Drawing heavily on recently declassified sources, this examination of German wartime intelligence services traces the logistical and strategic expansion of the Third Reich's foreign covert operations in World War II. Beginning with the changes introduced to counteract institutional neglect, the author describes attempts to penetrate both neutral and adversarial nations outside territories occupied by the Wehrmacht. The Nazis created covert teams for counterintelligence and penetrating border defenses. Strategies were formed for assembling saboteur divisions in North and South America, while data were gathered on industrial installations to target. American fascist movements of the 1930s are discussed, along with Nazi sabotage missions in the United States and intelligence penetrations and domestic collusion in Latin America.
This book examines the attempts by the Nazi high command and the German military to construct an international intelligence and counterintel ligence service during World War II. A secret service community proficient enough to penetrate neutral and enemy nations beyond the Wehrmacht’s reach was the Third Reich’s goal, a capability notably absent from Field Marshal Keitel and Jodl’s arsenal by the time Germany’s troops entered Prague and Warsaw. The approach by this author is to examine the agencies and missions in their actions
in the international arena and analyze the planning, execution and consequences. A central argument is that infringements by rival internal intelligence agencies and interdepartmental policy irreparably hampered decision making and damaged endeavors at turning this objective into realization.
