When Hitler cane to sower, a central academy for the OUN was founded in
perlin. ‘The Jazis spared no expense in Ouilding this academy anc supplyins it with
rt instructors and scientilic equipment. Tne academy's aadress is 75 Lecklen-_
burgiscne Strasse, Berlin. Its title is "School tor Zspionace, Sadotase and
Terrorism."
The OUN received its first major setback in 1936 when the Soviet Government
smashed its entire underground organization in the Ukraine. That same year, Hitler and
Nicolai reached an agreement that Colonel Konovaletz, head of the OUN, was rather too
well acquainted with the secrets of the German Government, and that his international
influence had reacied a point where it might prove difficult to control.....They
therefore arranged for a special preseat to de del. ed to Lorovaletz 4 attardia:,
where he s sthesding é relists." One of his own aides,
who was a trusted Gestapo man, handed him the reset outside the convention hall,
telling him that it was a personal gift. ‘hen the Colonel openec the small package,
the bomb exploded and tore.him to bits. He became the wartyr of the Ukrainian
moveuent, and hich Nazis have since remarked tit Konovaletz has proved even more
valuable to then dead than “alive.

the "Salesman of Terror" returnea to the United States to develop the Jl.U and sprea
its sinister branches across the fort;-ci:nt states. Scores of "Front" organizations
were set up.
For thos; of his United States agenis wiio were unaole to attend the German
espionage-sabotage schools, Senyk-Gribiwisky drew up a special emoranaum of
instractions which could de usea oy them as a textoook. A couy oi this extraordinary
document has come into the possession of tne authors, and the portions oF it quoted
are translated and ,»uolishea tor the first time.
The authors thereupon quote a series of paragraphs from this textbook which
are of no particular value to the Bureau as it is merely advice given by Senyk-Gribivi
to his agents as to how to stay under cover and what to do in case the agent is
caught, ana so forth.
