In the summer of 1942, German submarines put saboteurs ashore on American beaches. Normandy. Anzio. Guadalcanal. Okinawa. In the midst of World War Il, two German submarines actually put men ashore at both of those locations. The invaders did not arrive with the intent of seizing and occupying territory, however. Their mission was sabotage. Their targets were some of the crown jewels of America’s industrial might: major hydroelectric plants, important aluminum factories, critical railroad tracks, bridges and canals–and the water supply system of New York City. Well-trained and well-supplied, the saboteurs had good reason to be confident, but in the end they failed utterly. How and why that happened is a fascinating tale, partly because of what it reveals about the character of the two warring nations.

“He might bring Sardines with him.” Hitler was sure this meant the Allies were coming from N. Africa through Sardinia.
