00:02:20,245 --> 00:02:24,195 The most silent service of the United States in peace or war... 5 00:02:24,416 --> 00:02:27,536 ...is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 6 00:02:27,711 --> 00:02:31,756 The Bureau went to war with Germany long before hostilities began. 7 00:02:31,966 --> 00:02:34,338 No word or picture could then make public... 8 00:02:34,510 --> 00:02:37,677 ...the crucial war service of the FBI. 9 00:02:37,847 --> 00:02:39,555 But now it can be told. 10 00:02:40,224 --> 00:02:44,518 In 1939, with thousands of known and suspected enemy agents... 11 00:02:44,687 --> 00:02:46,265 ...invading the Americas... 12 00:02:46,981 --> 00:02:52,142 ...the FBI started building up its force of special agents and employees... 13 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,650 ...from 2000 to a war peak of 15,000. 14 00:02:57,993 --> 00:03:01,113 Before being sent into the field, each new agent had to learn... 15 00:03:01,329 --> 00:03:05,030 ...all the modern techniques of crime detection... 16 00:03:05,208 --> 00:03:08,791 ...such as the use of a specially treated x-ray mirror... 17 00:03:08,962 --> 00:03:13,375 ...through which an FBI man can see without being seen. 18 00:03:15,094 --> 00:03:17,929 The Federal Bureau of Investigation had to be the world's... 19 00:03:18,097 --> 00:03:22,558 ...most efficient intelligence and counterespionage service. 20 00:03:22,768 --> 00:03:27,430 For war is thought, and thought is information. 21 00:03:27,607 --> 00:03:31,391 And he who knows most strikes hardest. 22 00:03:31,986 --> 00:03:36,364 By examining the intercepted mail of unsuspecting Nazi agents... 23 00:03:36,533 --> 00:03:40,198 ...the FBI uncovered many secret channels of communication. 24 00:03:41,162 --> 00:03:44,116 Between the lines of an innocent-appearing letter... 25 00:03:44,291 --> 00:03:47,576 ...invisibly coded in an obsolete German shorthand... 26 00:03:47,752 --> 00:03:51,287 ...were important instructions for one group of spies. 27 00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:54,503 The Bureau's infinitely painstaking system... 28 00:03:54,676 --> 00:03:58,970 ...of sifting and recording every scrap of potential information... 29 00:03:59,139 --> 00:04:01,013 ...paid handsome dividends. 30 00:04:01,392 --> 00:04:04,761 The FBI was adding new names to its long list of Germans... 31 00:04:04,979 --> 00:04:06,389 ...known to be dangerous. 32 00:04:07,273 --> 00:04:11,650 And each day, as fresh investigated reports came in from the field... 33 00:04:11,861 --> 00:04:14,862 ...FBI officials saw more clearly... 34 00:04:15,072 --> 00:04:18,157 ...the pattern of German espionage in the United States. 35 00:04:19,535 --> 00:04:22,205 Nucleus of the Nazi network in America... 36 00:04:22,413 --> 00:04:24,904 ...was the German Embassy in Washington... 37 00:04:25,083 --> 00:04:28,701 ...protected, until a declaration of war, by diplomatic immunity. 38 00:04:30,547 --> 00:04:36,466 Long before December 7th, 1941, from a vantage point nearby... 39 00:04:36,678 --> 00:04:40,510 ...G-men photographed the actions of hundreds of suspects. 40 00:04:40,682 --> 00:04:44,134 These are the actual films taken by the FBI. 41 00:04:45,437 --> 00:04:48,687 They gave Director Hoover and his men a daily record... 42 00:04:48,857 --> 00:04:52,273 ...and description of all embassy visitors. 43 00:04:52,444 --> 00:04:54,770 This continuous photographic surveillance... 44 00:04:54,947 --> 00:04:58,031 ...provided a permanent record to be studied intensively... 45 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,201 ...whenever new developments took place. 46 00:05:01,370 --> 00:05:04,537 The Bureau soon discovered that the embassy was being used... 47 00:05:04,707 --> 00:05:09,001 ...to disperse money for subversive activity in the United States. 48 00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:13,038 The Bureau also knew that the embassy had a short-wave radio... 49 00:05:13,216 --> 00:05:15,541 ...and was in direct communication with Germany. 50 00:05:16,761 --> 00:05:19,513 No one was watched more closely by the FBI... 51 00:05:19,681 --> 00:05:22,172 ...than the arrogant Baron Ulrich von Gienanth. 52 00:05:23,393 --> 00:05:26,347 Although accredited as an embassy official... 