Otto Langmann

In 1930, in Guatemala, he supported a local evangelical community; a year later he joined the NSDAP and founded the first Nazi group abroad.

[2] Langmann served as the representative of German government in Montevideo, Uruguay (1937-1942) during the Battle of the River Plate in 1939.

During this time, he supported the plotters in a failed Nazi coup, as part of a planned takeover of Uruguay.

Langmann held his position until the Uruguayan government broke off relations with Germany in 1942.

Langmann then returned to Germany, working at the Foreign Office in Berlin.
