The recruiting of fi,h41:1- for copit 27 seems to have followed the same pattern: as 900D rie German had been captured be was before a German officer who wat. a member of the National Committee 'Weiss Deutschland".

Parachute training for the agents of the NIND sae held on an air1i.1.1 in the neighborhood of Moscow. The program consisted of a' theret. course (e;plenition of the parachute, etc.) and a practical coarz.e, consisting of jujps from a mock.up and two jumps from an airplane, flying at a height of about 500 a. A few weeks sometimes elaple3 between the two courses. Approved For Release .2000108/23 -RDP65-00756R000600400004-8
