Journalist who interviewed Wilhelm Voss, the director general of the Skoda Works, in 1949, and who published the resulting account decades later as Blunder! How the U.S. Gave Away Nazi Supersecrets to Russia (1985).
Why the name is load-bearing
Everything the modern literature says about the Kammlerstab, the sealed research organisation Hans Kammler is said to have run inside Skoda beyond the knowledge of Speer and Goering, traces back through Agoston to those 1949 interviews. There is no second, independent chain. The Hunt for Zero Point is explicit about this, and it is the single most important sourcing fact in the whole Nazi-technology strand: a claim that has been repeated for forty years rests on one journalist’s notes of one man’s recollection.
That is not a reason to discard it. Voss was in a position to know, he had no obvious motive, and he told American counter-intelligence the same thing, which is when he was reportedly ordered never to speak of it again. It is a reason to say where it comes from every time it is used.
