Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file, released under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, gathers biographical index cards on Albanian Communist leader Enver Hoxha. The entries cover the years 1943 to 1954. They record his roles as Prime Minister, Commander in Chief and party Secretary-General, his trips to Moscow and his relations with Tito and Yugoslavia. They also note rumored rifts with Mehmet Shehu and Tuk Jakova, the 1951 Tirana bombing, and his giving up the premiership in July 1954. The file contains no UFO material.
