Agent 146: The True Story of a Nazi Spy in America


Erich Gimpel - 1957
    During 9/44 Germany is burning at both ends. The Reich is crumbling. Word has reached Berlin that the Americans are testing a secret weapon of unbelievable destruction, a weapon that will win the war. The Fuhrer himself calls upon Agent 146 in a last ditch effort to sabotage America's atomic program. Two months later, a German U-boat surfaces off Maine's coast. Agent 146 & an American turncoat named William Collepaugh sneak ashore. Down the coast they go, ending up in New York. Once there, a fascinating game of cat & mouse begins as the FBI attempts to close in on the elusive Nazi spy. Previously unpublished in the USA, Agent 146 is a tale of espionage under the Reich. Within are accounts of the Nazis' plans to sabotage the Allies--from sending in commandos to capture Gibraltar to blowing up the Panama Canal. Agent 146 is a must read memoir for WWII history buffs.ForewordMy Career as a Spy Begins Fighting a War in Dinner JacketsTraining as a Spy in Germany Spain-& My First Missions A Plan to Blow up the Panama CanalThe Start of a Grim AdventureTo America by SubmarineThe Landing in America Tricked by Billy in New YorkI Work Out my Own Salvation Billy Betrays me to the F.B.I.
