Two Eagles : Operation Bloodstone
Operation Bloodstone was an American plan to use the post-war labor battalions as a cover for a guerrilla army intended to be used in the Soviet Union after a series of nuclear strikes. It’s a strange tale, and it’s an important piece in the development of clandestine and proxy warfare.
A note on sources:
This series is more a narrative account than an academic presentation so I’ve been a bit lax in citing sources, some of which are documents I no longer have copies of. There are several books written on this subject, and while I have not kept up on the most recent scholarship (part of going feral is not being part of academic discourse) I do want to comment on two of the early accounts.
“Blowback”, by Christopher Simpson, offers a solid framework covering this and many other aspects of the US absorption of German intelligence and scientific experts. It’s outdated and a lot of new documents have become available, but it’s a good starting point for the macro-level events.
“Operation World War III” by Anthony Cave Brown often misrepresents its sources so I don’t recommend the book, but it does point you to a lot of documentation, some of which can now be found online without having to visit archives.
The bomb production numbers come from a transcript of a telephone conversation between General Hull and Colonel Seaman in August of 1945.
The NY Times article on the League of Young Germans is in the October 15th 1952 paper.
