About this event

During WWII, the U.S. military established a complex in Fort Hunt, Virginia to collect vital information from the highest-level Nazi prisoners through interrogation and eavesdropping. Many of the U.S. servicemen responsible for this intelligence-gathering were Jews who had escaped Nazi Germany, and their background enabled them to develop and deploy a variety of tricks to gain information without the use of corporal punishment. Author Robert K. Sutton, former chief historian of the National Park Service will discuss the fascinating story behind this facility and his book, Nazis on the Potomac.
