De-classified CIA-file on KIBITZ-15 [pdf]

This declassified CIA-file, a report adressed to the Chief of Mission in Frankfurt, describes a meeting between a CIA-agent (Chief, FHB) and head of the German stay-behind network KIBITZ-15 net, Walter Kopp (CIA-Cryptonym: KIBITZ-15), on 16th October 1952 in a safehouse in Heidelberg, run by the KIBITZ network, established and financed by the CIA.

Walter Kopp reports on a stay-behind network established by former Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS personnel under the name of "Soldatenselbsthilfe in Sueddeutschland", also known as South Wurttemberg Officers Group. Kopp names Col. Albert Paul Schnez of Stuttgart as manager and frontman and General of Infantry Rudolf von Bünau as head of the organization.

Statements by Schnez quoted in the documents suggest that the project to build a clandestine army was also supported by Hans Speidel -- who would become the NATO Supreme Commander of the Allied Army in Central Europe in 1957 -- and Adolf Heusinger, the first inspector general of the Bundeswehr.
