Feuerland and Other Secrets

Secret South American Communications Centers

by S.E.I.G. Agent Be 565


We have just opened a sealed file that S.E.I.G. Agent Be 565 asked us to keep sealed until now. Here is what he told us about the secret hiding places in South American and also the radio stations.

“There were communications centers set up in South America, cared for by the German Embassies between 1939 and 1946. These communications centers received and passed on information. Further, the messages were not sent by the usual Abwehr Enigma codes but instead, they had constantly changing codes such as ‘Nymphe’, ‘Syphron’ and ‘Hydra II’ and possibly other safety codes. These were German Abwehr positions in Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Columbia and French Guyana. These men all took the ‘Ursula’ oath”

EDITOR NOTE - notice that he says these radio centers were open until 1946. This further confirms what we have been reporting that there was indeed, an escape route planned out for certain and special people to get out of Europe and to South America. Some years ago, HARRY COOPER (1-LIFE-1983) and S.E.I.G. Agent Be 565 stood on the very spot atop Obersalzberg where a special mobile radio van sat in the closing weeks of the war, transmitting secret orders to - to whom? We don’t yet know, but it was code-named Krokodil (Crocodile). The ‘Ursula’ oath refers to the oath of silence initially used with the crews of U-33 and U-34 when they were a very secret part of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, sinking Spanish ships. This was known as Operation URSULA which was named for URSULA DÖNITZ (1339-1990) who later married Günther Hessler. They basically swore an oath that they would not reveal anything of their particular mission ever during their life. The new German Government has said such oaths made to the former Government are not enforceable and these veterans may speak freely about such operations- but when a German swears an oath, he’ll keep his word no matter what Government happens to be in power at the time.

Agent Be 565 continues his letter here:

“In Germany, the Chief of this operation was Admiral Canaris and later SS Kaltenbrunner. What information can you give regarding these radio specialists of the Abwehr?” Here is his list:

These are the real names of these radio specialists, not code names. One of these men visits Germany but they all live in South America.
