This Central Intelligence Agency release, declassified under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, is an undated interrogation report on Hans Joachim Leyer, a Danzig police and Gestapo official. It traces his career from shipping work to Kriminalkommissar and SS rank, and his 1945 role running an Amt VI Auffangstelle in Danzig for returning Kommandos. It covers his evacuation to Schwerin, the RSHA setup there, his custody, and appendices describing RSHA personnel. It contains nothing about UFOs.
