We should have solved the gitmo issue by doing the same long ago.

I think one guy from the first group wasn't executed. He turned himself in to the FBI.

A lucky Coast Guardsman spotted the first group coming ashore, they bribed him to stay quiet and he pretended to agree. He went back to the barracks and called his superiors. Then as I said one guy didn't want to go through with the mission and turned him self in and helped the FBI capture the others.

All the saboteurs were selected because they had lived and worked in the US before the war.

Also the Germans set up a automated weather station in Canada that wasn't discovered until several decades after the war.

Yeah, the one guy testified in return for not getting bumped off.

I believe there is a section on this in the book 'Operation Drumbeat'. About the Uboats off our coast.

Here is the Wikipedia page on the German weather station I mentioned.
