Assuming the Central Powers won an early victory against the Entente, say with it being over by 1916 before the H-L dictatorship, what would the CP intelligence services have turned into? IOTL the Axis were not noted for being particularly successful at the spy game (never mind spec ops stuff), but during WW1 the German intelligence services did run all sorts of interesting operations, including successful sabotage missions in the USA. Would a successful, less racist/ethnic supremacist (relative to the Nazis that is) Central Powers (Germany, Habsburgs, Ottomans, maybe Bulgaria) have been better at intelligence and spying without Fascism running the societies?
