Biographical data an Gen Adolf )11021110101 isrforwarded herewith as enclosure (1).Paragraph 4 of enolosure (1) la believed in error in stating that after 1945 Gen inagagmesettled In Mao* and from 1948 ■ 1951 he ocoupied himself as a free lance writer. WenMUM °encoded to the fact that during this period he was easoolated with Gin (BMWsSES, It is further known that ebile associated with OBBLO, Gin MUSING= acted as Chiefot the GIS Army Ivaluation Section until the year 1951 when he was appointed as Chiefac's Advisor to the present Minister of Defense Rerr Theodore BLANK.

b. Meal/10MM plane was used for the transportation of the German offiolals to andfrets the Neditenvenean. Oen RAMMER appeared punotually at the Bonnalahn airport in aswill Opel sedan driven by a semi.uniformed obsuffer who appeared more as a servant thmnan member of the military. It Gould not be said that Gen BRUSINM was in the beet of &pile.its as boarding the aircraft, he appeared resigned* and as if he were 4 soldier about to do-part an a mission ordered by his superiors. The minute and detailed German translation ofopen publieations provided by the Offlas of Naval Attache, to acquaint the German officialswith the capebilities end the tasks of the Sixth Fleet, the charts en the Neditarreneon suppplied by CONNIVONN, the coffee, smokes, newspapers and gum provided by CONNAVOIR PM Berlinand the prevalent atmosphere brought about Gen amomaNa'a first display of enthusiasm forthe fOrthesondag visit with the Sixth Fleet. 2be initial indifferent attitude of oak maIMOM may possibly be attributed to the sentiment attached to the Nester holidays by most%roams regerdless of their religion. It Is noted that the departure from Bonn was EasterSunday and that Raster Monday is also an official holiday in the Fed. Rep.

e. Obviously- in • better disposition, Oen RIOSINGRN engaged In a lenathly conversationwith Gen IMMO. This officer was at a loss to explain the variety of rather sensitiveteples of conversation disouased by the two (2) Generals in his presence. Oen =GRIMMdiscussed such topless as developments in recent SUPS meetings, inability to procure matte.lent dollar allotments for the visit to the Sixth Pleat, and he criticized the actions ofthe Personnel Screening Committee as well as the recant attack on Gin MUSING= publishedby the ISPINIBIL!. Rs also dismissed the German General Staff reaction to Colonel KINUNIUMORisPreemie with the German mission assigned to Paris, and the various personalities best gaitedtor unoocupled billets in the Gerson Army. Although both Generals acted as very *loess friendsit appeared that General LANNI= did not have many opportunities to talk in private withGeneral MOSINONN. At least it so appeared from the points Gin LAUWEWAR discussed with GeeMOSINGIS written in his note book. After the choice seat of this officer was relinquishedto Admiral 10101M the conversation °banged to naval matters end Gen BASSIN= listened tothe progress achieved by Admirals NUOR and MONKS from the day they assumed their naval remsponsibilitios in Bonn. This also appeared to be the first opportunity for Admiral RAMStie balm a private talk with Gen INDISINGIR, Gen LABORINN abstained from this conversation.

d. The genuine interest of Oen REUSINGO in naval matters and operation was beat die.played at the COMBIITBFLT briefing arranged in the CO's cabin at 1000 on 2 April. It wasCan HEMMER who posed the most strategic and taotical questions to Capt. R. L. SMART,Operations Officer of COMSZCGOZT. This occasion presented Admiral WAGNER with an opporianw.ity to volunteer his professional abilities, and thus, to introduce himself as a navel ad.visor, • role *blob he maintained throughout the remainder of the visit.

0. Gin MOSIMEM did not control his remarks of enthusiasm during the A/B exercise (mooducted aboard the Flagship and during the above bombardment of the Porto &ludo apes. Ropever.he displayed his greatest enthusiasm during the air operations aboard the TICOMORROGA, whomhe sold that this wet his greatest experienoe sinse WW II.

