Uruguay Reveals Plot
By Nazis 10 Occupy
Nation; 8 Imprisoned

BY the Associated Press.
MONTEVIDEO, July 2l.-Details
Of a German plot against the in
dependence Of Uruguay-not unlike
the plan allegedly used by the Ger
man Army in the occupation of Bel
guim and Norway-have been dis
closed in brochure, just published
by the special committee investigat-
ing anti-Uruguayan activities.
The brochure discloses the court
proceedings against a group of Ger
mans who, in February, were SEN
fenced to prison terms as perpetra-
tors of the plot. The trial culmi-
mated an investigation begun May
Is, 1910.
The court charged there was a
similar plan for the occupation of
Argentina.
The Germans involved were Ar
nulf Fuhrmann, Rudolf Patz, julius
Holzer, Otto Klein, Frederic Schon-
field Gordon, Rudolf Meissner,
Adolf Outline and Reinald Becker.
Judge Atilio Pigurina Vivas sem
fenced them to terms of / to 13
years.
Proposed Military Occupation.
The brochure said investigation
showed the eight men were work.
ing under the so-called Fuhrmann
plan-which proposed the military
occupation of Uruguay by German
elements here or coming over from
Southern Brazil and Argentina.
The court said the plot against
Argentina also involved military
and economic penetration.
The defense plea was that the
Fuhrmann plan-incomplete copies
of which were seized by the authori-
ties-was merely joke, the result
of the imagination of a man who
had no authority within the party"
The court rejected this plea, say
ing such authorities as former De-
fense Minister General Pedro Sicco
had found the plot very similar to
the plan used by the Germans in
Belgium and Norway.
Storm Troopers Formed.
The court said evidence proved
the eight Germans were paying
sums of money to some Uruguayan
newspapermen and writer's to induce
them to produce Nazi propaganda.
1t also was contended the Nazi party
IN Uruguay had built up a storm
troopers section and had formed
courses in sharpshooting and glider
flying for young Germans and Ger
man-born Uruguayans.
Fuhrmann himself. the court add
ed, worked for the elite guard and
kept an active correspondence with
the famed lib Bureau in Berlin
the espionage center created during
the World War.
One part of the sentence is de-
voted to quoting insults against
Uruguay and its inhabitants prof.
fered by the accused Germans and
their comrades.
In another section the court said
that If the Fuhrmann plan had been
executed Uruguay might have be-
come a German colony-to become
the property of the German people
-Aryan Germans - with the ma
tional population enslaved.
Fuhrmann was accused of discuss
ing the plan with Dietrich Niebuhr,
naval attache at the German En-
bassy in Argentina. Last year Me
buhr was declared persona non
grata" by the Argentine government.
