US MARINE SPY REFUSED TO HIDE: THE MAN WHO DISARMED 2,000 MINES BY HAND

In the shadow of the French Alps, one American spy broke every rule of espionage. Major Peter J. Ortiz, a U.S. Marine serving with the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), didn't hide in the shadows. Instead, he operated miles behind enemy lines wearing his full Marine Corps uniform—a suicidal act of defiance designed to inspire the French Resistance.

Ortiz’s bravery went beyond his appearance. To secure vital supply drops for the Maquis, he personally undertook the terrifying task of clearing German minefields. Often working alone and under intense time pressure, he is credited with disarming nearly 2,000 enemy landmines by hand to create safe landing zones for Allied aircraft.

But his greatest act was one of sacrifice. Trapped in the village of Centron and surrounded by the Wehrmacht, Ortiz faced a chilling choice: fight to the death or save the civilians.

Discover the incredible true story of the spy who negotiated his own surrender to the SS to save an entire village from execution, earning two Navy Crosses and becoming a legend in two nations.
