概要
Danger hid inside an ordinary umbrella: blueprints rolled into its lining on January 9, 1938, then handed to a German steward bound for Bremen - documents that reached Berlin within a week and helped reshape aerial warfare. How did a network of 33 ordinary Americans move classified gyroscope designs, blind-flying instruments, and convoy schedules under the FBI's nose, and who finally exposed the ring?
In this episode, we tell the story of the Duquesne Spy Ring and the people who made it possible, from machinists and stewards to spies with long criminal histories, and we follow the single thread that broke the operation: an informant within the ring. What role did a shortwave radio controlled by the FBI and one unlikely double agent play in bringing thirty-three agents to justice?
