Were Nazis in LA during World War II? Local legends around places like the Murphy Ranch and the Furst Castle suggest they were, with fascist sympathizers building retreats and strongholds. Some claim Hitler even visited during the war. However, the truth is never quite what it seems, and it is way way more interesting. Listen to learn about an unheralded spy master who prevented treason and violence from Nazis in the City of Angles, as well as the truth behind local lore.With special guest Curtis T. Andersen!
