To hopefully add to the immense amount of information on Gladio you all and especially Magda Hassan provided:
Oswald LeWinter: Please see my post in the thread on LeWinter's Vietnam poem for information that seems not to be available online concerning LeWinter's quite probably marginal involvement in the Charlie Manson case.
Yves Guerin-Serac née Yves Felix Guillou: See http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/47128-...rin-serac/ for photographs of his medals, documents and the perhaps only extant photograph of the man himself (all from before he joined the OAS). These military items look authentic enough to the Pacifist I generally am. There is also some information about his activities after Aginter Presse dissolved.
Guerin-Serac would have been 86 this year. The last mention of his whereabouts seems to be in Laurent's and Calvi's "Black Orchestra" (1997). They found him in Spain, and he immediately disappeared for good.
Perhaps he wrote this book? http://www.abebooks.de/Seguridad-Individ...6083567/bd
In my opinion, Yves Guerin-Serac's role is absolutely crucial in many respects.
Elio Ciolini: An informant/disinformant in the Bologna case (the ramifications of his testimony are endless: apart from the interesting enough Italian angle, there is the Cocain Coup in Bolivia which involved German Nazis and neo-nazis, Barbie and the BND, delle Chiaie of course...).
He also, and this came as quite a surprise to me, worked as a CIA agent in Belgium at the time of the Brabant massacres and collaborated with the Haemers gang. For this, see http://database.statewatch.org/article.asp?aid=1964
More recently Ciolini, or someone by the same name, has been implicated in some sort of financial fraud together with a man called Jonathan Clinard.
I would like to expand as well as provide sources, background etc., but do unfortunately not have too much time on my hands. This has been written in a hurry by a non-native speaker.
Nevertheless, I hope it has been worth your while.
Ralf
