The #FBI’s December #ArtifactoftheMonth is an Eyemo, a 35mm film camera similar to the one used to conduct surveillance on the Duquesne Spy Ring. Special agents used cameras like this one to film a series of meetings between double agent William Sebold and Nazis. #History
The German Secret Service persuaded Sebold, a German-American, to spy on the U.S., but Sebold ultimately served as a double agent for the U.S. He met with Nazis in a bogus office that had hidden microphones and a two-way mirror that enabled the U.S. to secretly film the meetings. Image
Special Agent James E. Amos, one of the #FBI’s first African-American special agents, shadowed ringleader Frederick Joubert Duquesne during the FBI's investigation and helped bring the Duquesne Spy Ring to justice. #OurHistoryOurService Image
During the trial, Duquesne claimed he had visited President Theodore Roosevelt many times—a claim that Special Agent Amos easily disqualified because Amos had worked for the president for 12 years. #OurHistoryOurService
