Скачать или смотреть Infiltrated Family Photos: How a US Army Clerk’s “Guide” Exposed a Hidden Nazi Airfield

In August 1944, amidst the dust and scorching sun of northern France, a roll of German aerial reconnaissance film was urgently ordered to be "destroyed." Some chose acid and fire, while others opted for more covert methods: stuffing the military film into a biscuit tin filled with family photos and letters, mixing it in with battlefield debris, gambling that the Allied forces wouldn't stop for "private belongings."
But he underestimated a far more formidable opponent—the process. In a rear-area warehouse, an American military clerk, using only a "preliminary classification guide" and his sense of touch, singled out the "metal that shouldn't be under the paper." Then came labeling, transfer, inspection, development, and coordinate comparison... a standard procedure executed by ordinary people, bringing both the hidden airfield and the hidden identity to light. The true hunter wasn't a genius, but a tireless system.#fyp #WWIIintelligence #aerialreconnaissance #photointerpretation #hiddenairfield #counterintelligence #militarydocuments #wartime espionage
