irvaded his home region of
Krasnodar in the Trans-
Caucasus region of Russia.
Upon entry into the U.S.

1955, he swore on his visa
application that he "was
with the German army"

According to the Berlin
Documentation Center, on
Jan. 4,1945, Soobzokov was
assigned to a unit of the
Waffen-SS as an
Obersturmfuehrer or 1st Lt.
Before that date "It can be
assumed that . . . (he) per-
formed services with organ-
izations such as SS-
Bandenkampfvergaende,
SS-Einsatzgruppen or simi-
lar irregular forces," a Be-
rlin Documentation Center
analysis states.
Articles by Nazi war
crimes authority Charles R.
Allen, Jr., in the December
1977 and March 1978 issues
of Jewish Currents and by
investigative reporter Herb
Jaffe in a Newark Star-
Ledger series in March,
April and May 1978,
documented Soobzokov's
Nazi past and also his em-
ployment by American in-
telligence agencies.
Government sources
credited both the Allen
articles and Jaffe's series
with having a great im-
pact on the decision to
file denaturalization
papers against Soob-
zokov.
Another alleged Nazi war
criminal against whom the
government filed de-
naturalization papers last
month may also have been
used by U.S. intelligence
agencies.
Allen says that Karl Lin-
nas, of Greenlawn, N.Y.,
has been active in political
emigre groups such as the
Assembly of Captive Na-
tions which has been linked
with U.S. intelligence oper-
ations.
Linnas is the subject of a
Freedom of Information Act
request by Allen to ascer-
tain if he is one of the 44
alleged Nazi war criminals
the FBI admitted utilizing
or contacting.
In a March 1978 report,
the General Accounting
Office of the House of
Representatives said that
the CIA admitted con-
tacting at least 22 ac-
cused Nazi war criminals
and employing at least 16.
The FBI admitted having
"contacted" 44 alleged Nazi
war criminals and having
employed seven. Allen says
he has documented evi-
dence that at least 149 Nazi
war criminals have been
utilized by U.S. intelligence
agencies.
The suits against Soob-
zokov and Linnas and suits
against Wolodimir Osidach
of Philadelphia and Bohan
Kozly, of Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., also filed last month,
