| Zusammenfassung: | Speedy cars and faster women, British secret agents and Nazi spies, stolen American blueprints hidden in violin cases and specially adapted umbrellas. This is the story of the Nazi spy ring that operated in America in the 1930s. Receiving orders via a hairdressing salon in an unfashionable quarter of Dundee, the ring's eccentric cast included Scotland's Jessie Jordan and Germany's Jenni Hofmann, who were beauticians who spied; the Long Island musician Willy Lonkowski, who was otherwise known as Agent Sex; Ignatz Griebl, a German-American anti-Semite; Kate Moog, one of President Roosevelt's former nurses, who became the madame of a honey-trap brothel in Washington; and Bremen-based masterspy Eric Pfeiffer, who organised the theft of American military secrets. But on the eve of the Second World War, following a tip-off from MI5, who had been tracking Jessie Jordan in Scotland, the FBI were finally able to bring the group to justice. In Ring of Spies, Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones reveals how this case helped to awaken America to the Nazi menace, and how it skewed American opinion to favour Britain and France, thus spelling the end of US neutrality |

This is the story of the Nazi spy ring that operated in America in the 1930s. Receiving orders via a hairdressing salon in an unfashionable quarter of Dundee, the ring's eccentric cast included Scotland's Jessie Jordan and Germany's Jenni Hofmann, who were beauticians who spied; the Long Island musician Willy Lonkowski, who was otherwise known as Agent Sex; Ignatz Griebl, a German-American anti-Semite; Kate Moog, one of President Roosevelt's former nurses, who became the madame of a honey-trap brothel in Washington; and Bremen-based masterspy Eric Pfeiffer, who organised the theft of American military secrets. But on the eve of the Second World War, following a tip-off from MI5, who had been tracking Jessie Jordan in Scotland, the FBI were finally able to bring the group to justice. In Ring of Spies, Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones reveals how this case helped to awaken America to the Nazi menace, and how it skewed American opinion to favour Britain and France, thus spelling the end of US neutrality USA Federal Bureau of Investigation (DE-588)35632-3 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien MI-5 (DE-588)4442716-5 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1935-1937 gnd rswk-swf Spionage (DE-588)4056287-6 gnd rswk-swf Nationalsozialismus (DE-588)4041316-0 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliche Meinung (DE-588)4043152-6 gnd rswk-swf Feindbild (DE-588)4016641-7 gnd rswk-swf Spionageabwehr (DE-588)4182342-4 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 gnd rswk-swf United States / Federal Bureau of Investigation / History Great Britain / MI5 / History Espionage, German / United States / History / 20th century Great Britain / MI5 United States / Federal Bureau of Investigation Espionage, German United States 1900-1999 History USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 g Nationalsozialismus (DE-588)4041316-0 s Spionage (DE-588)4056287-6 s Feindbild (DE-588)4016641-7 s Öffentliche Meinung (DE-588)4043152-6 s Geschichte 1935-1937 z DE-604 USA Federal Bureau of Investigation (DE-588)35632-3 b Großbritannien MI-5 (DE-588)4442716-5 b Spionageabwehr (DE-588)4182342-4 s Electronic version 9780750995481 Jeffreys-Jones, Rhodri Ring of spies Cheltenham : The History Press, 2020 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032534147&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
