SUCCESSFUL ESPIONAGE German agents in Iran have been generously supplied with Reichsbank gold and their tasks of espionage and corruption have met with some success. There has been extensive Nazi infiltration and there is sound reason for as- suming that their activities have met with considerable success amongst the officers and ranks of the Iranian Army. This is ав achievement which has gratified Hitler.
