“Mr. Bull” and “Herr Pauls” — Nazi-U.S. Wartime Collaboration

– Documents –

Allen Dulles is well-known as the top U.S. spy chief during the period of the Cold War, an individual who earlier spied against the nazis in Europe and plotted Hitler’s death. In the former, the coups d’etat he organized are no secret — indeed even most bourgeois sources, with a slice of honesty, will admit these coups. In the latter, as it has turned out this story was just as real as the average Hollywood fantasy.

What was Allen Dulles really doing in Europe? By 1943 the U.S. and UK both pledged total war with Hitler, that is, until his final demise and the end of the nazi state. By that measure, it can be only taken that he would be doing everything he could to bring about the conditions for Germany’s defeat.

But words can remain mere expressions, mere symbols — deeds are where one must match their words. Documents recovered post-war from Department VI of the SS Reich Security Office revealed that in mid-February 1943, Dulles (under the pseudonym “Mr. Bull”) met with top nazi emissary Prince Maximilian Egon Hohenlohe (under the pseudonym “Herr Pauls”). As the documents emerged from the meeting stated, such a meeting was on behalf of the authority of the President of the United States.

What emerged may be considered shocking to a general audience. At a time when millions of Soviet heroes were dying in the great anti-fascist war, Dulles was negotiating with the nazis to conduct a Nazi-American alliance against “pan-Slavism” and “Bolshevism.” No exaggeration is made here, the documents speak for themselves. Could this proposal be linked with the fact that the U.S. waited until the Soviets were at Warsaw to open a second front? Were they holding out final hope that Hitler would “reach his senses” and conceded the West to them, only going East? This was certainly the doctrine that Lord Halifax expounded pre-war when he said that Hitler had wiped out communists so throughly in his own country that he had every right to go East. Many other unsavory comments about Jews, the preservation of nazism, giving them Austria and Czechoslovakia permanently and so on, were also made. But I will leave that up to the documents.

Also included is the document pertaining to Dulles’ assistant’s (under the pseudonym “Mr. Roberts”) meeting with special SS agent “Bauer.”
