Truman Commutes Death for Two German Spies
President Truman commuted the death sentences of William Curtiss Colepaugh and Eric Gimpel to life in prison. The two American citizens, landed from a German submarine at Lubec Bay, Maine, in 1944, were captured and tried for spying by a military commission. The action aligns with World War I precedent and notes that spying is treated differently from war crimes. The FBI aided after-action details, and the spies’ mission in the United States ended in failure.
