  • Martin James Monti was a United States airman who enlisted in the Army Air Force as a pilot and was at the rank of second lieutenant when he defected to Germany, taking his P-38 Lightning aircraft {#44-23725} and landing at Milan on October 13, 1944. Monti gave propaganda speeches on German radio, using the alias "Martin Wiethaupt", but was regarded as a poor broadcaster and was rarely used. He joined the SS in the last weeks of the war and was given the rank of SS-Untersturmführer before heading to Italy, where he surrendered to the Americans. In 1946, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison on the charge of desertion, but was pardoned within a year on condition he join the army. He was serving as a sergeant when the FBI rearrested him in 1948. He was charged with treason and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Monti was paroled in 1960.
  • Martin James Monti era nato a St. Louis nel 1910 da padre italo-svizzero e da madre tedesca e nell'ottobre 1944 risulta avere il grado di sottotenente corrispondente delle SS col nome di Martin Wiethaupt. Ed era ancora con l'uniforme delle SS quando si arrendeva agli americani. Veniva poi condannato a 15 anni di lavori forzati e nel 1948 veniva preso in consegna dall' FBI. Verrà scarcerato sulla parola nel 1960.
