ABSTRACT In 1938, the FBI’s Leon Turrou investigated a Nazi spy ring that was operating in the United States. He proved that the ring had stolen American military secrets, planned to kidnap a senior officer in the US Army, and plotted to establish a honey-trap brothel in Washington, DC. Turrou then conducted a propaganda campaign against the Nazis, culminating in a Warner Brothers movie, Confessions of a Master Spy. German diplomats calculated that the spy scandal turned public opinion against their country. However, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover disapproved of the publicity and fired Turrou, consigning him to historical obscurity.

莱昂·特鲁(Leon Turrou)和美国纳粹间谍圈

摘要1938年,联邦调查局(FBI)的莱昂·图鲁(Leon Turrou)对在美国运营的纳粹间谍圈进行了调查。他证明这枚戒指已窃取了美国的军事机密,计划绑架美国陆军一名高级军官,并密谋在华盛顿特区建立一个诱人的妓院。随后,Turrou进行了针对纳粹的宣传运动,最终以华纳兄弟电影《间谍大师的自白》(Confessions of Master Spy)告终。德国外交官认为,间谍丑闻使公众舆论对他们的国家不利。但是,联邦调查局局长埃德加·胡佛(J. Edgar Hoover)不赞成宣传,并解雇了图鲁(Turrou),使他陷入历史上的默默无闻。
