Walter Kopp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Kopp was Lieutenant Colonel of the Wehrmacht under the Third Reich. After the Nazi defeat in 1945, he became the chief of one stay-behind networks in West Germany, code-named Kibitz-15. The British and US intelligence services had set up clandestine anti-communist organisations supposed to "stay-behind" in case of a Soviet invasion. Walter Kopp was described by his own North-American handlers as an "unreconstructed Nazi," in CIA documents released in June 2006, more than fifteen years after Italian Prime minister Giulio Andreotti's October 1990 revelations concerning the existence of Gladio, the Italian stay-behind network which had participated in false flag bombings in the frame of the strategy of tension.
