(Laura Ingalls, not to be confused with the author Laura Ingalls Wilder of Little House on the Prairie fame, was a famous aviatrix and Nazi agent operating with the Gestapo in the U.S.A. She infiltrated the America First Committee, of which Charles Lindbergh was a member, and gave several pro-Nazi, anti-intervention speeches for the committee. She was arrested in Dec. 1941 for failing to register as a paid foreign agent and served 20 months in prison. After being released she continued to spread pro-Nazi propaganda being arrested again in in July of 1944 while trying to enter Mexico carrying seditious material. She was not prosecuted in this event. She died in 1967.) |
