The Planned Nazi coup and invasion of Uruguay (sometimes referred to as The Fuhrmann Plan), was an unexecuted plan to overthrow the government of Uruguay and establish a colony of Nazi Germany.[1] The plan was devised by German-Uruguayan journalist and Nazi activist Arnulf Fuhrmann (also known by his pseudonym Asmuel Fushman), Julio Hotzer (sometimes spelled Holzer), Otto Kleing, Rudolf Patz, and Konas and R. Meissner; with support from Otto Langmann, the German representative in Montevideo. Developed between the late 1930s to 1940 in Salto, the plan was never put to fruition due to the operation being discovered by Uruguayan officials, leading to the perpetrators being arrested.
