Tyler Gatewood Kent
St. Alban's and Princeton
On May 20, 1940, reports Joseph Persico's superb Random House book and New
York Times best-seller, "Roosevelt's Secret War," Scotland Yard, MI5, and
two other officers arrived at 47 Gloucester Place in London.
After having to break down the door, they confronted U.S. Embassy code
clerk Tyler Kent, and began searching his flat. They found 1,929 U.S.
Embassy documents including secret correspondence between President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
They arrested this 29-year-old member of an old Virginia family, who had
lived all around the world with his father, a career officer in the State
Department's Consular Service.
Mr. Kent was also a graduate of St. Alban's school in Washington, D.C., as
well as Princeton. He attended the Sorbonne and spoke French, Greek,
German, Russian, Italian and Spanish.
Kent, in carefully pondering all of the secret messages between FDR and
Churchill, concluded (at a time when a Roper poll reported that less than 3
percent of Americans wanted the U.S. to enter the war on the side of
Britain and France) that FDR "was secretly and unconstitutionally plotting
with Churchill to sneak the United States into the war."
There was another reason for Kent's concern that he expressed: "All wars
are inspired, fomented and promoted by the great international bankers and
banking companies which are largely controlled by Jews."
Earlier in 1940, Kent met a daughter of Czarist refugees whose parents ran
a Russian tea room. Anna Wolkoff believed her parents had been the victims
of communist Jews who incited the Russian revolution. She introduced him to
a decorated veteran of the British army in World War I, a distant relative
of the royal family named A.H.M. Ramsay, who had become a member of
Parliament. Ramsay was convinced Britain was about to be taken over by a
vast Jewish conspiracy.
So Tyler Kent, recognizing a fellow anti-Semite, took Ramsay to his flat
and showed him all the secret correspondence he had stolen from the U.S.
Embassy code room.
Anna gave copies of these papers to Don Francesco Maringliano, Duke of Del
Monte – and a Lt. Col. in Mussolini's Italian army.
He delivered copies to Rome and, shortly thereafter, Hans Mackenson, German
ambassador to Italy sent them to Berlin. Included was a May 16 message sent
by FDR to Churchill six days after he took over as prime minister when
France was falling. This message, about sending 50 U.S. destroyers to the
British would have been a disaster if learned about by a strongly
isolationist Congress.
The arresting British found in Kent's apartment duplicate keys to the U.S.
Embassy code room, and steel cabinet plastered with stickers proclaiming:
"THIS IS A JEW'S WAR."
The British took Kent to U.S. Ambassador Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, who
strongly denounced this traitor. Then the British took Kent to Brixton prison.
Kent was denied any diplomatic immunity. Upon recommendation by Ambassador
Kennedy, he was fired by the State Department.
A British jury, during a secret trial, after four days of testimony,
sentenced Kent to 7 years on the Isle of Wight, at a camp for political
prisoners. And that led to a massive round-up of British fascists,
including Kent's lady friend Anna and Col. Ramsay.
In December 1945, the British deported Tyler Kent to the United States. His
former employer the Department of State showed no interest in prosecuting
him – with one official (whom the State Department has not identified)
commenting: "We do not give a damn what happens to him." So, this
well-educated traitor went free for the next 43 years and died in a Texas
trailer park, when he surely should have been in prison for the rest of his
life.
At St. Alban's, the alumni office recalled that Tyler Kent disassociated
himself entirely from the school and died in 1988.
Fifteen other St. Alban's alumni gave their lives in the service of this
country during World War II, the best known being Jimmy Trimble who played
pro baseball with the Washington Senators before he was killed in action at
Iwo Jima.

William Kolepaugh
Admiral Farragut Academy, M.I.T.
Willy Kolepaugh came from a respected Connecticut family who were friends
of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Attorney General Frances Biddle.
He attended New Jersey's Admiral Farragut Academy, and then M.I.T., where
he studied Marine engineering – but too much drinking and too little study
led to his flunking out.
Willy was something of a loner. He developed a pride in the fact that his
maternal grandparents had migrated to the United States from Germany. When
Hitler's forces initially won so many battles, Kolepaugh took vocal pride
even after he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. In 1943, his expressions of Nazi
sympathies led to his being discharged "For the good of the Service."
In 1944, Kolepaugh got a job aboard the Swedish liner Gripsholm and he
jumped ship in Lisbon. He made his way to Germany, where was he was
recruited into the SD by the legendary German special forces leader, Maj.
Otto Skorzeny, the rescuer of Bonito Mussolini. Kolepaugh was sent to spy
training in The Hague. He was teamed with Erich Gimpel, eight years his
senior, who was an expert in high-frequency radio.
But Kolepaugh was put in command of "Operation Magpie" in which they were
ordered to spy on U.S. shipyards, airplane factories and rocket-testing
sites, after being landed by U-boat in Maine.
Kolepaugh managed to persuade his SD supervisors that he and Gimpel would
need a great deal of money. With the average U.S. family annual income
being $2,378, the SD gave these two $60,000 in cash, plus 99 diamond clips.
On Nov. 29, 1944, the U-1230, after eight days on the bottom, just off
Maine's coast to avoid patrols, slipped into Frenchman Bay and put Gimpel
and Kolepaugh ashore. They then traveled to New York City, where commander
Kolepaugh began drinking and womanizing with all that German expense money.
Much of this was a mask to conceal Kolepaugh's growing anxiety.
On Christmas, he went to the Queens, Long Island home of an Admiral
Farragut Academy friend named Edward Mulchay. He told Mulchay everything
and they spent most of the day wrestling with the question of what
Kolepaugh should do.
The following day, Kolepaugh turned himself in to the FBI and volunteered
to help them find his co-spy Gimpel.
When the FBI contacted Willy's mother, Havel Lina Kolepaugh, she claimed
that her son's third cousin was Franklin Delanor Roosevelt.(!)
When J. Edgar Hoover revealed this claim – and her further claim that the
president had a Kolepaugh Bible on which he took the Oath of Office at one
of his inaugurations – the president replied: "He is no relation of mine
and the family Bible on which I took the Oath of Office happens to be a
Roosevelt one, with manuscript notations of births and deaths as far back
as the 17th century. Enough said!"
On Feb. 14, 1945, Kolepaugh and Gimpel were convicted by a military
tribunal of espionage. They were sentenced to death. But their sentences
were commuted to life imprisonment. In 1955, Gimpel was released and
deported to Germany. Kolepaugh was released in 1960.
At Admiral Farragut Academy, which is now located entirely in St.
Petersburg, Fla., (The northern branch in Toms River, N.J. having been
closed down in 1944) Adm. Richard Wheeler, chairman of the board, recalled
Kolepaugh's having attended the academy: "But we have no information as to
where he is now or even if he is alive, he has disappeared."
Adm. Wheeler recalled that among the many alumni who served faithfully were
dozens who gave their lives. He added: "This academy produced a number of
admirals and generals as well as two space walkers, Alan Shepard and
Charles Duke.
