This file concerns George John Dasch and the German U-boat sabotage operation that landed agents and explosives at Amagansett, Long Island, in June 1942. The FBI documented Dasch's approach to U.S. authorities, his information about the Long Island and Florida landing groups, and the Bureau's effort to locate the other operatives. The released records include New York office memoranda, surveillance notes, intercepted-mail reporting, and June 21 teletype reports on the detention and questioning of Ernst Peter Burger, Heinrich Heinck, and Richard Quirin. They describe hotel surveillance at the Governor Clinton Hotel, coordination with FBI headquarters, the suspects' sabotage training in Germany, and plans to attack transportation and defense-related targets.
