A. He was a member of the Abwehr and I met him in Instanbul.
He was active there.

Instanbul. I met him in Istanbul. I met him in Berlin and I think

was Leverkuhn standing in front of the house and he told me I was

I was supposed to go over some work with Mr. Sonnenfeldt, and
Leverkuhn said he would straighten it out. At first I thought
that General Donovan would probably have something to say to me, but he
