1 00:02:27,055 --> 00:02:31,458 Vigilant, tireless, implacable. 2 00:02:31,559 --> 00:02:35,393 The most silent service of the United States in peace or war... 3 00:02:35,497 --> 00:02:38,898 is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 4 00:02:39,001 --> 00:02:42,960 The Bureau went to war with Germany long before hostilities began. 5 00:02:43,073 --> 00:02:45,564 No word or picture could then make public... 6 00:02:45,675 --> 00:02:48,542 the crucial war service of the F.B.I... 7 00:02:48,645 --> 00:02:50,738 but now it can be told. 8 00:02:50,847 --> 00:02:55,307 In 1939, with thousands of known and suspected enemy agents... 9 00:02:55,419 --> 00:02:57,478 invading the Americas... 10 00:02:57,588 --> 00:03:03,424 the F.B.I. started building up its force of special agents and employees... 11 00:03:03,528 --> 00:03:07,862 from 2,000 to a war peak of 15,000. 12 00:03:07,966 --> 00:03:10,867 Before being sent into the field... 13 00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:16,237 each new agent had to learn all the modern techniques of crime detection... 14 00:03:16,342 --> 00:03:19,903 such as the use of a specially treated X-ray mirror... 15 00:03:20,014 --> 00:03:24,576 through which an F.B.I. man can see without being seen. 16 00:03:26,453 --> 00:03:28,853 The Federal Bureau of Investigation had to be the world's... 17 00:03:28,956 --> 00:03:33,916 most efficient intelligence and counterespionage service. 18 00:03:34,029 --> 00:03:38,728 For war is thought, and thought is information. 19 00:03:38,833 --> 00:03:42,599 And he who knows most strikes hardest. 20 00:03:42,705 --> 00:03:47,608 By examining the intercepted mail of unsuspecting Nazi agents... 21 00:03:47,710 --> 00:03:51,407 the F.B.I. uncovered many secret channels of communication. 22 00:03:51,515 --> 00:03:55,315 Between the lines of an innocent-appearing letter- 23 00:03:55,419 --> 00:03:58,877 invisibly coded in an obsolete German shorthand- 24 00:03:58,990 --> 00:04:02,482 were important instructions for one group of spies. 25 00:04:02,593 --> 00:04:05,653 The Bureau's infinitely painstaking system... 26 00:04:05,763 --> 00:04:09,961 of sifting and recording every scrap of potential information... 27 00:04:10,069 --> 00:04:12,230 paid handsome dividends. 28 00:04:12,337 --> 00:04:17,604 The F.B.I. was adding new names to its long list of Germans known to be dangerous. 29 00:04:17,710 --> 00:04:23,012 And each day, as fresh investigative reports came in from the field... 30 00:04:23,116 --> 00:04:26,108 F.B.I. officials saw more clearly... 31 00:04:26,219 --> 00:04:29,985 the pattern of German espionage in the United States. 32 00:04:30,091 --> 00:04:33,583 Nucleus of the Nazi network in America... 33 00:04:33,694 --> 00:04:36,322 was the German embassy in Washington... 34 00:04:36,430 --> 00:04:41,367 protected until a declaration of war by diplomatic immunity. 35 00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:44,803 Long before December 7, 1941... 36 00:04:44,906 --> 00:04:47,670 from a vantage point nearby... 37 00:04:47,777 --> 00:04:51,838 G- Men photograph the actions of hundreds of suspects. 38 00:04:51,948 --> 00:04:56,612 These are the actual films taken by the F.B.I. 39 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,847 They gave Director Hoover and his men... 40 00:04:58,956 --> 00:05:03,689 a daily record and description of all embassy visitors. 41 00:05:03,794 --> 00:05:05,887 This continuous photographic surveillance... 42 00:05:05,997 --> 00:05:09,330 provided a permanent record to be studied intensively... 43 00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:12,528 whenever new developments took place. 44 00:05:12,637 --> 00:05:15,800 The Bureau soon discovered that the embassy was being used... 45 00:05:15,908 --> 00:05:20,311 to disburse money for subversive activity in the United States. 46 00:05:20,412 --> 00:05:24,405 The Bureau also knew that the embassy had a shortwave radio... 47 00:05:24,517 --> 00:05:27,884 and was in direct communication with Germany. 48 00:05:27,988 --> 00:05:30,718 No one was watched more closely by the F.B.I... 49 00:05:30,824 --> 00:05:34,521 than the arrogant Baron Ulrich von Gienanth. 50 00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:37,655 Although accredited as an embassy official... 51 00:05:37,765 --> 00:05:42,099 he was actually chief of the German Gestapo in America. 