Horst von der Goltz (born Franz Wachendorf in 1884 in Koblenz) was a German counterintelligence agent during World War I (WWI). In 1918, his autobiography, ''My Adventures as a German Secret Service Agent'', was published. Written and directed by Raoul Walsh, von der Goltz appeared as himself in the U.S. propaganda film, ''The Prussian Cur'' for Fox Film Corporation. The film was produced by the U.S. Committee on Public Information and designed to influence public opinion about the involvement of the United States in WWI. == Life ==
At the age of 16, Wachendorf was deported from Brussels back to the German Empire. In 1911, apparently under the direction of the German intelligence service, he stole a draft of a confidential agreement between Mexico and Japan. This draft was leaked to the USA, resulting in two-thirds of the U.S. Army converging on the southern border with Mexico. In 1912, Wachendorf moved to the USA for the first time and served briefly in the United States Army. Wachendorf also served in Pancho Villa's revolutionary army in Mexico and attained the rank of Major. To impress the Mexicans, he took the name ''Horst von der Goltz'', the name under which he and other German mercenaries from Villa's Opposition were detained for a time in Chihuahua. The consul there began recruiting him to work in the espionage ring of Franz von Papen. After WWI began, on August 3, 1914, Wachendorf's commanding general, Raúl Madero, set him free for six months. Goltz met the German consul Otto Kueck in El Paso, Texas, who told him about the new Office of Military Attache of Franz von Papen (for sabotage and subversion) in the Wall Street District of New York City, which he soon joined.
