Famous Trials: Trial of the Nazi Saboteurs (1942)

Curated by ACT

The eight Germans who landed on beaches were all graduates of a training school for saboteurs. The idea for a sabotage effort in America developed in late 1941, soon after a German spy network in the United States imploded when one of the spies turned out to be a double agent. The double agent identified dozens of Nazi spies working in the U.S. Thirty-three spies were rounded up and convicted in September, 1941.
