Talk:Erich Gimpel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Operation Elster

Hello, I dont know the details of Gimpel, but there was some interaction with him and an Irish POW called John Codd, they were supposed to go on Operation Elster (plan to spy on/steal the Manhatten project) together before Otto Skozeny dropped Codd.

There is also a mention of an Operation Pelican- anyone know anything about that? Thanks. And is it worth writing a Operation Elster article and incorporating the details in this article? Ive done a series on German Intelligence in Ireland accessible via Operation Lobster. Let me know, thanks. Fluffy999 20:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Time of death

According to the blurb of his book at Amazon, Gimpel died in Germany in 1996. I am removing the reference to his 94th birthday until this can be verified.

Also, how could he have been interviewed for the 2003 episode of Oliver North's show if he died in 1996? This is very strange. Canadian Paul 00:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
