Central Intelligence Agency · 146 pages · text from the file's own layer

This undated, secret Central Intelligence Agency debriefing memo to the Chief, CSOB, records the life story of Clevland O. Hahn, a Latvian born in 1919. It covers his family and pre-war life, the Soviet and German occupations of Latvia, his anti-communist resistance group at the Jelgava Academy, and his post-war activities in Sweden. An appendix gives numbered biographic notes on Latvian emigres, intelligence figures and police officers. The document contains no UFO material.

on partisan activities in Kurzeme and if there exists the possibility
of establishing contact with such partisans independent of SIS. This
correspondence, though secure, was, Hahn feels, too frequent. SKOBES
intelligent questions and general content of the letters as well as the
urgency which was indicated, led Hahn to believe that he truly was in
contact with BROADWAY. In these letters SKOBE informed that BROADWAY
had a great deal more information aboUt the LCP's machinations than could
be imagined and therefore BROADWAY was extremely interested in assuming
a new contact, completely divorced from TILBURY. In answer to SKOBES
query whether HAHN had the possibility for contacting VOLDEMkR separetely,.
the latter replied in the affirmative, bringing about a request from
SKOBE that Hahn turn this entire matter over to him because it is a
great deal more insecure to operate in Sweden then in England. Hahn
replied that he felt that he should encode and decode and thereby retain
control to which SKOBE assured him that he would only be lending his
codes to BRCIDWAY Until they could assume contact after which the Code's
would be returned to Hahn. (It should be mentioned here, that there was
no possibility of utilizing LIMNS radio because of a lack of fluids.)
During this time Hahn's contact man in the US, HUME, wrote to Hahn
and informed that he had established contact with YCLAIM and was in need
of information about the partisans, which Hahn sent him. Somehow SKOBE
found out about the fact thatHahn was sending Kalme this material and
chided Hahn that he was cooperating with the wrong man (meaning KALME).
SKOBE further mentioned that the DS will never fully understand Latvia
