SPIES -

The video discusses America's efforts in capturing spies during World War II. Eight men, including two American citizens, were caught by the FBI after being landed by U-boats in Long Island and Florida. J. Edgar Hoover played a significant role in the secret military tribunal, where seven generals appointed by President Roosevelt tried the spies. The charges were severe, involving the death penalty. Despite the secrecy, military officers were appointed to defend the accused, maintaining democratic customs. The prosecution, led by Attorney General Biddle, presented evidence, including a photograph and a spade used by the spies. The swift capture of these enemy agents was a notable achievement in countering German aggression.
