In the late 1980s, Trish and I met famed author Charles Berlitz at a writer\u2019s event, and we later interviewed him AT his home in Fort Lauderdale for a magazine article. In my research about Berlitz before the interview, I discovered that he had been an agent in British intelligence during World War II. Considering that Berlitz, whose family found the Berlitz School of Language, spoke a couple of dozen \u2018tongues\u2019 himself, he was an ideal person for undercover work. He could move through different countries and cultures and seemingly blend in while gaining information. However, Berlitz was tight-lipped and would reveal nothing about his activities within British intelligence. \u00a0He simply said it remained classified…even after more than four decades.<\/p>\n

The same is the case for Agent 488 – psychotherapist Carl Jung, who was recruited by Alan Dulles, a former diplomat, who was associated with the U.S. agency that would become the CIA.<\/p>\n

In early November 1942, just as Britain and the United States were launching their invasion of North Africa, Dulles traveled to Switzerland for the \u00a0Office of Strategic Services. After it evolved into the CIA, Dulles would be the first and longest serving civilian director. Earlier in the war, the Nazis had attempted to recruit Jung as an agent, but he\u2019d declined. However, he had made contact with German plotting to overthrow Hitler, and he would use the information for the benefit of the allies.<\/p>\n

Jung saw Hitler as a mystic, a \u201cmedicine man,\u201d channeling the unconscious as well as conscious desires of the German people, and saw similarities with some of his patients who heard voices telling them what to do, according to an article, \u201cThe Shrink as Secret Agent,\u201d by Christopher Dickey in the Daily Beast.<\/a>\u00a0Jung thought of Hitler as a man who listened to a whispered voice from a mysterious source, and ignored his associates and advisors.<\/p>\n

Dulles gave Jung the code name Agent 488 and sent a telegram to David Bruce at the operational headquarters of the OSS in London suggesting he pay close attention to Jung was producing. Among other things, Jung predicted Hitler would commit suicide as the end came near.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the war, Allen Dulles told one of Agent 488\u2019s longtime disciples, \u201cNobody will probably ever know how much Professor Jung contributed to the Allied Cause during the war, by seeing people who were connected somehow with the other side.\u201d But Dulles said there was no way to reveal them: Jung\u2019s services were \u201chighly classified,\u201d they \u201cwould have to remain undocumented.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dickey\u2019s article made an interesting statement about the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, a comment that sounds strikingly similar to our current political situation in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as happens when any populist demagogue takes power, many people embraced him at first, many others were willing to makes excuses for him, and still others convinced themselves that they could live with him at least. Indeed, over the previous decade the vast majority of Germans were persuaded that Hitler understood them, and they understood him\u2014such was the chemistry between the man and his constituents\u2014even if much of the rest of the world found him appalling.<\/p>\n

To that end, Jung told an American reporter in 1938: \u201cHe (Hitler) is the loudspeaker which magnifies the inaudible whispers of the German soul.\u201d<\/p>\n
