Portugal Allows Allied Use of Azores in World War II
Portugal permits Allied access to the Azores base Santana and Lisbon becomes a major listening post. Neutral Portugal’s move is seen as a potential blow to Hitler, giving the Allies a new strategic edge in the Atlantic. Observers note the change dampens German fear and may influence Moscow talks and neutral powers. Lisbon hosts spies from all belligerents operating openly in public.
