Overview

The Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Uruguay officially began in 1933, when Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor in Germany. Hitler restored the morale of the German people by arbitrarily blaming the Jewish people, Roma people, Freemasons, and Catholics, as the reason for Germany's failures after WWI. At the same time, Uruguay was going through a conservative period with dictator Gabriel Terra, who supported dictators such as Francisco Franco, Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler. It was due to Terra that the infiltration of the ""Fifth NAZI Column in Uruguay"" was possible, and practically undetectable among Uruguayans. On the other hand, those Europeans who emigrated to Uruguay because of these totalitarian regimes, were not going to tolerate Nazism. The public was kept informed by professor Artucio, who reported the intentions of the Nazi Party to the justice department; Congressman Cardoso, who convinced the Uruguayan Parliament to investigate; and the reports of the free press, like the newspaper El País, and international newspapers, like The Chicago Tribuneor the Examiner. Deposits of Nazi Frunks in Uruguayan banks, the paramilitary Assault Troops, the German Gliders and Paratroopers, the infiltration in German school, in industry, among Engineers, in the press; and in public institutions alarmed the Allies. President Roosevelt was aware of Hitler's plan to invade Uruguay since 1935. He passed a presidential decree prohibiting the sale of arms to companies and individual associated to Nazism and Fascism in Uruguay. But what really discouraged Hitler from invading Uruguay, was the presence of two battleships, USS Quincy and the USS Wichita sent by Roosevelt to Uruguay to intimidate Hitler in 1939 and in 1940. The Nazi leaders such as Fürhmann, Holzer, Pätz, Dutine, Becker, Klein, Meissner, and Gordon concocted a plan to invade Uruguay using Nazi reserves stationed in Buenos Aires and arms hidden in Misiones, Argentina. Once the country was in the hands of the Nazis, they would have occupied key administrative positions, if they haven't done it already during the infiltration; they were going to assassinate leaders of the press, politicians, Jewish people, and Freemasons. The ultimate goal was to convert Uruguay into a German Agricultural Colony, run exclusively by Germans, where the rest of the country would have been converted to slavery. For two generations Uruguay lost the knowledge presented in this book, while plenty of resources can be found in international publications. When the war ended, some Nazi followers secretly continue receiving Nazi propaganda, awaiting the resurgence of the Fourth Reich, but most of them abandoned embarrassing Nazis ideas, and if anyone asked questions, the answer was always ""ABOUT THAT WE DON'T TALK"".
