Origin and Object of the German Spy System in the United States
A 1918 analysis outlines how Bismarck built a global spy network, its failures in the United States, and the German plan to corrupt public opinion. It describes spy methods, notable cases, and warnings to U S government workers about surveillance, loyalty, and reporting suspicious activity. It notes photo IDs for access, disguises, and the harsh punishments for spies.
