The spying game: Spying is better known as espionage. Spying is the act of gathering information secretly about and from your enemy. Reinhard Gehlen was Hitler's master spy who basically waltzed into America for information without the authorities being any the wiser. Takeo Yoshikawa was a Japanese spy who lived on the naval base Pearl Harbor and gathered crucial information and tactical data for the Japanese military to attack Pearl Harbor.
After WW2 was over, Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's top advisor and spy defected to the United States. He turned over all information that Germany had about the Soviet Union. He gave enough information to help start a new organization known as the CIA.
Morris Cohen was an American that gave secret information to the Soviets about the Manhattan project. This project was the operation that created the atomic bomb. Morris was an active communist and lived in Russia aftr WW2.
Multilingual people were great candidates for spying. They were used to interrogate POW's. Any spy that was captured was tortured for information and usually killed. Internment camps were camps that were established in the United States where Japanese people were kept. The govrnment had feared that the Japanese Americans wre giving information to the Japanese military.
Many people died through lack of food and poor medical care. It did not take too long to break up the camps and release the Japanese becaus thy had terrible evidence evidense for keeping th Japanese. The camps were not horrible living conditions, but they were not idalistic. The Japanese were free to do whatever they wanted within the camps.
I think that it would hav been really cool to be a spy in those days. It would be even coolr now with all the advancs in tchnology at my disposal.