52 00:05:42,203 --> 00:05:46,765 Equally important were pompous Vice Admiral Witthoeft-Emden... 53 00:05:46,875 --> 00:05:49,537 and his suave assistant, Helmut Raeuber- 54 00:05:49,645 --> 00:05:54,708 experts in obtaining information about ships and cargoes. 55 00:05:54,817 --> 00:05:58,082 Dr. Hans Thompsen, the German chargé d'affaires... 56 00:05:58,188 --> 00:06:00,247 tried to win American collaborators. 57 00:06:00,356 --> 00:06:04,087 So did his associate, General Karl Boeticher. 58 00:06:04,195 --> 00:06:09,599 Parading before hidden F.B.I. cameras were the embassy secretaries. 59 00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:13,136 These girls spent evenings in the company of American servicemen. 60 00:06:13,238 --> 00:06:15,570 They were having fun... 61 00:06:15,674 --> 00:06:20,202 but they were also diligently accumulating information for Germany. 62 00:06:20,312 --> 00:06:24,806 The F.B.I. watched them discretely, knew all about them. 63 00:06:24,917 --> 00:06:27,977 By relentless surveillance of embassy officials... 64 00:06:28,087 --> 00:06:31,545 and all those with whom they associated... 65 00:06:31,657 --> 00:06:36,390 the F.B.I. learned that Germany was recruiting American Nazis for its espionage service. 66 00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:41,092 - In 1939, Nazi fronts- 67 00:06:41,201 --> 00:06:43,761 like Fritz Kuhn and his German-American bund- were flourishing. 68 00:06:43,871 --> 00:06:46,738 The Germans said they were only social gatherings... 69 00:06:46,841 --> 00:06:49,605 but the F.B.I. knew that these societies... 70 00:06:49,711 --> 00:06:52,407 were part of a well-laid German plan... 71 00:06:52,514 --> 00:06:56,473 to build up a fifth column in the United States. 72 00:06:58,287 --> 00:07:02,018 In 1939, on the campus of a Midwestern university... 73 00:07:02,125 --> 00:07:04,616 not far from Columbus, Ohio... 74 00:07:04,728 --> 00:07:07,993 there was a brilliant young student. 75 00:07:08,098 --> 00:07:12,467 Born of German-American parents who were proud of his college record... 76 00:07:12,570 --> 00:07:16,097 he was preparing to become a diesel engineer. 77 00:07:16,207 --> 00:07:19,142 His name was William Dietrich. 78 00:07:19,243 --> 00:07:24,180 Just before graduation, Dietrich was approached by German representatives... 79 00:07:24,283 --> 00:07:28,242 who offered him a free trip to Germany and a well-paying job on arrival. 80 00:07:29,756 --> 00:07:33,385 Dietrich reported the incident to the F.B.I. 81 00:07:33,493 --> 00:07:37,486 When the meaning of the German invitation was explained to him... 82 00:07:37,597 --> 00:07:40,430 Dietrich offered his services to the Bureau. 83 00:07:43,137 --> 00:07:46,334 With money generously supplied by the Germans... 84 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,968 Dietrich bought passage at the German Tourist Bureau in New York City. 85 00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:55,243 The Germans felt that Dietrich was an extremely valuable man. 86 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:57,614 So did the F.B.I. 87 00:08:01,457 --> 00:08:05,393 Ten days later, Dietrich was 3,500 miles from New York... 88 00:08:05,494 --> 00:08:09,191 in Germany's great port city of Hamburg. 89 00:08:09,299 --> 00:08:14,566 On the Klopstockstrasse was a second-rate hotel- the Pension Klopstock- 90 00:08:14,671 --> 00:08:19,267 which housed the German high command's notorious school for spies. 91 00:08:19,377 --> 00:08:22,869 Here would train hundreds of recruits for the Abwehr- 92 00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:27,144 Germany's supersecret espionage-and-sabotage service. 93 00:08:28,954 --> 00:08:31,218 Like Dietrich, many of his classmates... 94 00:08:31,323 --> 00:08:34,019 had been recruited in the United States. 95 00:08:34,126 --> 00:08:36,788 And back to the United States they would go... 96 00:08:36,896 --> 00:08:38,955 when they were properly equipped. 97 00:08:44,337 --> 00:08:49,570 Synthesis of the F.B.I. 's counterespionage offensive in World War II... 98 00:08:49,677 --> 00:08:52,976 is the Christopher case which opened... 99 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,278 as great cases often do, by accident- 100 00:08:57,386 --> 00:09:01,447 a little accident at Bowling Green in New York City. 101 00:09:37,863 --> 00:09:41,299 Hey!
