Estoy convencido de que, en estas circunstancias, no me quedaba otra resolución que tomar después de haber conducido mi buque a la “trampa” de Montevideo. En efecto, toda tentativa para abrir un camino hacia alta mar estaba condenada al fracaso a causa de las pocas municiones que me quedaban. Una vez agotadas esas municiones, sólo en aguas profundas podía hundir el buque a fin de impedir que el enemigo se apoderara de él. Antes de exponer mi navío a caer parcial o totalmente en manos del enemigo, despu batido bravamente, he decidido no combatir, sino destruir su material y hundirlo … Desde un principio he aceptado sufrir las consecuencias que implicaba mi resolución.

    The Politics of Espionage: Nazi Diplomats and Spies in Argentina, 1933-1945 A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Richard L. McGaha November 2009 © 2009 Richard L. McGaha. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled The Politics of Espionage: Nazi Diplomats and Spies in Argentina, 1933-1945 by RICHARD L. MCGAHA has been approved for the History Department and the College of Arts and Sciences by Norman J.W. Goda Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MCGAHA, RICHARD L., Ph.D, November 2009, History The Politics of Espionage: Nazi Diplomats and Spies in Argentina, 1933-1945 (415 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Norman J.W. Goda This dissertation investigates Nazi Germany’s diplomacy and intelligence- gathering in Argentina from 1933-1945. It does so from three perspectives. This study first explores the rivalries that characterized the bureaucracy in the Third Reich. It argues that those rivalries negatively affected Germany’s diplomatic position in Argentina. The actions of the AO in Argentina in the 1930s were indicative of this trend. This created a fear of fifth-column activity among Latin American governments with large German populations. Second, this study explores the rivalry between the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service, SD) of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Reich Security Main Office, RSHA) and Auswärtiges Amt (Foreign Ministry, AA). It argues that the rivalry between these two organizations in Argentina was part of a larger plan on the part of Amt VI, SS Foreign Intelligence to usurp the functions of the AA.
