Heinrich Müller escaped from the ruins of Berlin and went to Switzerland in 1945 where he worked for their intelligence agencies. He was recruited in 1948 by Jim Critchfield, a CIA man, who ran the Gehlen Org in Pullach, Germany and who hired many SS and Gestapo personnel. Müller's employment was, and is, a very sensitive public relations matter and the only people in the United States who knew who he was were President Harry Truman, General Walter Bedell Smith, head of the CIA, and his primary handler, Robert Trumbull Crowley, later a CIA deputy director. When Heinrich Müller was hired by the CIA in 1948, he had misgivings about working for his former enemies but pragmatism and the lure of large amounts of money won him over to what he considered to be merely an extension of his life-work against the agents of the Comintern. What he discovered after living and working in official Washington for four years was that the nation¹s capital was, in truth, what he once humorously claimed sounded like a cross between a zoo and a lunatic asylum. His journals, in addition to personal letters, various reports and other personal material, give a very clear, but not particularly flattering, view of the inmates of both the zoo and the asylum.
