A Warning from South America

South America has been a battlefield of the Second World War from the day of its declaration until now, the warfare waged there has been political and consequently has been devoid of dramatic spectacles. However, in all South American republics, carefully organized in every possible detail, there exists a secret army, created by agents of the Third Reich, which has been trained especially for the struggle in that continent and which has made use of services of German residents and descendants of Germans. The totalitarian action in South America reveals two distinct periods. Before 1940, Nazism was a growing, impulsive, revolutionary movement which took advantage of every favorable opportunity. The second period began when the United States actually, physically, entered the war, when its Atlantic fleet established the vital line of supply to far away Iceland, when German submarines began to inflict punishment upon American ships on all seas.
