Helmut Clissmann

Helmut Clissmann (11 May 1911 – 6 November 1997)[1] was an Ireland-based Nazi Abwehr agent during World War II.

Before World War II, Clissmann was active in the German academic exchange service in Dublin.

He was surprisingly let off during the post-war Nazi court cases in Denmark and travelled shortly afterwards to Ireland.

He was also a founding member of what is now the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association and Amnesty International Ireland.

St Killian's German School was co-founded by him and he was made its honorary president-for-life.
