Hi Mikedc. Glad you like it I have had this picture for a number of years but as an ex soldier in them days I moved around a lot hence I lost the info. Actually your info is more than I had so thanks for that.
I am sure I have some pictures of Abwehr Officers who served in Holland I will look them out and get back to you.
Thanks again Harmel

Kriminalrat Schreider was indeed one of the key figures in the so-called Englandspiel (March 1942). Here is a photo of him in court with agent-provocateur Anton van der Waals (left). jv

Indeed he was, I've the Dutch translation from the book about this Englandspiel and it's a very
fascinating book indeed. And Van der Waals was one of the most notorious double agents during
WW-2, he played a very nasty part in this Englandspiel.


Greetz,

Hi Steve

it would be most important for me to find out if he had brothers or sisters.

Does anyone know?

thanks

I also still didn't find the date of death yet from Joseph Schreieder(I found info under this name and also under Joseph Schreider, curious to know how his name was spelled correctly).

Around 1955 he was also working for Radio Free Europe, according to a piece I found in Wikipida.
