El Servicio de Información de la Policía Militar, SIPM, investigó en el otoño de 1938 un supuesto complot contra el general Franco y el ministro del Interior, Ramón Serrano Suñer. Este acontecimiento, inédito y desconocido de la Guerra Civil, tuvo lugar en Burgos, entonces capital de la España sublevada. El trabajo que se presenta analiza y contextualiza el voluminoso expediente policial, custodiado en el Archivo Militar de Ávila. Los resortes de la inteligencia militar se pusieron en marcha como consecuencia del soplo de un ciudadano burgalés al que se dio crédito. Las investigaciones para frustrar el atentado, que dieron lugar al denominado Informe Benlo (sílabas del nombre y apellido del denunciante), fueron dirigidas por el espía austriaco Herbert Heide, que contó con un equipo formado por 13 agentes y varios infiltrados para conseguir desmontar esta conspiración. Las indagaciones, que tuvieron en su punto de mira a supuestos “rojos” y desafectos a la causa nacional, tanto civiles como militares, se iniciaron en el cementerio viejo y se extendieron por toda la ciudad. ABSTRACT: In the Autumn of 1938, the Servicio de Información de la Policía Militar (SIPM) [Information Services of the Military Police] investigated a supposed plot against General Franco and the Minister of the Interior, Ramón Serrano Suñer. This unreported and little-known event from the Civil War, took place in Burgos, at that time the capital of insurrectionist Spain. In the study that is presented here, the copious police files, held at the Military Archive of Ávila are analysed and placed in context. The machinery of military intelligence sprang into action following the tip-off from a member of the public in Burgos that was given some credit. The investigations to counter the attack, which opened the so-called Benlo Report (acronym of the name and surname of the informant), were directed by the Austrian spy, Herbert Heide, who relied on a team formed of 13 agents and various civil informants to work towards the dismantlement of the conspiracy. The inquiries that placed supposed “reds” and those disaffected with the nationalist cause in their sights, both civil and military, began in the old cemetery and spread throughout the city.
