Description

(At the instructor’s request, the date of this class has been changed to Wednesday, April 9 at 10:30 am.) Fort Hunt, Virginia was the site of a World War II high-level, clandestine operation. Under code name PO Box 1142, American servicemen interrogated and eavesdropped on high value German prisoners, translated German documents, and developed an escape and evasion program for American pilots. These servicemen were young, bright, hardworking, and absolutely dedicated to their work. Many were highly-motivated Jews, who had escaped Nazi Germany as children, with and without their parents. Avoiding corporal punishment, they gained information through dozens of tricks they developed.

The speaker will have a limited number of copies of his book available for sale, $20, cash or check.
