An assassin almost collected in 1953, but the bullet-resistant glass in Gehlen's Mercedes deflected the revolver slugs. That was the closest the Communists came, for Gehlen was a furtive quarry. He allowed no pictures to be taken (the only postwar photograph of him was a sneak shot taken in 1957), traveled under aliases, continually switched the license plates...
