Abstract
ABSTRACT In 1938, the FBI’s Leon Turrou investigated a Nazi spy ring that was operating in the United States. He proved that the ring had stolen American military secrets, planned to kidnap a senior officer in the US Army, and plotted to establish a honey-trap brothel in Washington, DC. Turrou then conducted a propaganda campaign against the Nazis, culminating in a Warner Brothers movie, Confessions of a Master Spy. German diplomats calculated that the spy scandal turned public opinion against their country. However, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover disapproved of the publicity and fired Turrou, consigning him to historical obscurity.
