A estrutura da espionagem alemã no Brasil durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939 - 1945)

Abstract

This article seeks to understand how German espionage was structured in Brazil during the period of the Second World War (1939-1945). For this purpose, it uses sources directly to Intelligence Agencies: diplomatic correspondence, criminal files, direct reports of spies who worked during the aforementioned period in Brazil, biographies of great icons of world espionage and special works in the area that help us to capture the differences and similarities that present themselves between the actions of German agencies and others. Thus, we will use the methods based on the Annales school, in view of the pioneering spirit of this school in the use of “unofficial” sources, its methodological profile fits perfectly into the objective of giving voice to Intelligence Agents. Marc Bloch, one of the main exponents of this school, acted as an intelligence agent in the French resistance, something that makes it more than appropriate.
