This is the fifteenth installment in Eric's epic summer series covering the contentious and war-torn season of American history from 1914 to 1974. In this episode, he dives into one of the great American moments in 1942—the FBI capture of eight German spies attempting to wreak destruction upon our nation in the midst of WW2. This great counter-espionage victory for the FBI, secured J. Edgar Hoover a place in the pantheon of great American heroes. Behind the closed doors of Room 5235, the case of the eight German saboteurs was heard by a military tribunal—clearly showing that the FBI didn’t solve this case alone. However, the American public didn’t hear that story. They only heard Hoover’s misleading story that declared the FBI did this amazing work all by their lonesome. It’s easy for us all to keep the secrets of Room 5235 from the public. This message is about opening up the doors and letting credit be given to whom credit is due.
