"THE FLORIDA FOUR" SPIES
Feb 17 2007, 9:35 AM EST
On June 17, 1942, German U-boat 584 landed four German spies at Ponte Vedra Beach, where they hid explosives and other equipment in the sand dunes for future use. They then boarded a bus for Jacksonville, before splitting into two groups that traveled to New York City & Chicago. The agents were to join with four other saboteurs, who had landed on Long Island, and then planned to bomb key railroads, bridges and factories producing goods for the war. By June 27th, all eight of the spies had been apprehended, tried, found guilty, and executed.
