...served as headquarters of Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess. There, behind double rows of concrete walls and steel fences, Gehlen plotted some of the crucial undercover moves of the cold war. He recruited agents throughout Eastern Europe, even had a minister in the East German government in his employ, smashed a Czech-run spy ring in West Germany and provided the West with a realistic assessment of Soviet power that helped the U.S. to call Soviet bluffs over Berlin. The Central Intelligence Agency regarded Gehlen as one of its best investments...

When Adenauer stepped aside in favor of Ludwig Erhard, Gehlen's standing declined in Bonn, partly because Erhard mistrusted espionage, and partly because of disclosures that two of Gehlen's aides had been double agents in Soviet employ.

...Guerre Est Finie by Alain Resnais. Resnais continues to employ a mosaic technique where flashbacks and quick montages of thoughts and objects are inserted, reaffirming Resnais' flair for visual stream of consciousness. Where Hiroshima Mon Amour used mostly flashbacks, La Guerre Est Finie's inserts are mostly flash-forwards: fears and premonitions of Diego, the middle-aged Spanish revolutionary, played so magnificently by Yves Montand. In sight and Sound, Tom Milne describes Diego as caught between two worlds "in more ways than one: between Spain and France, between youth and age, between the old Spain of the International Brigade...
