Abstract:

WWII reached Hatteras Island courtesy of spies, as accompanied photos of the houses they stayed in attested. Among spy reports famous enough for film was of a man many Islanders may have never assumed could be among the enemy. Hans Hoff, the spy whose electrocution was filmed, had lived with one of the local families one summer in the early 1930s.
