Operation Pastorious: The Failed Nazi Plot to Blow Up America
In 1942, a German U-boat landed eight Nazi saboteurs on U.S. soil in a covert mission - Operation Pastorius - intended to cripple American industry. The FBI, led by J. Edgar Hoover, launched a swift investigation after a Coast Guardsman’s report and a saboteur’s betrayal exposed the plot. Within weeks, all were captured, and the operation collapsed, marking one of World War II’s most remarkable espionage failures on American soil.
