Dr Otto John
Did West Germany's Chief of Internal Intelligence defect on 20 July 1954. when he vanished from Berlin: or was he kidnapped by a Soviet agent? Why did he suddenly return, 17 months later, to West Germany where he was arrested, tried and sentenced to four years' hard labour?
On the eve of the British publication of his autobiography, Twice Through the Lines, DR OTTO JOHN talks to BRIAN CONNELL. He discusses his part in the anti-Nazi 'German Resistance Movement; his escape to Britain after the failure of the plot to blow up the Führer on 20 July 1944: the circumstances of his mysterious disappearance 18 years ago: and his fight to clear his name. Producer MICHAEL EMBER
(Paul Rotha 's documentary The Life of Adolf Hitler : World Cinema, BBC2 Thursday, 10.10 pm: followed bv Late Night Line-Up's assessment of The Plot to Kill Hitler ' in which Dr Otto John also takes part)
