Ron:
        I am not dismissing the story or the fact that the item
is an important artifact. I am dubious about assuming the person
in the house was a German agent. The 1945 papers are a terminous
post quem - could have been put there at any time after 1945.

        Who was he talking to - Japanese allies? Although long
distant U-Boats did reach Japan I have never heard of any off the
West Coast.

        To my understanding almost all German agents in the US were
picked up before or right after our entrance into the war.

        Enough on this one. See you in Mobile.
