Central Intelligence Agency · 81 pages · text from the file's own layer

This is a Central Intelligence Agency cable dated 14 August 1985 and sent to Washington. It forwards news clippings and magazine articles on Josef Mengele, released under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. The attachments include an Argentine magazine report on claims that Mengele lived in La Banda, Santiago del Estero, as Adolfo Gualterio Ascher, along with an interview with the judge investigating those claims. They also include a newspaper article on Mengele's protection in Paraguay and on past efforts to extradite him. The file has no UFO content.

Danes are bakers, bacon
makers. From now on, Jo-
hannsen, you're German.
They're soldiers,"
Paraguayans who look
closely at the general for
signs of slippage; who watch
hopefully for an end, and fear
an end; who yearn for a new
life while dreading the future
of a country stripped of politi-
cal structure and robbed of so
much of its pride, say the
prognosis is depressing:
After Stroessner, more
Stroessner.

flew . into the Para-
guayan outback, to a
place called Capitan Bado,
where the general went to on-
knot inaugural ribbons at a
post office, a dispensary and,
it seemed, anything else that
had been built there in the
last 10 years. The town's
main street, a wide dirt.road
that looked like a river bed, is
the border with Brazil; no
customs men, just some sol-
diers wearing forage caps
with chin straps, and a tent
show, the "Fantastic° Circo
Koslov," that could have
come straight from "La
Strada." I had been told the
general was popular in the
countryside, and red banners
nailed up at a little stand fit
right in: "Stroe_ssner,
Stroessner is the jubilant cry
emerging from our Para-
guayan soul," and "Wel-
come, noble and illustrious
chief, governor of the heart of
America."
I was given a red Colorado
Party bandana, which I was
graciously dispensed from
wearing, and a seat in the re-
viewing stand about three
rows behind the general,
which made me uncomfort-
able, thinking of the violent,
reviewing-stand end of
Anwar el-Sadat. There were
some speeches, and then we
walked, following the gen-
eral, through the dirt streets,
There were school kids in
white smocks, and little
bunches of townspeople. We
walked and walked, and there
was silence. Past the old men
in white shirts, the guys in
cowboy hats, the kids with
their shoes shined — walking
In total silence. Thirty years,
and it had come to this! Oh,
the stillness!
Finally someone cheered,
"Viva Stroessner." It was
thin but audible. The general
broke ranks, went over, and
shook the man's hand. •
