Tink Hill presented a program about the Ritchie Boys. For a few years before the US became involved in World War II, many Jews from Germany emigrated to the United States. Typically they were teen-aged oldest sons, sent to safety to preserve the family name. When war broke out these young men volunteered for the Army but were refused under the reasoning that they were not yet citizens. Later there came the recognition that they were badly needed and were drafted. In the meantime, the US Army established a counter-intelligence agency at Camp Ritchie in Maryland. Eventually 2200 German Jew immigrants who not only spoke German, but knew the geography of Germany and understood and recognized all the subtle nuances of cultural attitudes and customs of the German people, were trained for interrogation and deployed on a super-secret mission. A Ritchie Boy was placed with every unit, their identity unknown, and as a group provided at 60% of all intelligence obtained by US military. We learned some of the tricks of interrogation the Ritchie Boys used, such as kindness, chatting and discussing about Germany, implying the possibility of turning them over to Russia, leaflets distributed, etc. They also were able to supply significant evidence to support the Nuremberg Trials. The program concluded with two short videos, one featuring a surviving Ritchie Boy interviews.
