Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. They fled Hitler's Germany as refugees. They returned as American soldiers, carrying the one weapon the Nazis never expected: perfect knowledge of their enemy. They escaped Nazi Germany and Austria, leaving behind their homes and, in many cases, their families. A few years later, they returned to Europe wearing American uniforms. At Camp Ritchie, a military intelligence school hidden in the mountains of Maryland, the U.S. Army turned their greatest disadvantage into a weapon: these were men who knew Germany from the inside. Its language, its culture, its military, and the very people they would soon be interrogating. They became the group remembered today as the Ritchie Boys. Their work took them from the beaches of Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge to concentration camps, captured Nazi officials, and the ruins of the country they had once called home. Inside, you'll discover: From "enemy aliens" to elite interrogators: how Jewish refugees who fled Nazi persecution were first classified as enemy aliens in the U.S., then recruited by the ArmyInside the secret academy at Camp Ritchie: training in prisoner interrogation, counterintelligence, psychological warfare, aerial photography, and the inner workings of the German militaryGetting the truth without violence: how German-Jewish interrogators broke enemy prisoners with knowledge and psychology instead of forceThe dog tags they changed: why some Jewish soldiers altered or removed the religious marking on their dog tags before returning to EuropeOperation Greif and Guy Stern's bluff: the German commandos who slipped behind Allied lines in American uniforms, and how Guy Stern posed as a fearsome Soviet commissar to make prisoners talkFrom Nuremberg to famous names: the Ritchie men who investigated war crimes and prepared the Nuremberg trials, and the surprising Camp Ritchie pasts of J. D. Salinger and Henry KissingerFor decades, much of their work stayed classified, and the men said little about what they had done. By the time the Ritchie Boys finally received recognition, many were no longer alive to see it. Driven from their homeland as unwanted refugees, they returned as American soldiers, and the knowledge they carried out of Nazi Germany became part of the fight to defeat it.
