	The '''Abwehr''' ({{lang-en\|defence or protection}}) was the German military intelligence service from 1920 to 1945. From 1935 to 1944, Admiral [[Wilhelm Canaris]] led the organization. At some point he became a member of the so-called [[German resistance]], sabotaging Germany's foreign policy and war effort, providing the Allies with information, and providing important support for internal resistance against the government leading up to the insurgency “Operation Valkyrie” ({{lang-de\|Unternehmen „Walküre“}}. This has been argued to have been an important cause of Germany losing the war. Deputy head [[Hans Oster]] and other Abwehr personnel were also part of this putschist movement.

	Despite its name implying counterespionage, the Abwehr was an intelligence-gathering agency and dealt exclusively with human intelligence, especially raw intelligence reports from field agents and other sources. The Chief of the Abwehr reported directly to the High Command of the Armed Forces (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, or OKW). Intelligence summaries and intelligence dissemination were the prerogative of the Operations Branch, (as distinct from the Intelligence Branch), of the OKW, and through it to the intelligence-evaluation sections of the [[Wehrmacht Heer\|Army (Heer)]], the [[German Navy\|Navy]] ([[Kriegsmarine]]), and the Air Force ([[Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht)\|Luftwaffe]]). The headquarters (HQ) of the Abwehr were located at 76/78 Tirpitzufer, Berlin, adjacent to the offices of the OKW. After 4 February 1938, its name in title was Foreign Affairs/Defence Office of the Armed Forces High Command (''Amt Ausland/Abwehr im Oberkommando der Wehrmacht'').
