ZIEGRA, HANS
Banker
Born on 8 October 1904 in HANOVER. Subject claims to have established and
to have been the president of the NEW YORK OVERSEAS CORPORATION, located
at 60 Wall Street, NEW YORK CITY. During his banking career he has no
doubt made many contacts and accumulated vast experiences in this field.
Subject's arrogant attitude, probably leading back to his Wall Street days,
brought out quite clearly his psychological attempt to influence the interrogator
to his far reaching influence and importance to the business
world. During conversations he frequently clings to the name of Col.
HOFMANN of the Military Mission in MADRID for whom he had done certain
services. Statements and opinions versed regarding subject by various
sources, brand him as a her and unreliable. Subject is dangerous because
he possesses the gift to lead people where he wants to, and in the
opinion of the interrogator is capable of sordid deeds bordering on the
criminal. Subject worked for the SD in SPAIN, and it is true that later
on he also worked for Col HOFMANN. On 23 September 1946 when subject
was released, he was placed under the surveillance of security forces.
Subject was a member of the NSDAP from 1932 to 1939. Subject released to
