Argentine Junta: Military Committee minutes No.3"M"/82 (English translation, Spanish transcription & Spanish original) [decision to bring forward planning to invade the Falklands] [declassified 2013]

Timing unknown. Transcript and translation by Ms Katiuska Borjas, a native Spanish speaker; the editor is deeply grateful for her help. The Rattenbach Enquiry was the Argentine equivalent of the Franks Review. Its archives supply the principal surviving record of Argentine decision-making immediately before and during the war. Paras 1-3 of the Spanish text of this minute were transcribed in the main body of the Rattenbach Report at para 231 and that text has been adopted here.
