<p><b>Nazis on the Potomac: The Top Secret Intelligence Operation that Helped Win World War II- with Miami Book Fair author Robert Sutton</b></p> <p>When the United States entered World War II, one endeavor was to establish a secret facility not far from the Pentagon to interrogate and eavesdrop on the highest-level Nazi prisoners and also translate and analyze captured German war documents. The American servicemen who interrogated German prisoners or translated captured German documents at Fort Hunt, known by the code name PO Box 1142, were absolutely dedicated to their work. Many of them were Jews, who had escaped Nazi Germany as children - all had personal motivation to do whatever they could to defeat Nazi Germany. They never used corporal punishment in interrogations of German soldiers but developed and deployed dozens of tricks to gain information. This is the first book to describe those intelligence operations. It will never be known how many American lives were spared, or whether the war ended sooner with the programs at Fort Hunt, but they doubtless did make a difference.</p>
