Walter
Schellenberg
Walther Schellenberg (January 16, 1910-March 21, 1952)
was a German Nazi and second-in-command of Gestapo.
Walter Schellenberg was born in Saarbr?cken, Germany.
When France occupied Saarland after the First World War,
his family moved to Luxembourg.
Schellenberg enrolled in the University of Bonn in 1929
to study law. When he graduated, he joined the SS in May
1933 and worked in counter-intelligence. He got
acquainted with Reinhard Heydrich and 1939-1942 he was a
deputy leader of the Reich Central Security Office and
Heinrich Himmler's personal aide.
In November 1939 Schellenberg played a major part in the
Venlo Incident, which lead to capture of two British
agents. In 1940 he was charged to form a list of 2300
prominent Britons that would have been arrested after a
successful conquest of Great Britain. He also arranged
many other plots of subterfuge and intelligence
gathering, including bugging a Berlin brothel to monitor
conversations of its customers.
Also in 1940 he was sent to Portugal to capture Duke and
Duchess of Windsor and try to persuade them to work for
Germany. Mission was a failure - Schellenberg managed
only to delay their baggage for a few hours.
Schellenberg served as major general (Brigadef?hrer) in
the Waffen-SS and held a high post in political secret
service. He also led the hunt of the Soviet spy ring Red
Orchestra. In 1944 he became a head of Combined Secret
Services when Abwehr was disbanded.
At the end of the war Schellenberg persuaded (or agreed
with) Himmler to contact Western Allies through count
Folke Bernadotte and went personally to Stockholm in
April 1945 to arrange their meeting. He was in Denmark
trying to arrange surrender when Allied troops arrested
him in June 1945.
In the Nuremberg Trials, Schellenberg testified against
other nazis and 1949 he was sentenced for only six years
imprisonment. In prison he wrote his memoirs, The
Labyrinth. He was released in 1950 due to worsening liver
condition and moved to Italy.
Walter Schellenberg died in Turin, Italy.
