When the nazis sent Franz von Papen to Ankara As ambassador to Turkey they did not Trust him for von Papen is too much of a thief even to Honor his fellow thieves.

One Branch of the women s Gestapo is the female division of Hitler s specially created deportment to undermine morale in occupied countries. When France collapsed and frenchmen were locked up As prisoners of War this Branch began one of the most for the Job by Gestapo chief Frau Luettke. Even the technicians were trusted Gestapo agents. So with the full co operation of the egyptian government these artists filmed strategically important roads and Hills along the libyan egyptian Border which have been invaluable to Field marshal Erwin i assignments the women s is known to perform.
