About the organisation, by which certain people have been approached and

In Reference Tot Tour Communication Be. 282 of 15 September 1952.

'Inclosed we return the attachments to referenced repert. The follow.

int attitude is taken with regard to the affair.

1. This place (station) has nothing to do with the incident.

There are no stations, sohoole, etc. in the named areas which have any

connection whatever with this station.

2. Of the named persons, Prof. Huottl is known here. There are

several reports that he lives in GA/MISCH or BBROBTBSGAD21. Berly in

October, 1951 he was named a member of the BDJ In the Bavarian area,

apparently In a control function (executive capacity). His subordinate

in BD-matters was a certain Peters.

In lebruary 1.952 it was reported that Huottl, a former Sudeten

German, gyan teacher in Junior High School*, reserve officer of the

former Oseeheelevakian Army, then %men Army, supposed bearer of the

Knights Gross, was active in the Presidium of the *Gorman Youth of the

Nast*, an anticommunist youth organisation. He collaborates with U.S.

authorities and influences the youth to take part in partisan activities

in the event of a Soviet occupation of West Germany. He is supposedly

baying ski huts in the mountains and caching weapons. In July 1952 it

was reported that Huottl was seeking contacts in the circles of the

SuAoton German Sooleties, apparently with an ND background.

3. Sy chance it twosome known that en the night of 13.14 September

1932 the Hessian State government carried out a raid on a *moons Caching

Team of the SDJ which was apparently operating in good standing with U. S.

group*. Also in this connection, a certain MORS was reported, perhaps

identical with the MORS mentioned by this station as being connected with

guettl in October 1951.

4. It is possible that the circles name& in Paragraphs 2 are the

same as these indicated in Paragraph 3.

Comments

This station (stalls) would be thankful for a secure handing of the

enclosed information since it involves people who, though they nay have

chosen an unreasonable course, are nonetheless of a sincere German sentiment

and anti-Soviet attitude.

1. Through an official liason have come additional reports of a

morose of a 'Duni Ventsoher hone OHUn Group, who have been planning

acts of sabotage in the event of being ever-run by the Soviets, and who

are marrying out the caching ef weapons in cooperation with U. S. service

groups. an the 13th and 114th of September 1.952 a raid was made on the

It is suspected that this action was an SPH attack against the Federal

Government.

the *Ir. II School" of this BDJ Group. This organisation has nothing

to demith the subject matter. It is therefore re quested that further
