Pastorius:
After landing, the saboteurs buried their supplies -- including TNT, blasting caps, and $200,000 in cash -- planning to retrieve them later.
Spies Among Us:
In 1942, German U-boats brought two groups of saboteurs to the US. The eight men sought to disrupt the US war effort by destroying aluminum plants and railways. One group, led by George Dasch, landed in New York at Amagansett, Long Island, the other near Jacksonville, Florida. But Dasch, determined to save his own skin, betrayed his fellow saboteurs to the FBI soon after landing. The men were quickly captured and tried by military tribunal. Six were executed. Dasch and another saboteur who cooperated with the FBI received reduced sentences and were deported to Germany in 1948. |
