In the Allies' postwar analyses of the Nazis' defeat, the weakness and incompetence of the German intelligence services figured prominently. And how could it have been otherwise, when they worked at the whim of a regime in the grip of ignorant maniacs? But what if, Robert Hutchinson asks, the worldviews of the intelligence services and the ignorant maniacs aligned more closely than these analyses--and subsequent studies--assumed? What if the reports of the German foreign intelligence services, rather than being dismissed by ideologues who knew better, instead served to reinforce the National Socialist worldview? Returning to these reports, examining the information on enemy nations that was gathered, processed, and presented to leaders in the Nazi state, Hutchinson's study reveals the consequences of the politicization of German intelligence during the war--as well as the persistence of ingrained prejudices among the intelligence services' Cold War successors
