I may be wrong but if I remember correctly professor Hilton at LSU uncovered his espionage ring in South America.


Nazi espionage was well known in S. America, and both the FBI and Army Intelligence had a presence there (and spent more time fighting amongst each other than they did fighting the Nazis.) Hilton didn't discover it, but he did write a book about it and was probably the subject matter expert on WWII in S. America. He is/was an interesting dude. When I took his WWII class, he wasn't there the first week because he was off running around overseas. Rumor had it he was on a CIA assignment, but who knows.
