NODULE X7 OSWALD IN MINSK AND THE U2 DUMP: JANUARY ...

December 1960. I am having a light affair with Nell Korobka."
The Warren Commission named Eric Titovyets as OSWALD'S oldest existing
acquaintance. In his Historic Diary, OSWALD reflected he did not trust Eric, who was a
loyal Communist Party member, and did not tell him he was returning to the United
States until one day before his departure. [CIA 1295-482, 1295-482]
OSWALD: JANUARY 1961
January 1, 1961 - New Years I spend at home of Ella Germain. I think I
am in love with her. She has refused my more dishonourable advances,
we drink and eat in the presence of her family in a very hospitable
atmosphere. Later I go home drunk and happy. Passing the river
homewards, I decide to propose to Ella.
January 2, 1961. After a pleasent hand-in-hand walk to the local cinima
we come home, standing on the doorstep I propose's. She hesitates than
refuses, my love is real but she has none for me. Her reason besides lack
of love: I am american and someday simply might be arrested simply
because of that example Polish Intervention in 20's led to the arrest of
poeple in the Soviet Union of Polish origin "you understand the world
situation there is too much against you and you don't even know it." I am
stunned she snickers at my awkarness, in turning to go (I am too stunned
tothink!) I realize she was never serious with me but only expolited my
being an american, in order to get the envy of the other girls who consider
me different from the Russian Boys. I am misarable.
January 3, 1961. I am misarable about Ella. I lover her but what can I do?
It is the state of fear which was always in the Soviet Union.
Priscilla Johnson related that LEE told Marina Oswald "Being American, German
thought I was a spy." He confided that he "loved Ella with all his heart," and "her only
fault was that at 24 she was still a virgin, due entirely to her own desire...Our last formal
date was in February 1961 after which I stopped seeing her." [Johnson Lee & Marina
p401: CIA Name List with Traces] Was Ella German reporting back to the KGB? The
CIA's Name List With Traces: "An American visitor in Moscow on 19(??) reported being
assigned an interpreter named Ella Herman (also spelt German) who was described as
single, Jewish and in her early 30's with an excellent command of English including a
good vocabulary in thermodynamics. She claimed to have two years of experience
translating for a chemical institute. Ella Herman was furnished by the Moscow
Energetics Institute and was reportedly attached to the English chair of the Institute."
Vladimir Semichastny said OSWALD'S primary interest was womanizing.
