26. Introduction
Germany maintained extensive commercial enterprises in South America

several South American countries. It was therefore necessary for Germany
to keep an ever watchful eye an the activities and the political trends

violently °opposed to those of Soviet Russia, German observations of communistic
activities in South America were carefully documented and studied.

back to 1945 and that numerous developments have taken place since that time.
