In what year did John Cullen discover the first landing of German on the US coast?

• A. 1940
• B. 1942
• C. 1944
• D. 1946

Answer: (B)

During World War II, the first German landings on the U.S. coast happened in 1942 as part of Operation Pastorius. Eight saboteurs were landed by submarine along the East Coast (including Long Island and Florida) in June 1942. The attempt was quickly foiled, and the event highlighted the vulnerability of the U.S. coastline. So, 1942 is the correct year. The other options do not fit the timeline of these first landings.
