
both Dulles and their superiors. Donovan’s use of those on the left had
always infuriated
the FBI, factions within the State Department, and some members of
congress. The FBI
frequently demanded the dismissal of members of the Research and
Analysis unit. As the
end of the war approached more agents with leftist views were purged.
Only weeks before
the end of the war in Europe the House Un-American Activities Committee
found a red
herring in the Russian born economist, Paul Baran. Once the leftist had
been purged from
the Research and Analysis unit the focus shifted to the preparation for
the war crimes trials.
Donovan was assigned as .the US Deputy Prosecutor in the Nuremberg
trials until he resigned
in a dispute over policy with the Chief Prosecutor, former Supreme Court
Justice Robert
Jackson. Ralph Albrecht a former New York international lawyer and the
OSS assistant
Director was also on the prosecutor team.
While the purging of anyone from the leftists in the OSS hindered the
investigations and
prosecution of Nazi war criminals, it also set the stage for the
disbanding of the OSS. In
1944, Donovan submitted a memo to FDR outlining the creation of a
permanent American
intelligence agency. The top-secret memo was leaked to a Washington
reporter with the
Chicago Times. The Times printed a series of articles written by Walter
Trohan critical of
the establishment of a permanent intelligence agency. Trohan had
presented the draft
proposal verbatim even though the document was classified as top secret.
Trohan,
however, was close to J. Edgar Hoover. Once again no charges or
investigation would
follow, some fascists were too large to be prosecuted.
Once again the Chicago Times was the recipient of top secret documents
and publishing
any part of the content would be an act of subversion. The Times
benefactor that provided
Donovan’s memo to them is known with certainty--- It was leaked by J.
Edgar Hoover. A
congressional uproar soon followed led by the same pro-fascist faction
that sought to keep
America out of the war. At the time Roosevelt tabled the whole matter
only to revive it in
April 1945, a week later Roosevelt died.
No other agency had so much ridicule, embarrassment and criticism heaped
on it during
the war than the OSS. The fate of the OSS was as predetermined as if it
had been created
under a dark star. The embarrassing incidents, the criticism and
congressional investigations
all served as fuel for its final demise. At the center of this
controversy was Bill Donovan, an
intensely loyal and honest man.
None of this, however, addressed the controversy of actually maintaining
an intelligence
agency. Truman facing increasing wrath from the Republican Party and an
uphill election for
the Democrats in 1946 had little use for an agency that had been
referred to derisively as
the Republican Club throughout the war. Donovan was a Republican, was
not immune to
playing politics, and he recruited Republicans heavily before an
election in the first days of
the OSS.
On the other hand, Donovan had angered conservatives and Republicans by
hiring liberals,
socialists and even some communists. From the day Donovan was appointed
to the position
as head of the OSS, he had but one job -- to destroy the Axis war
machine and he would
hire anyone who was able to aid him in that cause. Donovan did the
honorable thing and
stood by his men, even in the case of a congressional investigation
labeling some of his agents
as communist in the Goff affair. They had done an admirable job in
helping to defeat the
Nazis in northern Italy and Donovan saw to it that they received
appropriate citations and
medals for their work despite the congressional accusations. Lesser men
would have stood
idly by. Therein, lies the root cause for the short-lived fate of the OSS.
Donovan had came with too much political baggage. As the assistant
attorney general in the
1920s, Donovan had almost cost J. Edgar Hoover his job. However Hoover
was not the
only heavy weight enemy Donovan had made. During the same time, Donovan
approved a
case to go to trial that charged Senator Burton Wheeler with using his
influence to obtain oil
and gas leases for a friend and client. Wheeler was acquitted of the
charges, and when he
returned to Washington he was embittered and never ceased to attack
Donovan. [...]
On September 20, 1945, President Truman issued an executive order
disbanding the OSS.
The OSS organization was then dispersed among other agencies. The Secret
Intelligence
and Special Operations branches were transferred to the War Department
and placed
under the command of former OSS General John Magruder. This was nothing
more than a
caretaker body to dismember the unit. Magruder, protesting the wholesale
dismembering of
his unit resigned in February.
