Hi Daniel,

A belated welcome to the forum.

You mention your father's service in the German Abwehr.

Do you know much of the history of his service, and his connections that lead him to the USA after the war?

Much has been written of Admiral Canaris' connection to the OSS through Alan Dulles in Switzerland during the war. It would make sense that a serving Abwehr officer somehow connected to that would come to the USA after the war...

I'm glad that you're taking heed of the advice shared here about breaking numbered parts. If you search, you'll find a fair number of "threads of sorrow"...
