The common denominator of their activities was anticommunism, and their interests, although different, often converged on joint actions, which, on the one hand, sought to combat any attempt by the East German intelligence service to establish itself in Argentina, on the other hand, they also aimed at hindering trade relations between Argentina and East Germany.

Durante la Guerra Fría, los servicios secretos argentinos mantenían conexiones con sus colegas de Alemania Occidental. El denominador común de sus actividades era el anticomunismo, y sus intereses, aunque diversos, muchas veces convergían en acciones conjuntas, que, por un lado, perseguían combatir cualquier intento del servicio de inteligencia de Alemania Oriental de establecerse en Argentina, pero también apuntaban a dificultar las relaciones comerciales entre Argentina y Alemania Oriental, y, por parte de los argentinos, a fortalecer su rol como actor político interno. 1962 fue un año de intensa actividad en territorio argentino para los servicios de inteligencia, tanto nacionales como alemanes. El descubrimiento de una supuesta red de espionaje, el allanamiento de naves de la RDA en el puerto de Rosario y el cierre de la Misión Comercial de la RDA en Buenos Aires tuvieron que ver más con maniobras políticas y de propaganda que con un peligro real de infiltración comunista en Argentina. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/11172 10.34096/hyg.n3.11172 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/11172/10950 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/11172/10978 Derechos de autor 2022 Víctor Manuel Lafuente Historia & Guerra; No. 3 (2023): January-June; 169-191 Historia & Guerra; Núm. 3 (2023): Enero-Junio; 169-191 2796-8650 Guerra fría MfS SIDE BND Relaciones Alemania-Argentina RDA RFA GDR FRG Cold War MfS SIDE BND Germany-Argentine relationships RDA RFA GDR FRG The German secret services in Argentina during the Cold War: Scope, limitations, and connections with the local services Los servicios secretos alemanes en Argentina en el marco de la Guerra Fría: alcances, limitaciones y conexiones con los servicios locales info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Articles Artículos Artigos https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=histogue&d=11172_oai
