Reinhard Gehlen (1902–1979), German WW II general and first director, Bundesnachrichtendienst
When the Iron Curtain descended in 1946, leaving the Western Allies with virtually no intelligence sources in Eastern Europe, Gehlen’s vast store of knowledge made him very valuable.

The Gehlen Organization was eventually compromised by East German moles within itself and by communists and their sympathizers within the CIA and the British SIS (MI6), particularly Kim Philby.
Reinhard Gehlen approached US Army intelligence shortly after the end of the war, and offered his files and staff on the Eastern Front and Soviet Union.
