More DescriptionThrough recently declassified intelligence documents, this book reveals for the first time the complete story of America’s wartime knowledge about, encouragement of, and secret collaboration with the German resistance to Hitler. Unorthodox and often dangerous schemes were developed, including bogus "resistance newspapers,” anti-Nazi letters and postcards distributed through the German postal service, sabotage, and fake radio broadcasts from "German generals” calling for uprisings against the regime. These intelligence reports provide a fascinating new perspective on the story of the German resistance to Hitler and reveal an intriguing and previously unexplored aspect of America’s war with Hitler.
