Although it was unusual for a great deal of inside knowledge to be obtained from the Japanese side, most attention has always been paid on the German side to the roles played by representatives of the German Army in Japan. This book, supported by extensive notes and a bibliography, by contrast, highlights the friendly relations between Sorge and Paul Wenneker, German naval attache? in Japan from 1932 to 1937 and 1940-45. Wenneker, from extensive and expanding contacts inside the Japanese Navy (and also concealed contacts with the Japanese Army) supplied Sorge with key information on the depth of rivalry between the Japanese armed services. 606 $aSpies$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aSpies$zJapan$vBiography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSecret service$zSoviet Union 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zPacific Area 610 $aEspionage. 610 $aJapanese military. 610 $aRiichard Sorge. 610 $aaxis. 610 $aintelligence. 610 $aspying. 610 $aww2. 615 0$aSpies 615 0$aSpies 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSecret service 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a940.54/8647/0924 700 $aChapman$b J.
