The Special Intelligence Service was a covert counterintelligence branch of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) located in South America during World War II. It was established to monitor the activities of Nazi and pro-Nazi groups in Central and South America. The organization was a forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency. It is commonly assumed that Assistant Director Percy E. "Sam" Foxworth was the first Chief of the SIS. He and SIS agent Harold Dennis Haberfeld died in a plane crash on 15 January 1943. The second Chief appears to have been Jerome Doyle.

  • The Special Intelligence Service was a covert counterintelligence branch of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) located in South America during World War II. It was established to monitor the activities of Nazi and pro-Nazi groups in Central and South America. The organization was a forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1934, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt became concerned about the activities of Nazi groups within the United States. The FBI was ordered to begin investigating these groups operating within the country. The goal of this work was to determine if foreign agents were working within these pro-Nazi groups. In 1940, the government decided to expand the scope of this mission. There were more than 1.5 million expatriate/ethnic Germans living in South America, including Argentina and Brazil. As a result, this area had become an active area of Axis espionage, propaganda and sabotage. In June 1940, Roosevelt ordered the formation of the Special Intelligence Service to monitor these activities. It is commonly assumed that Assistant Director Percy E. "Sam" Foxworth was the first Chief of the SIS. He and SIS agent Harold Dennis Haberfeld died in a plane crash on 15 January 1943. The second Chief appears to have been Jerome Doyle. The front for the organization was a law firm, the Importers and Exporters Service Company, which operated out of room 4332 of the International Building, 30 Rockefeller Center (a.k.a. the RCA Building), from August 1940. The organization took some time to become fully operational, due to language and cultural differences, but within a year the SIS had a number of agents in place under various covers. Following the war the SIS was disbanded, having been in operation in 1940–1946. After it was disbanded, its region of operation was incorporated into the responsibilities of the newly formed Central Intelligence Agency. Concurrently, the FBI would expand its own primarily domestic counterintelligence role to hunt spies and combat espionage. (en)
  • O Serviço de Inteligência Especial foi uma divisão do FBI estabelecida durante o governo do presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt para monitorar atividades do Eixo nas Américas Central e do Sul. (Na época a CIA ainda não havia sido criada e o FBI controlava os serviços de inteligência americanos). Em 1934, começou a crescer o interesse do presidente sobre atividades de grupos nazistas dentro dos Estados Unidos, e ele ordenou que o FBI os investigasse. O objetivo desta operação era apurar se agentes estrangeiros estavam trabalhando dentro destes grupos nazistas norte-americanos. Em 1940, o governo decidiu expandir o espaço a ser vigiado. Havia mais de 1.5 milhão de alemães expatriados vivendo na América do Sul, principalmente no Brasil e na Argentina. Em conseqüência, esta área tinha se transformado numa área ativa de espionagem, propaganda e sabotagem do Eixo. Em junho de 1940, o presidente Roosevelt requisitou a formação do Serviço de Inteligência Especial para monitorar estas atividades. As matrizes desta organização foram situadas no 44º andar do International Building, no Rockefeller Center, em Nova York. A fachada para a organização era uma firma de advogados. Levou algum tempo para o serviço tornar-se inteiramente operacional, devido às diferenças linguísticas e culturais, mas dentro de um ano o SIS (não confundir com o SIS britânico) já tinha um número regular de agentes de campo, sob os mais variados disfarses. Esta organização colocou mais de 340 agentes disfarçados em regiões da América Latina. Operaram por sete anos, e até 1946 um total de 887 espiões do Eixo foram descobertos. Foram encontrados também 281 agentes da propaganda nazista, 222 contrabandistas enviando materiais bélicos importantes, e mais de 100 sabotadores e outros operativos. Descobriram também duas dúzias de estações de rádio que operando com muitos transmissores e receptores. Depois da guerra o SIS foi dissolvido, depois de ter funcionado de 1940 a 1946. Depois de encerrado, sua região operacional foi incorporada à da recém-formada CIA. (pt)
