Hello everyone,

I am interested in finding a good website or forum board on the OSS specifically. I was curious to know about something and I am unable to find any references to it at all. It may seem strange but I am going to pose my question here just in case. My question is this.

 

I know that OSS teams parachuted into German held France at the time to cause all sorts of mischief as well as help the resistance movement. I am aware that they operated in usually groups of 2 but sometimes as many as 4.

I am also aware that each member of the said teams were given mundane code names for each other such as "Harry", or "TOM" BUT what I do not know, and have not been able to find out is this: Did the members of each teams, know each others real names or information, OR was it strictly each member had a code name and that is ALL you knew of the person?

 

If someone could answer the question OR point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!

You may want to contact Dr. Charles Briscoe. He is the Command Historian and Editor of the United States Army's Special Operations Command magazine Veritas. He is located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
