Agent 146: The True Story of a Nazi Spy in America - Erich Gimpel

Written by Erich Gimpel
Format: MP3

The autobiography of one of the only Nazi spies to reach the USA. During 9/44 Germany is burning at both ends. The Reich is crumbling. Word has reached Berlin that the Americans are testing a secret weapon of unbelievable destruction, a weapon that will win the war. The Fuhrer himself calls upon Agent 146 in a last ditch effort to sabotage America’s atomic program. Two months later, a German U-boat surfaces off Maine’s coast. Agent 146 & an American turncoat named William Collepaugh sneak ashore. Down the coast they go, ending up in New York. Once there, a fascinating game of cat & mouse begins as the FBI attempts to close in on the elusive Nazi spy.
Previously unpublished in the USA, Agent 146 is a tale of espionage under the Reich. Within are accounts of the Nazis’ plans to sabotage the Allies–from sending in commandos to capture Gibraltar to blowing up the Panama Canal. Agent 146 is a must read memoir for WWII history buffs.
