Inga Arvad. “Just before the end of the year [1941] [John F. Kennedy] initiated a torrid affair with a married Danish journalist, Inga Marie Arvad, who was estranged from her husband, a Hungarian movie director … Arvad, a former beauty queen, had interviewed Hitler and briefly socialized with him and other leading Nazis in 1936, while covering the Olympics for a Danish newspaper … [Washington Times-Herald editor Frank Waldrop hired her [in 1941] to write a fluffy human interest column that focused on new arrivals to wartime Washington. [Naval officer] Jack Kennedy was among those she interviewed… The FBI, alerted to Arvad’s meeting with Hitler by a jealous fellow reporter on the Times-Herald, marked her as a potential Nazi spy and began an investigation into her background … No evidence linking Arvad to any wrongdoing was found … [In an interview with Seymour Hersh in 1997 Cartha DeLoach, deputy director of the FBI, said] “The investigation on Inga Arvad never conclusively proved that she was a German espionage agent… She had an amorous relationship with John F. Kennedy. And basically that’s what the files contained. She was never indicted, never brought into court, never convicted.” (S. M. Hersh, The Dark Side of Camelot, Boston 1997, p. 82-86)
