On a snowy night, two tall men are walking along the highway on the coast of Maine. They could hardly be more suspicious. They wear light European coats, no hats, large suitcases, and they leave a trail of footprints down to the beach… These strange men are German spies on the hunt for America’s biggest secrets!

The Soviets had much more success in infiltrating the USA.

What??? The thumbnail shows V V Putin with a “snot-brake” (moustache) and a hat …. On the other hand maybe that deliberate, showing how close those two scoundrels are.
Can someone pass this along to the Coen brothers?
First time I've heard anything about the Germans knowing about the Manhattan Project. Are you sure of this? It's a topic worthy of research!
3:50 the intelligence desk has been infiltrated by their best agent…
I'm really curious about how ze germans got knowledge of the Manhattan Project in the first place. Especially given how cockeyed their foreign intelligence seemed to be at the time… 🤔
It is quite incredible how many resources were wasted on what basically amounted to an expensive holiday for all the success the operation had.
Hello kitty, although completely indifferent to your video recording 😂
A bar in Boston, must be one where everyone knows your name.
Dad's Army was a comical farce … so is this 😂
3:23 Cat 13:21 Astrid threatens to hang the cat
Previously, on Spion und Katzen…
Two beautiful storytellers, one cute cat and an interesting spy story. What more can you ask for?
Thank you Time Ghost!
– from my three pet cats
(Joe, Maki and Socks)
Trying to infiltrate the Manhattan Project, they don't get any farther than Manhattan.
My cat jumped on me while I was watching this. Great video, thank you.
I humbly request more kitty in future spy videos folks 😂
Hiter never learn
I have a book on U-123 during Operation Drumbeat. This was the initial U-boat attack on the US east coast. It was printed in 2010 and I don't recall it mentioning any of this. I think this all happened after that operation.
I'm very surprised Camp X doesn't have a video to itself n this subseries.
The Canadian camp where the Allies trained spies
When did this channel go woke?
Ik they are mom and daugther, but I didn't notice their faces were so similar until seeing them next to each other.
The cat is a nice touch. "Hmmmmmmm – you're obviously in the middle of something important … why am I NOT FEATURED???!!!"
Hi Astrid and Anna
Beautiful presentation.
Want more stories.
And Astrid your looking great in coat.
Thanks for the video.
The cat is a great 3rd host.
Wait, President Roosevelt dies!?!
Cat tax! CAT TAX, people – you saw the cat, you must upvote the video.
Great episode Anna n Astrid! And everyone saw that a cat goes where a cat’s gonna go-filming or not! What a fun episode! Time Ghost; simply the BEST!
What a sweet cat 😺
I can't believe I did it… I'm caught up. I never was with WW1, but I finally have watched everything so far!
That kit really threw those ladies off their game
Doesn’t look like they got very far in infiltrating the Manhattan Project. I wonder how they expected they were going to do that? Assuming they had a plan at all.
Honestly, it sounds sort of cool to come ashore just to be able to say that you invaded America. But it also makes the war almost farcical at this point, as if an invasion of American soil is just something those guys did to check it off their greatest tourism sites and will definitely tell the grandkids about it. Of course, I think I'd be offended if they didn't tell the grandkids too!
Oh, and, that is a freaking awesome cat! Love you ladies!
Something occurred to me, we hear fair bit about British Spies, ‘Murican spies, German Spies, and we even got a bit about Japanese Spies, but we don’t hear much about (Mussolini era) Italian Spies. I’d be hard pressed to even name their spy agency.
Btw, a relative of mine has been learning about the Second World War through the channel and couldn’t place “Purple” as the code name of the Japanese code JN-25. I’m so ashamed.
Kitty needs to be a regular host!
the end credits should read astrid, anna, and the kitty!!!!!!!!!!who works hard on your productions.!!!
I live in Nianitc, bit odd to hear that mentioned but I had heard of William Colepaugh before. Niantic is actually pronounced (n-eye-ant-tic) as opposed to (Knee-ant-tic)

Great special, but one detail is off that would drive those from the NYC area crazy. It's grand central terminal (not station)
Three stars on the show now. =^^=
inde …you know what to do……..Flowers ,Chocolate The whole sha bang
Fantastic as always, and your cat is such a well behaved Feline it is adorable
Is the cat a double agent or a triple agent?
Meeeow, purr purrr purrrr
I never thought I'd get to see Astrid's pussy!!😀
I was wondering why the spies went to New York? Had they learned the name of the bomb initiative was the "Manhattan Project?" 😉 Does anyone know the political leanings of the cat? In any event he/she is clearly a saboteur! Great story Ladies!! 🐈⬛ 🔎<🔬>🔍
3:29 What a nice cat!
What an amazing story! So well told by two of my favorite internet story tellers! Bravo!
"You're our best English speaker" is hardly a great qualification to infiltrate Manhattan. How on earth were German spy agencies so 'mum & pop shop'? It has been a theme all war. Sure, they used collaborators cleverly for internal security, but strategic intelligence assets were ~non-existent.
Btw, you ladies look ready to interrogate a suspect, but who is the good cop? Tbh, I'd be nervous lol.
