Our speaker today was Werner Juretzko, who became a prisoner of war for several months in the Soviet-Czech POW camp when he was a young teenager. In 1948, he was asked to infiltrate the Communist Party. He was recruited by the G-2 Intelligence Service of the United States Army. Werner conducted authorized undercover espionage missions behind the Iron Curtain. Werner was apprehended in action in 1955 and tried by Communist authorities and was sentenced to a 13-year prison term.
