A ransom was paid, but to no avail. The trial of a German immigrant for the child's murder became known as the Trial of the Century. After moving his family to England to escape a relentless American tabloid press, Lindbergh began visiting Germany. Hosted by the Nazi elite, he came to believe that the Nazis were "the only hope for restoring moral world order." Returning to the United States with his family, Lindbergh became one of the most prominent voices against American involvement in World War II. But his pro-Nazi sympathies and anti-Semitic rhetoric led to newspapers writing editorials condemning him and the public turning against him. When Lindbergh offered his services to the War Department after Pearl Harbor, he was rejected. But he eventually served in the South Pacific, flying 50 combat missions. After the war, he published a bestselling memoir about his flight over the Atlantic and worked on environmental issues. In 2005, three decades after his death in 1974, the public would learn that he fathered seven children by three German women with whom he had longstanding affairs.
