(Radio Moscow telling the truth for a change. They are reporting finding the "Reichenau Order" better known as the Severity Order" issued by Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Reichenau. I have to point out that because of the stream of lies broadcast by the Russians, it is unclear to me if anyone believed the report.) |

Note the report in column 6: "Spies Planted Years Ago" |
(This was also true in Hawaii and even the west coast of the United States, the Japanese even had agents in Mexico. It was this threat that, sadly, led to the internment of so many Japanese, including American citizens of Japanese descent. It is an unpopular position to take when I say I can understand why this was done. People were scared, including government officials and when people are scared, they ace irrationally. There was however, no irrational fear of spies, this was a fact. It was the overreach in rounding up everyone that led to the debacle and tragedy.) |

It was true that the passenger ship Yawata Maru was converted into an escort carrier and renamed Unyo, it was not sunk until Sept. 16, 1944.) |
