John F Kennedy had a romance with a Nazi spy

Inga Arvad (1913–1973) was a Danish journalist, noted for a romantic relationship with John F. Kennedy during 1941 and 1942 and for being Adolf Hitler's companion at the 1936 Summer Olympics. She was born Inga Maria Petersen but changed her name in 1931.

In November 1941, while John F. Kennedy served as an ensign in the US Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence, he and Arvad began a romantic relationship.


Arvad was already being followed by the FBI due to the fact she was a resident alien and Hoover's concerns that she was a German spy, as well as her previously being photographed meeting Hitler. 

When the FBI discovered that the "ensign Jack" that had been visiting the married Arvad was, in fact, a Kennedy, they extended their investigation through wire-taps.

Kennedy tried to recover those audiotapes throughout his presidency.
