Even paranoids have enemies. Hitler's most powerful foes were the
Allied powers, but he also feared internal conspiracies bent on
overthrowing his malevolent regime. In fact, there was a small but
significant internal resistance to the Nazi regime, and it did
receive help from the outside world. Through recently declassified
intelligence documents, this book reveals for the first time the
complete story of America's wartime knowledge about, encouragement
of, and secret collaboration with the German resistance to
Hitler?including the famous July 20th plot to assassinate the
Fuehrer.The U.S. government's secret contacts with the anti-Nazi
resistance were conducted by the OSS, the World War II predecessor

a capitulation offer to the western Allies under consideration by
Count von Moltke in 1943 was thoroughly discussed within the U.S.

CIA, was well informed about the legendary plot of July 20th. In
fact, these secret reports from inside Germany provide a
well-rounded picture of German society, revealing the pro- or
anti-Nazi attitudes of different social groups (workers, churches,
the military, etc.). The newly released documents also show that
scholars in the OSS, many of them recruited from ivy-league
universities, looked for anti-Nazi movements and leaders to help
create a democratic Germany after the war.Such intelligence
gathering was a major task of the OSS. However, OSS director ?Wild
Bill? Donovan and others favored subversive operations, spreading
disinformation, and issuing propaganda. Unorthodox and often

newspapers,? anti-Nazi letters and postcards distributed through
the German postal service, sabotage, and fake radio broadcasts from
