Aid to the Enemy?

[EDH]

The Associated Press reported today that
long secret documents revealed the US government
sent millions to the Japanese through a Swiss bank
account during World War II. The purpose was to
provide aid to American POW's.

I would like to know what other secret negotiations
were taking place during the war. Was there communication
between the Allies and the Nazi's other than on the
battlefield? What was discussed in these communications?
Were there negotiations or proposals to end the war without
an invasion of Europe by the Allies?

Probably the CIA no doubt if these Negotiations did take place...toward
the end of the war I have heard stories that the CIA hid SS Soldiers and
Higher Ranking Officers after the Germans Surrended. I wouldnt doubt
America was making negotiations with them.

There was supposedly a certain amount of trade. Quinine for tungsten sort
of stuff.

The Americans sent the names of the internees, Americans, permanent
resident aliens of German heritage interned in the United States to Third
Reich--the Nazi-- what is most disheartening and disturbing about this, these
lists inlcuded the names of the German-Jews who were interned in the U.S.
These lists have been located in the German Archives. In this instance
it is obvious what was discussed.

This would be a neat trick since the CIA did not exist until AFTER the war.
However, I watched a documentary which told the story of how our government
with the help of the French and British governments, helped to hide many top
Nazi's because we wanted them to help us develop our own spy agency. At the
time, the Germans were considered to have some of the best spies and
technology.

If that is so, they sure didn't use them against England during the
war. England had such an effective counter spy group that it appears
no German spy successfully landed or snuck into England. From what
I've read, every single one of them was captured and either turned,
imprisoned or executed.

They weren't "top Nazis", they were Intelligence officers of the German
Army from their "Ost" sections, that is, those familar with the Soviet
military, it capabilities, orders of battle and tactics, chief among them,
General Gehlen, who later became head of the West German "CIA".

Wasn't the Germans the only experts in the SU subjects?
Brits were infiltrated, France was weak after the war.

Yo Corky,
Ya know, I got a feeling we will learn otherwise in about 20-30
years. For some reason I have always found that a "propaganda"
statement. I mean, would England really admit to it if it were true? Or
better yet, I think some of those guys went on to work for either side
during the cold war, so why compromise them? One more point, if the
statement was made in good faith, then I would have to say that it only
represents those the UK knew about.
Anybody ever come across something to back me up on this?
