Bryan, sorry I have been unable to confirm your information. Perhaps
another researcher may be more successful. In his memoirs, The
Labyrinth: Memoirs of Walter Schellenberg, Hitler's Chief of
Counterintelligence by Walter Schellenberg, he tells of his creation
of the guide, "I was ordered to prepare a small handbook for the
invading troops..." (more) (page 106)
In his book, The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich, William L. Shirer,
when discussing the author of the Special List, describes Schellenberg
as one of "Himmler?s bright young university graduates" (page 783/4)
Schellenberg rose through the ranks to become Brigadefuehrer
(Brigadier General) and General of Police and Waffen SS. He gave
evidence at Nuremberg and his full antecedents appear in an affidavit.

been educated in England, is a detailed analysis of how the Germans
thought the country worked. The second, equally intriguing section is
a list of the men and women the Gestapo had earmarked for immediate
arrest. Written in August 1940, the handbook sheds extraordinary light
on the British political system, the establishment, the church,
industry, the police, trade unions and even the Boy Scouts..."
