Hmmm...Virginia is home to the Pentagon and wartime intelligence services...

Here is a book review in the NY Times of a book by Pol

[ DISPLAYING ABSTRACT ]

MR. POL’S “hidden enemy” is the Pan-German movement, which he believes to have been a sort of brain trust which led the German Army and the German people into the wars of 1914 and 1939. A great deal has been written about Hasse, Klass and the other authors of the theory that Germans, being a superior people, were entitled to rule through conquest.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Thanks for doing the shovel work. So Pol was evidently based in the U.S., whatever his nationality and background. At least by 1942. I wonder how he came to such current knowledge about murky affairs in the middle east. Too bad the Times doesn’t normally insert brief bios in articles by guest writers.
