Hitler's Secret War in South America, 1939-1945: German Military Espionage and Allied Counterespionage in Brazil


Overview

First published in Brazil as ""Suastica sobre o Brasil"", this examination of the rise and fall of German espionage in that country created a national furore as former spies and collaborationists denounced it as a CIA ploy. Contained here are the colourful stories of such German agents as ""Alfredo"", probably the most important German operative in the Americas; ""King"", who was decoratred for his daring exploits but carelessly mentioned the real names of his collaborators in secret radio messages; the bumbling Janos Salmon; and the debonair Hans Kristian von Kotze, who ultimately betrayed the Abwehr (German military intelligence). This book resembles, but is not, fiction. It describes in detail the Allies' real battle against the Abwehr, a struggle highlighted by the interception and deciphering of German radio transmissions.
