The report, giving a good idea of intense German efforts to collect information and to transmit it to Germany, named 16 persons engaged in the spy activity. Ten of these had been placed under arrest and three were described as fugitives. The remaining three were not accounted for in the document. In this series of photos taken for Acme Newspictures, some of the men, equipment and records seized in the espionage raids by Argentina's federal police, are shown.
