Description

The story of Anton Dilger brings to life a missing chapter in American history and shows, dramatically, that the Great European War was in fact being fought on the home front years before the U.S. formally joined it. Dilger was an American doctor who grew anthrax and other bacteria in a rented house as part of a secret mission for the German Army in 1915.
