AUTHOR & HISTORIAN ROBERT K. SUTTON DISCUSSES HIS BOOK
NAZIS ON THE POTOMAC:
THE TOP SECRET INTELLIGENCE OPERATION THAT HELPED WIN WORLD WAR II
Saturday, February 24
2-4 pm
Bannockburn Clubhouse
6314 Bannockburn Drive, Bethesda
Join us for this in-person program to learn about a little-known clandestine operation in our own backyards that played a pivotal role in defeating the Nazis. Author Robert K. Sutton, former chief historian of the National Park Service and a Bethesda neighbor, will discuss the fascinating story of the secret facility in Fort Hunt, Virginia, behind his most recent book.
There, the U.S. military established a complex to collect vital information from the highest-level Nazi prisoners through interrogation and eavesdropping. Many of the U.S. servicemen responsible for this intelligence-gathering were Jews who had escaped Nazi Germany, and their background enabled them to develop and deploy a variety of tricks to gain information without use of corporal punishment.
Registration is NOT required!