f. Paragraph 4 of enclosure (1) states that Gem REISINGER is a *Typical staff officerof the Old school. Today regarded es a walking military dictionary In this anew'sopinion the latter statement may be expanded to insert *precise walking . military dictionary*.Bo i.e meticulous in his mennerisatand in his actions, and he rosins a soldier in ovary MIR.amt. He listens attentively to explanation's, and be does not hesitate to ask questions.Hours later he ponders over his own conclusions which do not necessarily coincide with theseof others. He is in excellent physical conditions believed to be a result of strict mederamtion end stern determination to keep in good shape. Re displayed no strain after the moststrenuous inspection trips throughout the ship's spools. It was Gen MUMMER who studiedthe pamphlet on the TICONDEROGA after he retired one evening, and it wee he who explained tothe pemeluder of the party the next day the dimenticos of the carrier and its VW II history.Gen HEMMER admires discipline and respects striot adherence to segulatisnsg he read allposted rogaletions. Be his the ability to relax, and he attributes his remaining eels and•ftiolent in his "PEITAGO/e shop to his *closing the door completely* after he leaves theoffice. Re has many hobbies, and he stated that the greatest difficulty encountered by GenMIDSISIDT after his retirement wee that *he could not find a thing to do*. Oen MUM=left this officer with the impression that he is slightly proariticht he spoke highly of theBritish military system and he sympathized with the many difficulties with which BritainLa confronted.

g. It cannot be said that Gto HEOSIMBE is not sociable. At a 000ktail party wrongedon A April for the German visitors at the house of Capt. C. L. FREEMAN, Chief of Staff, csat.=UM Gem MUMMER enjoyed his (2) two refreshments and mixed barmonously with the wivesand officers of the !lief. Later that evening, at a dinner arranged for the German officials,?›by ADM SCRISMER, COMMIS, Gem MUMMER appeared to be free of all his military (jiiijiieven enjoyed sena rio0 stories told by DIP ZAMBLER. Oen HEMMER is a moderate eiaker;he enjoys Robert Burn's olgerillos, but not cigarettes. He enjoys solitude, and likes tovoila end read. Be likes wines, but he also enjoys the U.S. type of refreabsuot prier todining.

3. bliaSioclaztiaillata. Little can be added to the biographical data already submitted on ADM wham. AM

WRIER is senior in rank to OEN LAMLE, and this fact was established by ADM WAN= soonafter the COMNAVOM aircraft left Bonn. However, in contrast to GEN HEUSINGER, ADO! WAGNERis not hardened with the Prussian mannerism, nor with the stern meticulosity of a typicalGerman Arsy General Staff officer. This is not to say that AMIE/MIR is not preaise,nor that he does not detect the most minute discrepancies. It is rather an attempt to

bulaY that AM WEER manages to confront sitastions with more ease and in a more diplomatic'and democratic fashion. mammal would respond to courtesies with a salute or even shakehands with a sailor. It appeared that AM RAMOS was the *more popular* member of the Cksinan-visitors, possibly because of his naval uniform, but most likely because of the %City*

. appearance of his heavy end unusually long black eye brows, and snow white hair. (Here itmust also be said that the new German Army uniform leaves much to be desired should onsparisoebe made with the traditional naval uniform adopted by the German Navy).

b. AM WAGNER appeared content and happy to be aboard a *live ship*. His presencewas everywhere, and his interest unlimited, He carefully explained to GER MOSINGSR thosepoints which he believed needed to be stressed or elaborated upon. At times he drew acomparison with the various equipment installed aboard German vessels in the past, or hestressed the advantages of O.S. equipment or U.S.. Navy methods or syeteme for the new ikeisum/Wry. It was noted that asm HEMIRGER sought to verify AM mmamsa gs recommendations with11.3. Navel officers, with whom he introduced the recommendations on every occasion. Itappeared that AURWAIMEE was cognizant of GER HEMINGER's astuteness for he did not volunteerany explanation of which he was not absolutely certain.

0. Although AM WAGNER is about 58 years old his physical condition appeared to beexcellent. With surprising elasticity he followed GER HEMMER up and down the ladders, andhe was not contented until he was absolutely certain that no additional decks remaineduninspeoted. This was the case during the inspection of the mechanism of the fully aubonstioguns. It was noted that a times ADM WAGNER breathed rather heavily, but this asthma conditimmdoes not appear to make him unoonfortable. ADM WAGNER is not as versatile with the Englishlanguage as . OEN HEWINUERI however, he understands English much better than he speaks.Although he makes a serious attempt to remain moderate in his drinking and smoking habits,AM WAGNER enjoys Pall Mall cigarettes, cigarillos, and Havasu cigars; he prefers whisker,cocktails and wine to beer. On two (2) occasions, GEN num= and AM WAGNER dismassdthe advisability of adopting the U.S. Navy *dry slap* regulation in the German Navy: howeveron both owns/one, ADM WARNER humorously retorted that this would be possible only afterthe German Navy is formed and in full operation - otherwise it would be impossible torecruit a sailor in Germany.
