Biography

In March 1942, Kruger was , like many other German spies, arrested thanks to clues and instructions of the United States . Probably due to her good relations in politics she was released soon afterwards. She married Nacho de la Torre , the grandson of former President Porfirio Díaz to prevent their expulsion . After all she left her husband and went with to the tycoon Julio Lobo , known as " Sugar King of Havana " , [6 to Spain . Later on she married Lobo , but the marriage was divorced after a year.

Although the Mexican government was apparently warned that she might be a German agent (which, of course, was a correct assumption), Krüger started at the bottom... working her way up from insignificant boyfriends like Ramon Betata, who was a mere undersecretary of foreign relations to Miguel Aleman Valdes, then Secretaría de Gobernacion (and later President) who paid for her apartment in Colonia Roma (the accounting department back at Abwehr headquarters must have loved her expense reports!) where she also, "entertained" General Juan Andrew Almazán (then the presumptive future president) and the jilted Ramon Betata's boss, Foreign Minister, Ezekial Padilla.

With a degree in history (she wrote her thesis on La Malache, the Aztec femme fatale who slept with the enemy, and reinvented herself ) she became an expert on documents of the Napoleonic era... sorting the true from the false.

Krüger is suspected of working as a spy for the Abwehr, the German intelligence department during the Second World War, cultivating leading figures in Mexican society.

She had originally intended to settle in Hollywood, but she struggled to find work and had to leave for Mexico.
