Abstract
Abstract Heinrich von Brandt was the father of German military intelligence. He was responsible for conducting espionage operations for the General Staff in the period of the foundation of the German Empire and made a significant contribution to Prussia’s victory over France in 1871. Yet his important role has been completely neglected in histories of the Prussian army during this period. This study uses source material believed to have been lost during the Second World War to reconstruct the life and work of the first chief of the Nachrichtenbüro from 1866 to 1876.
