Dietrich has now publicly announced or falsely "accused" his own father of being a murderer.

While reading an article about the psychotic "Hangman" John C. Woods, Douglas Dietrich infuses one of the most incredible claims I have ever heard spew from his rotten mouth.
While reading an article about the psychotic "Hangman" John C. Woods, Douglas Dietrich infuses one of the most incredible claims I have ever heard spew from his rotten mouth.
Dietrich claims that his father was stationed on Enewetak Atoll
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enewetak_Atoll in July 1950.
As Dietrich tells it, his father hung out with the German scientists on the island during Operation Paperclip. And on July 21, 1950, his father "knocked Woods into the water and then handed him a live wire cable and Woods lit up like a lightbulb."
"My father got away with murder."
But Dietrich is such a piss-poor liar, his latest revision of history makes no sense at all. (You electricians can correct me,) but I think someone immersed in water would not "light-up" as described, but would boil and spark. I don't know, but handing someone a live wire into water sounds a bit risky too.
The real version is that Woods was either changing a light bulb or working on a light source and was standing in a "puddle" of water. Others have theorized his manner of death occured while working on an "electric chair", or assassination by Operation Paperclip German Scientists.
Of course, Douglas Dietrich does not provide any other pertinent details with regard to the incident. He fails to explain how his father became assigned to shore duty on Enewetak or what his official duties were.
He quoted his father responding to questions from investigators at the time in a manner inconsistent with anything normally expected from a sailor and suggests that his father committed the murder of Woods as a result of his association with German scientists.
Perhaps these details will begin surfacing as "context" in future embellishments of the tale. But my experience with such details is that they are simply more lies supporting the first lie.
You can find the story of Woods here:
"MSgt" Woods was a high-school dropout and was discharged by the US Navy after going AWOL when serving before WW2. He was discharged with a "Psych Eval and rating" that should have prevented him from any further service! Does that sound familiar?
Amazingly, the guy was later promoted from Private to Master Sergeant in 1944-45 after he lied about being a trained/experienced "hangman". Wow, how did that guy slip through the cracks?
But it gets even worse. According to numerous reliable sources, the US Army never got or never attempted to obtain his Navy service record and the rest is history.
All I know is that George J. Dietrich was nowhere near Enewetak Atoll in July 1950:
His assignment according to his own service record shows him being stationed on the East Coast USA and assigned to "RECSTA (Receiving Station) Brooklyn, NY from Jan 1950 to Feb 1951 when he was then assigned to "AFSC, Norva" (Norfolk, Virginia).
Further research also proves his father's whereabouts while assigned to the Attack Cargo Ship USS Virgo (AKA-20)
from August to November 1949.
And this confirms my finding that his father was serving some of the earliest of his following years in a Navy supply rating after serving as a cook during WW2.

"She completed repairs in August and on the 21st began a series of voyages from the west coast to American bases in the Far East. She carried provisions and stores to bases in the Philippines in the Marianas in Japan and in China. She also made side trips to Okinawa the Admiralty Islands and Korea. That routine lasted until the latter half of 1949. In October 1949 she began an overhaul at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard which lasted until the beginning of 1950. Between 7 February and 31 March 1950 the attack cargo ship made a round-trip voyage from Oakland to Guam and back to San Diego. On 25 April she departed San Diego for a voyage to the east coast of the United States. During that voyage, she transited the Panama Canal and visited both Bayonne N.J. and Norfolk Va. She returned to the west coast via the Panama Canal once more and arrived back in San Diego on 17 July."
"While Virgo visited the east coast conflict broke out in the Far East once again. On 25 June troops of communist North Korea invaded the Republic of Korea (ROK) to the south. The United States and later the United Nations responded with support for South Korea against the aggressors. Thus Virgo soon found herself supporting combat forces once more. On 19 August she departed Port Chicago Calif. with Navy passengers embarked and with a load of ammunition bound ultimately for Korea. She stopped at Sasebo Japan from 6 to 15 September and then headed for Inchon Korea. She arrived at Inchon on the 16th the day following the amphibious landing carried out there. She remained in the Korean war zone first at Inchon and later at Jinsen Ko for about three weeks. During that time the attack cargo ship provisioned minesweepers a Canadian destroyer an American destroyer and supplied ammunition to the troops ashore. She departed Korea on 7 October and returned to Japan where she visited Sasebo and Yokosuka before heading back to the United States on 1 November. After a stop at Pearl Harbor the ship arrived in San Francisco on 19 November and began repairs at the Pacific Repair Co." https://www.hullnumber.com/AKA-20
This reinforces my refutation of Dietrich's latest BS claim because it too shows "context" while disproving his utterly insane bullshit!
