Ángel Alcázar de Velasco

Ángel Alcázar de Velasco (Mondéjar, 1909 – Galapagar, 2001) was an apprentice bullfighter, Falangist, journalist and spy.

In 1937, he traveled to Salamanca as a correspondent at the front for an interview with Manuel Hedilla, National Leader of the Falange, who tried to gain support against those who had a sense of entitlement due to their proximity to José Antonio Primo de Rivera.

Franco is appointed to the position of maximum command by headquarters in order to unify the Nationalists and avoid an internal war.

In January 1940 he was appointed press officer of the Institute of Political Studies in Madrid thanks to his friendship with Ramón Serrano.

Alcazar decides to talk to the British Ambassador Samuel Hoare, presenting himself as a radical Falangist with opposing ideas to Francoist Spain.

In January 1940, he meets Oberbeil due to his friendship with Ramón Serrano Suñer, who suggests that he goes to London as a spy for the German intelligence service Abwehr.

While other Spaniard Miguel Piernavieja del Pozo, takes charge of sending reports to the Germans, Alcázar de Velasco created a spy network in Spain.

Alcazar narrates in his memories that he usually visited the places that were bombed in London and gave information to the Germans for future attacks, and organized anti-Francoist guerrillas in order to send them to Spain.

[citation needed] That same year, in autumn, Alcázar made contact with Charles de Gaulle as a member of Abwehr during a mission in which Alcazar had to send several million pounds to help the Free France organization and to devalue the British currency.

He is profoundly anti-semitic and thinks that the allies and the Soviet Union form part of an international Jewish conspiracy.

Because of this, Alcázar got involved in Operation Willi, in which the people who worked for Walter Schellenberg tried to kidnap the Duke of Windsor in Portugal.

Ángel Alcázar began working for the Japanese shortly after coming back from Madrid in what is known as his most ambitious project: the Tõ network (東機関).

This need is what brought Spain into the picture since it had some hard to find qualities, such a close relationship with Latin America.

That's how shortly after arriving in Madrid in early January, Alcázar began working for the Japanese by sending them reports entitled "Tō Network".

As was disclosed in the "Magic Summaries", the info the Japanese had was always easily decoded by the USA since the beginning — this was thanks to the acquisition of the codes.
