Nationalkomitee Freies Deutschland, he commanded a partisan
unit during the Slovakian uprising in 1944.
Gold’s intelligence work for the Soviet Union continued in earnest
following his relocation to Dresden in 1946. Two years later, he was
named director of the German Institute for Social and Economic
Problems in Berlin-Weissensee, a cover organization for Soviet intel-
ligence. With the founding of the Ministerium für Staatssicherheit
in 1950, a new position materialized as head of the personal security
division, which Gold held until his retirement in 1974. He died on 8
May 1977.GOLIATH, INGE (1941– ). A long-term agent of the Hauptver-
waltung Aufklärung, Inge Goliath (code name herta) was born
Inge Hanke. She was recruited in 1966 by one of the Romeo spies,
Wolfgang Goliath (code name nerz), and they married the following
year. Her subsequent position as secretary to Werner Marx, the lead-
ing spokesman of the Christlich-Demokratische Union for foreign
affairs, gave her access to confidential papers on defense strategy
and Cold War policies. In the wake of Operation anmeldung, Inge
and Wolfgang Goliath were exfiltrated to the German Democratic
Republic in March 1979 and resettled outside East Berlin. She also
held a press conference exposing the “machinations” of her former
employer.
GOLTZ, HORST VON DER (1884–?). A German agent active in
North America during World War I, Horst von der Goltz was born
Franz Wachendorf in Coblenz (his name change occurred later at the
suggestion of the German government). After leaving Germany in
1912 and serving briefly in the U.S. Army, he relocated to Mexico
and enlisted in the revolutionary army of Pancho Villa. Prior to the
outbreak of World War I, the German consul in Chihuahua recruited
Goltz for the espionage organization of Franz von Papen based in
New York. Their first sabotage efforts were directed at bombing the
Welland Canal in Canada to hinder troop and armament movements
to the European front. Working with a false passport in the name of
Bridgeman Taylor, Goltz engaged a small group of men, but the plan
was canceled at the last minute by Papen for reasons still unclear.
