  1. First detailed interrogation report on Mueller, Agt., by Major Edmund
    Tilley, 27 October 1943, WO 201/1402B, TNA.

  2. See Claire M.  Hubbard-Hall and Adrian O’Sullivan, ‘Landscapes of
    Intelligence in the Third Reich: Visualizing Abwehr Operations and
    “Covert Space” during the Second World War’ [forthcoming in 2019].
    About the Wünsdorf camp (MAYBACH-I bunker village and ZEPPELIN
    signals bunker), see Hans-Albert Hoffmann, Die Bunkeranlagen von
    Wünsdorf (Wünsdorf Waldstadt: Bücherstadt Tourismus, n.d.); Hoffmann,
    Die deutsche Heeresführung im Zweiten Weltkrieg: Fakten und Momente aus
    dem Hauptquartier des Oberkommandos des Heeres (Berlin: Köster, 2017).

  3. Private papers of Raymond Maunsell, 4829, Documents Collection,

  4. Paul Leverkuehn, German Military Intelligence (London: Weidenfeld and
    Nicolson, 1954), 11; Klaus-Michael Mallmann and Martin Cüppers,
    Halbmond und Hakenkreuz: Das Dritte Reich, die Araber und Palästina
    (Darmstadt: WBG, 2006), 94; Hubbard-Hall and O’Sullivan, ‘Landscapes
    of Intelligence’ [forthcoming in 2019]. Readers should beware of Papen’s
    untrustworthy memoir: he blames everything that went wrong in the
    Middle East on the Italians, and he portrays Hitler as having far more
    interest in Iraq than he actually had. See Franz von Papen, Memoirs (New
    York: Dutton, 1953)), 475–7.

  5. First detailed interrogation report on Mueller, Agt., by Major Edmund
    Tilley, 27 October 1943, WO 201/1402B, TNA.  For details of the
    Hamilton Road, see Archibald Milne Hamilton, Road through Kurdistan:
    The Narrative of an Engineer in Iraq (London: Faber & Faber, 1937).
    Hamilton’s book was used by the Abw II OR planners as reference mate-
    rial and by the members of the MAMMUT expedition as a textbook. See
    also Adrian O’Sullivan, ‘German Covert Initiatives and British Intelligence
    in Persia (Iran), 1939–1945,’ DLitt et Phil diss. (UNISA, 2013), 191–2.

  6. Bernd Lemke has shown convincingly how Müller, vaguely motivated by
    the Wehrmacht’s need for new sources of oil supply, originally thought of
    mounting a special operation to secure the northern Iraq oilfields for
    Germany. See Bernd Lemke, Der Irak und Arabien aus der Sicht deutscher
    Kriegsteilnehmer und Orientreisender 1918 bis 1945: Aufstandsfantasien,
    Kriegserfahrungen, Zukunftshoffnungen, Enttäuschungen, Distanz
