Description
This is the case of German Lieutenant Peter Krug and Detroit restaurateur and Nazi-sympathizer Max Stephan. Krug had escaped from the Bowmanville POW Camp near Toronto and was attempting to get to the German Embassy in still-neutral Mexico. Stephan and others in Detroit gave him refuge and aid. In 1942, the German-born Stephan became one of the first U.S. citizens to be found guilty of treason since the Lincoln Assassination in 1865.
