On Episode 141 of The TLB Podcast, James welcomes back Chris Verga to discuss his new book, Nazis of Long Island: Sedition, Espionage and the Plot Against America. Together, they explore the hidden history of Nazi influence across Long Island during World War II, examining how propaganda, espionage networks, and ideological infiltration shaped American communities.Verga shares firsthand accounts from local families, dives into the role of German POW camps, and breaks down the long-term implications of Operation Paperclip. The conversation also explores the dangerous echoes of past propaganda in modern society, the corporate and political forces that enabled fascist movements, and why historical literacy remains essential in preventing history from repeating itself.Support the ShowEarly access on Patreon → https://tinyurl.com/mva2z9seAudio-only on Spotify → https://tinyurl.com/ytfnwx6sConnect with Chris VergaNazis of Long Island (Book) → https://a.co/d/g9MJQWhX → https://www.x.com/chrisv1081Chapters00:00 - Intro02:12 - Researching the History of Nazi Espionage05:09 - Community Reactions10:08 - Nazi Influence in America11:40 - German-American Communities18:19 - Nazi Ideology and Modern Implications23:50 - Nazi Propaganda and Its Modern Echoes34:25 - The Business Plot and Fascism in America37:01 - Corporate Influence and War Profiteering39:51 - Operation Paperclip and Nazi Scientists in America45:14 - Long Island's Role in the Manhattan Project 50:57 - Nuclear Research and Classified Information55:58 - Long Island's Historical Significance and Military Strategy01:02:03 - Documenting History for Future Generations#Nazis #LongIsland #Espionage #History #WWII #Propaganda #Eugenics #OperationPaperclip #Democracy #HistoricalAwareness #ChrisVerga #TheTLBPod #Fascism #AmericanHistory #IntelligenceOperationsSupport the showPatreon Tiktok Instagram YouTube
