Lou Weissberg

Lou Weissberg was part of the Counter-Intelligence Corps (CIC) of the United States Army during World War II. He was critical in battling the German Freedom Front uprising that began in the immediate aftermath of the surrender of Germany, although his battle proved futile in the face of the public opinion of the American people.

Weissberg was an English teacher in Jersey City, New Jersey when WW II began. He joined the Army and was assigned to the CIC, where he rose to the rank of lieutenant. On May 6, 1945, Weissberg was assigned to investigate the murder of two US soldiers, Charlie Pytlak and Dom Lombardo in Lichtenau. Both men had been blown to pieces by a large bomb. Weissberg soon sensed that something bigger might be happening.
