quite apparent that the NKVD considered BICHAY as quite an important person
since nadaillal instructed tho agent of the Funkapie/ "Quartiormacher gins"
to toll Dr. HICHAY to contact a NKVD official in Istanbul. Unfortunately
1 Dr. BIUa.exY was at that time in jell for collusion with the agents of the
I i group nurgenlandu . "s for as subject knows, Dr. BI0HoRY was bathe con-
centration camp of Dachau at the end of the war.
35. The NKVD unsuccessfully tried to couple a Viennese agent with another
who had no relatives or connections in Vienna. The Viennese was to provide
some said abode for•the team, through his connections, but was forbidden
to contact his relatives. (" rule to which no agent hold himself). The
agent, who had found a safe abodo(tavorable situation on high level, apartment
provided witheitarnative current, etc.), rapidly became quite a thorny
problem to his hest, who ran the risk of being executed for harboring a
foreign agent(Faidbeguenstigung). For this reason the host generelly tried
to find anothar quarters for the agents at some menbor of a similar communist
organisation, which sooner or later exposed the Russian agents. If the-agent
tried to hide with cone relatives, ho was soon exposed as teose relatives
sooner or later were put under observation.
I. The Financial Question of tho Russian Intelligence Missions.
36. Around the ma.0,11 e of 1913,. the further financing of the Russian in-
% telligence missions was selved\by the simple procedure of the agent visiting
a place, indicated by now:4.140' where they received a certain amount of money,
or the agents 'weretold -tBiake a certain sum from a cache, somewhere in
Vorarlberg, in the neighborhood of the Swiss frontier. .
37. During the summer of 1943 2 nentrumu instructed the agents of the Funks-
piel a Quartiermacher gins" to visit a certain address, whgre a woman was to
'hand them a curtain sum. This woman, Hargarete SEID104 -lienna II,
Herminengasse 10, was the sister s of a former cust6drin of the Art-Historical
kliseue, named BUSCHBECK, who had emigrated to London.- The woman who VMS-
imeediately interrogated could convincingly prove that she hat not received
aey money to transmit to anyone else. (It maybe noted here that the ad-
dress, given by nentrmaa was wrong as the woman had moved quite a long time
ago.). .1 few weeks afterwards, nentrum a instructed the agents of the Alake-
pielnAlpenrosen to get some money from the same woman, agaimmithout avail.
38. L. little later, the monitoring units of the oKa, were able to inter-
cept and docipb:x a series of messages exchanged between slzentrumn and a
certain station in Swiss territory. This is what they learned: aaentrunn
informed the Swiss group that the "man from Vienna" had contacted the
"man in Vaxinen , that the woman had moved and' that she was not in
possession of the sum, which(---)(alias.of the swiss :mum) was to have
handed her. nentrumn asked the Swiss man to avplain this. Simultaneously,
neat:asp ordered the Swiss agent to have a Russian agent(wumanaman?).

around the prince of Liechtenstein, in order to accomplish acne intelligence
mission. The Sm!.ss man answered that the woman was lying and that contact
would be made with the Lichtenstein group. -- Anew message from aaentruma
then inkrmed the Swiss man that a new man had contacted the Vienna woman
and was now convinced that the woman had never received any money from the
Swiss man, n aentrwe practically aocused the Swissman of having withheld
the money.

precautions against hid. The mile then demanded that the swiss police
