Paul Fidrmuc, freelance Abwehr agent in Lisbon, WWII

Date: 20-05-1947/20-01-1949 Reference: KV 2/199 Creator: Security Service Catalogue context: Paul Georg FIDRMUC, alias FIDERMUTZ, RANTZAU, codename OSTRO: a freelance Abwehr agent in Lisbon, whose prolific reporting was based on gossip, speculation and press reports. Most of it was inaccurate and, when seen via ISOS, gave rise to no concern. However, in the run-up to OVERLORD his reports were sufficiently close to the truth that he was for a time considered as a candidate for elimination.
