One of the most valuable spies for the Western Allies inside the German Army during World War II, Zechmann has "the sly blank face of a cabaret comedian." Zechmann easily sees through Hubbard Christopher's ruse about being his cousin Elliott when he returns to Nazi Germany and offers to help find Christopher's missing wife, Lori. In 1945, Zechmann and his agents surrender to Hubbard and are "reconstituted intact as the Zechmann Bureau, an arm of The Outfit" (pg. 117.) Barnabas "Barney" Wolkowicz, Hubbard's lieutenant who cannot stand Zechmann, sets up a sting operation to prove that the Zechmann Bureau has been infiltrated, but fails. Zechmann wants to marry Ilse, but loses out to Barney.
