Description

Join instructor Douglas Schneider to learn about female spies imprisoned in St. Louis. Hear about how many prisoners of war escaped their camp in St. Louis, how a St. Louis shoe repair man sent messages to the Nazis, and what early resident of O’Fallon, Missouri, was the captain of a Company of Spies. And what escaped prisoner of war was captured in Union Station and later appeared in a Steve McQueen movie. Did you know that prisoners of war worked at the St. Louis Ordnance Plant that, made 6.7 billion cartridges during World War II? Schneider will also talk about spies active in St. Louis today.
