STANLEY, Ruth. Transferencia de tecnología a través de la migración científica: ingenieros alemanes en la industria militar de Argentina y Brasil (1947-1963). Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2004, vol.1, n.2, pp.21-46. ISSN 1850-0013.

By the end of the Second World War, the allied powers attempted to take advantage of the scientific and technical advances achieved by Germany. German scientists and engineers were recruited by the victor countries, which also seized plans and prototypes. Argentina and Brazil also tried to benefit from these scientists'knowledges. This article deals with the recruitment of German military engineers by both countries, executed with the aim of taking advantage of developments already initiated in Europe, as well as beginning new ones, specially for the military industry. The article exposes the restrictions faced by the intentions of Argentineans and Brazilians, deals with the motivations of engineers for emigrating, and, finally, evaluates the contribution of these engineers and technicians for the armaments production at both nations.
