Walter Kopp was Lieutenant Colonel of the Wehrmacht under the Third Reich. After the Nazi defeat in 1945, he became the chief of one stay-behind networks in West Germany, code-named Kibitz-15. The British and US intelligence services had set up clandestine anti-communist organisations supposed to "stay-behind" in case of a Soviet invasion. Walter Kopp was described by his own North-American handlers as an "unreconstructed Nazi," in CIA documents released in June 2006[1].
