SOUTHFIELD 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, C Level Position for Perfect Sleep Experience the luxury of a bed that adjusts to any position.
