picture info	Abwehr Operations The ''Abwehr'' (German for ''resistance'' or ''defence'', but the word usually means ''counterintelligence'' in a military context; ) was the German military-intelligence service for the ''Reichswehr'' and the ''Wehrmacht'' from 1920 to 1944. Although the 1919 Treaty of Versailles prohibited the Weimar Republic from establishing an intelligence organization of their own, they formed an espionage group in 1920 within the Ministry of Defence, calling it the ''Abwehr''. The initial purpose of the ''Abwehr'' was defence against foreign espionage: an organizational role which later evolved considerably. Under General Kurt von Schleicher (prominent in running the ''Reichswehr'' from 1926 onwards) the individual military services' intelligence units were combined and, in 1929, centralized under Schleicher's ''Ministeramt'' within the Ministry of Defence, forming the foundation for the more commonly understood manifestation of the ''Abwehr''. Each ''Abwehr'' station throughout Germany ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Enno Stephan Enno Stephan (1927–2018) was a German journalist and historian. He was conscripted into the German military at the age of 15 during the Second World War and subsequently became a prisoner of war. He was sent to work at the Abbey of Fontenay in France before starting a career in print and later radio journalism. He began to write history with a specialism in the Germans in Ireland and the Irish in Germany, and in ''Geheimauftrag Irland: Deutsche Agenten im Irischen Untergrundkampf 1939-1945'' (1961) was the first to write a survey of the activity of Nazi spies in the Republic of Ireland before and during the Second World War. The book was controversial in Ireland as the facts of Germany espionage there during the war were not well known, and it caused embarrassment to individuals mentioned in it and to the Irish government which was lobbying to join the European Economic Community and wanted good relations with Germany. Early life Enno Stephan was born in 1927 and grew up in P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Operation Innkeeper Operation Innkeeper (''"Unternehmen Gastwirt"'' in German) was an aborted plan devised in Autumn 1941 to send two Irish Abwehr agents to London on a sabotage mission. One of the two agents was John Codd, an Irish national captured while serving in the British Army in 1940. While radio and sabotage training for Innkeeper did take place the plan was aborted due to the general collapse of German efforts to train and recruit suitable Irish agents as part of its Friesack Camp experiment.

	Operation Sea Eagle Operation Sea Eagle (''"Unternehmen Seeadler"'' in German) sometimes referred to as Operation Dove II (''"Unternehmen Taube II"'' in German) was a German Foreign Ministry plan conceived in May 1941 after the collapse of planning around Operation Whale (''"Unternehmen Walfisch"'' in German). The operation was to involve landing a seaplane on a lake in Ireland to supply the Irish Republican Army (IRA) with operating funds and a transmitter. Planning Planning for Sea Eagle took place while German Intelligence (''Abwehr''), and ''Abwehr''/Foreign ministry dual role SS. Colonel Dr.Edmund Veesenmayer, feared an invasion of neutral Éire by American forces soon to be stationed in Northern Ireland. The ''Abwehr'' were to provide technical support for Sea Eagle and the Foreign Ministry was to retain operational control. This was largely because every mission to Ireland so far undertaken had been a complete disaster. On 23 June 1941, the day after the planned invasion of the USSR, Operation ...
