Description

In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, the contents of this booklet are the released F.B.I. files on A.E. Knoch and his wife Sigrid. They were released at the request of Mr. Jean Douglas, of Perfect Grace Ministries, December 1999.

In 1940, F.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover requested that Special Agent in Charge, R. B. Hood, preform an investigative surveillance of the Knocks, along with the Concordant Publishing Concern, for suspected subversive activities and distribution of German propaganda, as “German Gestapo Agent types.”

These historical government documents provide an interesting backdrop, not only to the Knochs and their work, but also to the wartime culture of the 1940s.
