on june 16th,1942 --4 nazi spys land via rubber boat from a german submarine 4.3 miles south of todays modern --ponte vedra inn 8-- they bury their sabotage supplies and uniforms and switch to civilain clothing -- catching a bus in town towards jacksonville , floridas train station then headed northward by train to cincinnati --where they split in 2 two man teams --one for chicago the other for new york city
another 4 man group was landed up north on long island near new york * --they are spotted almost right away by a alert coast guard man on patrol --they lied to him saying they are "illegal scandivan fisherman" and offer him a $300 "bribe" to forget them so they will not get in trouble * --the coast guardsman takes the money to fake out the men -- but then he promptly leaves and reports them --however before the govt people can get there they are long gone from the area --- the event however rattles the nerves of 2 of the 4 men in the new york team --the leader Desch and another Burger -- they decide to give themselves up and turn in the others * --Desch goes to the FBI who at first thinks him a crackpot until he plops down $84,000 in cash given to him for payroll money for the project. --with his help they grab all 8 of the men -- 6 of the 8 get death -- only Desch and Burger are spared in 1948 they are freed and returned to germany .
all 4 of the florida men within 2 months of the landing were electrocuted --their sabotage supplies buried in ponte verda were found but nothing was said of any money being found with them -- one has to wonder --were they given a similar $84,000 bankroll like the northern group and if so what became of it?
