Abwehr
The Abwehr was a German intelligence organization from 1921 to 1944. The word Abwehren means "to ward off", implying counterespionage; this term was used as a concession to Allied demands that Germany's post-World War I intelligence activities be for "defensive" purposes only. After February 4, 1938, its name in full was Amt Ausland/Abwehr im Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (Foreign Bureau/Defence of the Armed Forces High Command).
