🌍 Imagine fleeing your home to escape a deadly enemy, only to return later as a secret weapon against them.
This is the incredible story of the Ritchie Boys, a courageous group of World War II soldiers who were far from ordinary. Many were Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany, only to return as American soldiers trained in intelligence and psychological warfare.
🗣️ Fluent in German, they became masters at interrogating Nazi prisoners, extracting critical secrets that would help turn the tide of the war. Their deep understanding of German culture allowed them to craft propaganda that shattered the morale of Nazi troops. Though only 2,000 strong, they gathered over 60% of the intelligence used on the Western Front. Some even believe their efforts were crucial to winning battles like D-Day.
👥 The Ritchie Boys-small in number but mighty in impact-played a heroic yet often overlooked role in defeating one of history's greatest evils.
