THE STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS OF A WW2 SPY RING...
This movie tells the story of how a German Espionage ring was uncovered in the early 1940s and prior to the outbreak of war between the US and Germany. It is a dramatised version but it is also based on actual events.
It is a fascinating story with many really interesting scenes within it. Some classic clips showed inside scenes of the FBI records office and a statement made that they had 100 million records and yet an ability to find a match within 5 minutes. There are also a number of scenes showing some tradecraft techniques some of which I had heard of but never seen and some that were quite new to me. The technology used by the FBI and shown in this movie was quite astonishing, they had some very smart equipment only matched by some very smart people amongst their ranks.
One particular scene, I won't say just where in the film it appears, I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone, shows a cleverly concealed message, it had been covered by ink and the method used to recover it was displayed. That should sound familiar to followers of this blog. I knew it was used and had and have shared the documentation that describes it for some years and have demonstrated here and at numerous presentations involving hundreds of people in person and many thousands here on the blog, but I had never seen a film of the actual method being used and especially from the relevant time period.
The movie was produced and filmed with the cooperation of the FBI and in fact, some of the parts played were portrayed by FBI agents who had been involved in the case.
The Movie was named 'The House on 92nd Street' and it first appeared in April 1945, at least US a radio program gave it headline space at that time:

This movie will be of interest for the serious researcher and those new to the Somerton Man,TAMAM SHUD mystery. There are many issues within the film that will ring bells for some. I hope you enjoy it.
