German Nazi intelligence considered the "Iron Guard" association (1943 and 1944), which was established by King Farouk, as one of the most important bases qualified to support and meet the needs of its station located in Egypt. It also considered it one of the most important berms suitable for covering the overall activities of that station. This was later confirmed by Miles Copeland, head of the CIA in Egypt during the same period, in his famous book, "The Game of Nations." In it, he said, "German intelligence saw the Iron Guard group as a fulcrum." This was important, and this was helped by the king's spontaneous orientation towards the axis."
