Nazis on the Potomac Audiobook Libro.fm

Description

Now a green open space enjoyed by residents Fort Hunt Virginia about fifteen miles south of Washington DC was the site of one of the highestlevel clandestine operations during World War II

Shortly after the United States entered World War II the US military realized that it had to work on exploiting any advantages it might gain on the Axis Powers One part of these endeavors was to establish a secret facility not too close but also not too far from the Pentagon which would interrogate and eavesdrop on the highestlevel Nazi prisoners and also translate and analyze captured German war documents

That complex was established at Fort Hunt known by the code name PO Box 1142 The American servicemen who interrogated German prisoners or translated captured German documents were young bright hardworking and absolutely dedicated to their work Many of them were Jews who had escaped Nazi Germany as childrensome had come to America with their parents others had escaped alone but their experiences and those they had been forced to leave behind meant they all had personal motivation to do whatever they could to defeat Nazi Germany They were perfect for the difficult and complex job at hand
