I have sent an email to the Readers Digest asking for the article. Once they have my address I will probably be bombarded with sales pitch.

PS I forgot to mention once the British had pinpointed the site of the wireless the American CIC took over.

Re: CIC; The Army's Spy-Hunters
Hi David Thank you for your information. Your statement of the name I wanted being the title of a Readers Digest article fits in with my evidence. I am trying to find out details of a CIC operation in Accra. Apparently (according to the Readers Digest book I have) the British pin-pointed the site of...

CIC; The Army's Spy-Hunters
Hi
Has any one heard of the book CIC; The Army's Spy-Hunters? Apparently the British Library in London do not hold a copy and I could not find a bookshop that sold it on the internet If any one would like to sell me their copy I would be very pleased.
Thank you
Jacky

Only 12 American Treason Personnel?
Hi The following link states that America only prosecuted 12 of its citizens for treason. It only mentions Mildred Gillars and not the other 11. www.wfmu.org/LCD/GreatDJ/AxisSal.html Were other people charged with other crimes - assisting the enemy (or the American equivalent) etc? It seems a very l...

American Counter Intelligence - Gold Coast (now Ghana
Hi I bought a book about spying on Ebay and it turned out to be a Readers Digest book. I was interested in one item about the Americans using the British to pinpoint the site of enemy radio transmissions in Accra, which is now in Ghana but during the war was called the Gold Coast, which were respons...

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Hi
Does anyone know what city or cities it was planned to bomb next if Horohito had not surrendered after Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Would they have continued without a surrender until Japan was obliterated?

An Irish Soldier in the German army
On www.illyria.com/irish/mcginn_irishagains.html
Brian McGinn claims a redheaded Irishman in the German Army was taken to America after the war and remains unknown. Was no effort made to check each captured man's story? Or have the documents been accidently destroyed?

The Druid by Lonard Mosley
The blurb on this book states Kim Philby (the English Communist spy who fled to Russia) discovered an unknown German spy working in Britain during the war - and turned him. I had doubts because the spy was not named and found an article by Nigel West claiming it is an invention. For some reason the ...

Re: Major Patrick. R. Reid
Hi Xausa
Patrick Reid has sadly passed away - I think several years ago. According to my late father, who contacted him as part of his British Legion duties, he lived at Midhurst in Sussex. If I have my facts straight I think I answered the phone to him on occasions.
