Eberhard Gebauer is an agent in a German intelligence agency called the Abwehr. He notices Oskar Schindler’s gregariousness and sends him to Cracow for a position in the Abwehr. Perhaps Schindler accepts the position because he is looking to avoid serving as a solider, or perhaps he has not fully made his break with Nazi ideology yet. In any case, Schindler’s position in the Abwehr proves to be a valuable asset and helps him get out of difficult situations later.
