The Ritchie Boys background

The Ritchie Boys

After escaping the Holocaust, a group of survivors found refuge in America, where they joined the US Army and honed their language skills through Military Intelligence training. They then returned to Europe to play a crucial role in the Allied effort to defeat the Nazi regime.

Elite German Jewish academics formed an elite intelligence unit at Camp Ritchie, Maryland during WWII, tasked with breaking the morale of the SS, and are credited with shortening the war.