53 00:05:26,521 --> 00:05:29,475 ...he was actually chief of the German Gestapo in America. 54 00:05:30,984 --> 00:05:35,563 Equally important were pompous Vice Admiral Witthoeft-Emden... 55 00:05:35,781 --> 00:05:38,153 ...and his suave assistant, Helmut Raeuber... 56 00:05:38,325 --> 00:05:42,109 ...experts in obtaining information about ships and cargoes. 57 00:05:43,539 --> 00:05:46,825 Dr. Hans Thomsen, the German chargé d'affaires... 58 00:05:47,001 --> 00:05:48,958 ...tried to win American collaborators. 59 00:05:49,754 --> 00:05:52,874 So did his associate, General Karl Boetischer. 60 00:05:54,008 --> 00:05:58,302 Parading before hidden FBI cameras were the embassy secretaries. 61 00:05:58,471 --> 00:06:02,255 These girls spent evenings in the company of American servicemen. 62 00:06:02,434 --> 00:06:04,260 They were having fun... 63 00:06:04,436 --> 00:06:08,849 ...but they were also diligently accumulating information for Germany. 64 00:06:09,024 --> 00:06:13,602 The FBI watched them discreetly, knew all about them. 65 00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:16,821 By relentless surveillance of embassy officials... 66 00:06:16,990 --> 00:06:19,528 ...and all those with whom they associated... 67 00:06:19,701 --> 00:06:23,616 ...the FBI learned that Germany was recruiting American Nazis... 68 00:06:23,789 --> 00:06:25,331 ...for its espionage service. 69 00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:29,868 In 1939, Nazi fronts, like Fritz Kuhn... 70 00:06:30,087 --> 00:06:32,543 ...and his German-American Bund, were flourishing. 71 00:06:32,965 --> 00:06:35,503 The Germans said they were only social gatherings. 72 00:06:36,052 --> 00:06:41,129 But the FBI knew that these societies were part of a well-laid German plan... 73 00:06:41,307 --> 00:06:45,471 ...to build up a fifth column in the United States. 74 00:06:47,063 --> 00:06:50,728 In 1939, on the campus of a Midwestern university... 75 00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:55,812 ...not far from Columbus, Ohio, there was a brilliant young student. 76 00:06:56,865 --> 00:07:01,194 Born of German-American parents who were proud of his college record... 77 00:07:01,370 --> 00:07:04,786 ...he was preparing to become a diesel engineer. 78 00:07:04,957 --> 00:07:07,708 His name was William Dietrich. 79 00:07:08,001 --> 00:07:09,460 Just before graduation... 80 00:07:09,628 --> 00:07:12,878 ...Dietrich was approached by German representatives... 81 00:07:13,048 --> 00:07:17,876 ...who offered him a free trip to Germany and a well-paying job on arrival. 82 00:07:18,554 --> 00:07:22,089 Dietrich reported the incident to the FBI. 83 00:07:22,266 --> 00:07:26,181 When the meaning of the German invitation was explained to him... 84 00:07:26,354 --> 00:07:29,770 ...Dietrich offered his services to the Bureau. 85 00:07:31,859 --> 00:07:35,026 With money generously supplied by the Germans... 86 00:07:35,196 --> 00:07:39,574 ...Dietrich bought passage at the German Tourist Bureau in New York City. 87 00:07:39,784 --> 00:07:44,031 The Germans felt that Dietrich was an extremely valuable man. 88 00:07:44,206 --> 00:07:45,949 So did the FBI. 89 00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:54,168 Ten days later Dietrich was 3500 miles from New York... 90 00:07:54,508 --> 00:07:57,758 ...in Germany's great port city of Hamburg. 91 00:07:57,970 --> 00:08:01,137 On the Klopstockstrasse was a second-rate hotel... 92 00:08:01,307 --> 00:08:05,351 ...the Pension Klopstock, which housed the German High Command's... 93 00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:07,975 ...notorious school for spies. 94 00:08:08,147 --> 00:08:11,516 Here were trained hundreds of recruits for the Abwehr... 95 00:08:11,734 --> 00:08:16,277 ...Germany's super-secret espionage and sabotage service. 96 00:08:17,657 --> 00:08:20,112 Like Dietrich, many of his classmates... 97 00:08:20,285 --> 00:08:22,573 ...had been recruited in the United States. 98 00:08:22,787 --> 00:08:25,492 And back to the United States they would go... 99 00:08:25,707 --> 00:08:27,746 ...when they were properly equipped. 100 00:08:33,173 --> 00:08:36,340 NARRATOR: Synthesis of the FBI's counterespionage offensive... 101 00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:40,210 ...in World War II
