Description:

Walter Paul KRAIZIZEK: German. Walter KRAIZIZEK, briefly a member of HITLER's SS Bodyguard in the mid 1930s, was working in South Africa at the outbreak of war in 1939, was interned there and escaped to Mozambique where he was employed by the local Abwehr in Lorenco Marques. KRAIZIZEK was expelled from Mozambique in 1944 and returned to Germany where he was recruited by Otto SKORZENY for his Werewolf unit which, however, he managed to avoid joining. He was finally arrested by US forces in 1945 and transferred to Camp 020 for interrogation later that year. This file contains detailed accounts of KRAIZIZEK's escape from internment in South Africa (with the help of the pro-Nazi South African Ossewa Brandwag organisation) and of his work and associates in Lourenco Marques
