This Central Intelligence Agency dispatch from the Chief of Base, Munich, dated 2 May 1960, forwards reports by a source called AEDOGMA-1 on the October 1959 cyanide death of Ukrainian nationalist leader Stefan Bandera. The attachments review five theories: poisoning by German intelligence, by Soviet agents, by Myron Matviyeyko, by Mykola Lebed, or suicide. They also describe interviews with Munich criminal police officer Adrian Fuchs, who said the police were convinced Bandera committed suicide. The document has no UFO content.
-2- suicide was undoubtedly involved, and that for obvious political reasons, the Banderites didn't want this fact to become known. Further, the German Police have facts -which indicate that the Banderites forbade certain individuals to reveal, any facts of S. BANDEBA's case. The police questioned this, and they came to the conclusion that statements made by these people tended to bring to light the facts in this case. These indiVidUals are Dmytro MYSHKIV, Sephan LENKAVSKY, and Vasil NINOVS'KY. Besides this, BANDERA's wife was very talkative at first and revealed certain teats (as for instance, the fact that BANDERA always carried cyanide an his person). She later stated that she could not verify this fact. It was evident that the Zch/OUN had forbidden her to talk. FUCHS was so impressed with our three-hour Conversation that he told me. this talk gave him more satisfaction and More facts than the one hundred conversations he held with other individuals and that it convinced him his 'analysis to date was correct. He told me that I could easily replace armember of the commission engaged in the!investi- gation of_BANBERA's death. FUCHS met with me . again on 17 December 1959, at which time he was more reserved. At first, I didn't know the reason, but Later KASHUBA explained. During the second interview of BENTSAL, BENTSAL noticed on FUCHS's desk a sheet of' yellow paper an which was written in German the fact that M. KORZaAN of Paris was head of the commission investigating the circumstances of BANDERA's death. It also listed Volodymyr DEYCHAKIVSKIY of Canada and KASHUBA of Munich as members.
