Description

Heinz Erwin KALLMANN: German naturalized American. A physicist of Jewish extraction who fled Germany to the UK in 1934, emigrating to the USA in 1939. His name appeared in papers found by the Germans in Paris in December 1942 (and recovered by the British in 1945) in the possession of the Russian Intelligence Service agent Henri ROBINSON, as a source (probably unconscious) for a sub-source, identified only as 'Professor', of ROBINSON's head agent in GB. Most of the file deals with attempts to identify 'Professor'
