Apologies for resurrecting a two year old thread but has anyone come across any new information from the former video that Peter listed above. The ZDF documentary specifically with John Richardson, claiming that his father was an OSS operative on the ALSOS mission and eventually brought Kammler to USA. He has posted a whole slew of things on various websites about his father's military record which I have been unable to verify through any records requests. I believe both Andreas Sulzer and Rainer Karlsch were working on a future documentary as a follow up that unfortunately was looking like it might jump down the Highjump rabbit hole but I have not seen any items recently in German media recently.
I have at least verified through US military record requests that Donald W. Richardson, from Michigan was at least a soldier in the time frames that he has provided through that interview and other posts but I was unable to verify through the released OSS members list. There was another Donald Richardson listed with a differing middle initial with a less interesting service record, but I was unable to that he was either an agent or worked with the ALSOS mission. Of course with the War Crimes Disclosure Act that let a lot of this documentation out to NARA would preclude anything of this nature being brought up as it specifically has to do with weapons development.
The younger Richardson is at least an attendee at OSS Society functions and has attended a few AFIO conferences over the years but I have not been able to verify he is an actual member of either of these organizations. His linkedin page is also rather peculiar but does not scream former intell type.
I had written a small bit about the Gehlen Org in the past for my dissertation and became absolutely fascinated several years ago at how this whole Black-Sun mythos and Kammler is apparently even to this day surrounded by far right fascists and the intelligence types who want to manipulate them.
You guys have a great community with a lot of information as I have been lurking over the years! Thanks for all the information and thoughtful postings of articles!
