9/8
Fred Mayer was a World War II veteran who lives a quiet life in Charles Town, WV. He was a spy during World War II, and was captured by the Germans. Mayer and his family fled Germany and came to New York in 1938, just one year before Hitler invaded Poland. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Mayer joined the U.S. Army, his knowledge of European language provided him a good rank. Mayer infiltrated German barracks by posing as an injured German officer. Mayer provided information about Hitler's bunk and when it was found, the information was accurate. Mayer is unlike many veterans and doesn't hold a grudge against the Germans.