The Research and Analysis branch headed by Aldred McCormack, a New York
corporation
lawyer was transferred to the State Department. Congressional critics of
the OSS simply
decimated McCormack’s budget with the help of current State Department
officials. The
Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America, Spruille Braden led the
charge to disband the
group. In front of a congressional committee, Braden stated.
"We resisted this invasion of all these swarms of people…mostly
collectivists and do gooders
and what-nots."
Later in the 1950s Braden became a devotee of the John Birch Society.
In March 1946 while McCormack struggled for funding from congress, the
chairman of the
House Military Affairs Committee charged that a person with strong
Soviet leanings had joined
the State Department. McCormack demanded a retraction. Instead, congress
cut the entire
appropriation for his unit. The pro-fascist faction within the State
Department had convinced
enough influential congressmen that ex-OSS officers were far to the left
and committed to a
socialization of America and the redistribution of wealth on a global basis.
By mid 1946, Donovan’s OSS had been completely dismantled. The United
States would be
without an intelligence service. At first, it was suggested that private
enterprise could provide
the government with intelligence. A former OSS Deputy Director proposed
to Watson of IBM
the formation of a private intelligence service. The two men raised the
initial venture capital. The
venture was in vain as President Truman and congress created the CIA in
1947.
In the short space of a year, the government had dissolved the OSS only
to recreate it under
a new name. This wasn’t a case of a vacillating government. If President
Truman had not signed
the executive order dissolving the OSS, congress would simply have
eliminated any funding for
it as it did to the remnants of it in the State Department.
The disbanding of the OSS had an express purpose. The leftists within
the OSS would serve
as the sacrificial lambs to atone du Pont’s new feckless goddess on the
altar of free enterprise.
Those that had served their country gallantly during war and who were
dedicated to stomping
out the last vestige of fascism would now become victims to the fascists
within the United States.
The American industrialists who willingly supported Hitler during the
war had to be protected.
The political climate by the war’s end had undergone a tremendous shift
to the right. This change
was not abrupt. Throughout the Roosevelt administrations, each
successive administration was
more conservative than the preceding one. In 1944, Truman replaced
Wallace as the vice
president. In 1946, the Republicans gained control of both chambers of
congress. The stage
was now set for a wholesale purging of the government of leftists who
were dedicated to wiping
out fascism.
The new CIA was a mixture of old OSS agents and military officers. The
old OSS veterans
soon became the dominating force within the new agency. The CIA was
created with two
principal divisions: Office of Policy Coordination (OPC) and the Office
of Special Operations.
Frank Wisner and Allen Dulles headed up the OPC branch. The Special
Operations division
was headed up by James Angleton and William Harvey. The CIA had but one
agenda anti-
communism. The fourth director of the CIA appointed by Truman was
General Walter Bettle
Smith. Smith in all seriousness once warned President Eisenhower that
Nelson Rockefeller was
a communist.
The CIA was led by three individuals who harbored no qualms about
working with Nazi war
criminals. Angleton, Dulles and Wisner all worked with and helped Nazi
war criminals to escape
from Europe. Many immigrated to the US after having their records
sanitized by Dulles and
others within the intelligence community.
Additionally, the CIA was given the exclusive responsibility for
intelligence in South America.
The FBI held this responsibility previously. Given the ambitious
Hoover’s propensity to
protect and expand his domain, the FBI remained cool if not frigid in
its dealings with the new
agency. In fact in some South America embassies, the FBI agents there
destroyed their records
rather than giving them to the CIA.
Although the CIA had been created in an effort to purge all leftists
from the intelligence agency,
it would soon feel the wrath of McCarthyism. Loyalty oaths would soon
follow. Once again
following a war, America would embark on a red scare. The resulting Cold
War would serve
as a smokescreen to cover up the crimes of fascists within the United
States. No American
corporation would face charges of trading with the Nazis. None would be
even charged. Dulles
was adamant on that point. He had used his post in Switzerland to
protect his own dealings
with the Nazis and those of his clients. He was now in a position to
further protect those
American corporations that had willingly supported and traded with the
Nazis during the war.
Roosevelt’s pledge to bring all war criminals to justice had died with him.Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector. ======================================================================== Archives Available at:
