Description
Truman Smith is a controversial figure in American military history, chiefly because of his activities as military attache in Berlin between 1935 and 1939. His job was to report on the growing military strength of Germany, but his sources of information on the Lutwaffe were unreliable. He enlisted the aid of Charles Lindbergh, and their reports to Washington chronicled Hitler's increasing ability to wage an air war.
