Who was the most underestimated Wehrmacht General in the Second World War? In this video we talk about one of the "non-operational guys", as such we look behind the front lines. We look at Reinhard Gehlen, who from 1942 to 1945 was the head of Fremde Heere Ost (Foreign Armies East), which was the German's Army Military Intelligence Service for the Eastern Front.
