CIA refused to search its operational files for records on Werner von Alvensleben, who served as a valued double agent for OSS in Africa in World War II. Von Alvensleben was an associate of Texas School Book Depository Building (TSBD) owner David Harold Byrd and was in Dallas as a guest of Byrd in late 1963. Von Alvensleben served as an assassin in 1933 for Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler, and was arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned by the Austrians for participation in an assassination attempt. Von Alvensleben resided in Portuguese East Africa where he ran a large Safari hunting company called Safarilandia. There are reports that David Harold Byrd was at Safarilandia on November 22, 1963, however a photograph taken of the man said to be Byrd clearly is not Byrd. A search of CIA operational files would reveal whether von Alvensleben was an asset of CIA at the time of the JFK assassination, when he was a friend and associate of TSBD building owner Byrd.
