You may never return alive. 15 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.079 What you have just heard is the question asked during 16 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.560 the war to agents of the OSS ordinary citizens. So 17 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.239 to this question answered yes, This is Cloak and Dagger, 18 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.280 black warfare, espionage, international intrigue. These are the weapons of 19 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.400 the OSS. Today's adventure Norwegian Incident is suggested by an 20 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.200 actual incident recorded in the Washington files of the Office 21 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.200 of Strategic Services, a story that can now be told. 22 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.319 It was quite a jump from being an associate professor 23 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.120 at Wisconsin to the red dust of Camp Rooker. But 24 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.479 like most of the guys, I just got used to it. 25 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.120 I got used to the clothes, the food. They let 26 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:20.960 me lie in it a while longer. I might even 27 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.639 have gotten used to that army cut. 28 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.639 Hey, yeah, Anderson, you awake? How might get up? 29 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.039 That's what I like about the army. Everybody is so considered. 30 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:30.879 I'm on, come on. 31 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.039 The captain wants to see it. You too, Parillo, Snap 32 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:35.120 to it and get your clothes out. 33 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:37.639 What's it all about? 34 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:38.599 How should I know? 35 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:40.080 Ask Private Perillo. 36 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.520 He's the guy with all the answers. 37 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.120 What do you do now, Pete? Nothing? The captain wants 38 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:46.719 to see us at this time of the night. You 39 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.800 must have pulled up, beauty. Ah, you are nuts. The captains 40 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.280 of Palermne probably wants to know if I'm awake. 41 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.960 Gentlemen, what I'm about to say is confidential, just between 42 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.879 the three of us. If you refuse my offer, it 43 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.840 will not be counted against you, nor will it go 44 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.840 on to your record. I understandswer the Office of Strategic 45 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.520 Services has requested both of you. Well, I accept, I've 46 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.400 always jumped to having an normous job with a pretty 47 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.000 whack for a secretary. 48 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:24.280 And I'm afraid you don't understand have a cigarette? Huh? Oh? Thanks. 49 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.479 You see the job of the OSS is to disrupt 50 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.080 enemy activity in every way possible, and one of their 51 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.120 most effective methods is to drop men behind enemy lines. 52 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.639 Oh, may may I ask why I've been requested? Sir? 53 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.439 Well, I understand, Corporal Anderson, your parents come from Norway 54 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.240 and that you speak the language. Yes, sir, I've spent 55 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.240 most of my last ten summers in Norway. 56 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.759 But why may I have a tough time with English? Well, 57 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.319 according to your record for Alow, you were a sandhog. 58 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.120 Well, yes, and Cervies, I was a demolition expite, so 59 00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:01.159 naturally the Army put me in the infantry sir, yes, Oh. 60 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.240 This job is strictly volunteer. If you want me to 61 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:05.680 leave you alone for a few minutes. 62 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:06.280 I won't be necessary. 63 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.000 Captain, I should have wiresed that when you give me 64 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.199 a cigarette, cat and every time I get something for 65 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.360 nothing from an officer, I end up in trouble. 66 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.319 Basic training turned out to be a maypole dance compared 67 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.079 to the grind that the OSS put us through. Since 68 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.759 we've been kids, the word sportsmanship had been drilled into us. Well, 69 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.839 the OSS kicked it out. The other team was playing 70 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.000 dirty pool, and we had to go by their rules. 71 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.839 Jagged edge of a bottle, stiff fingers in the eye 72 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:39.480 and knee, and the groin, the flat of a hand 73 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:44.199 across the neck became close friends of ours. We slept 74 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.879 on the flight across the Atlantic and finally arrived in London. 75 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.480 Gentlemen, I out, I know a mission, duril.

This red line north to 85 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.759 the south is the main line of supply. At this 86 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.879 point there's a bridge which you are to blow up. 87 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.480 Why that shouldn't be tough blowing it up? No, However, 88 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.680 five hundred yards from the bridge not here as a 89 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.800 German company barracks. The bridge is well protected. It's up 90 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.959 to you to figure out a way to dynamite it. 91 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.759 We'll aw about our Norwegian contact, who's going to meet us. 92 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:35.199 Well. 93 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.000 When you hit the shore, take cover precisely eleven o'clock 94 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.040 a man will be strolling down the beach. 95 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:41.920 Stop him. 96 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.879 Ask him how the fishing is. You'll answer not too 97 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.120 good in winter.

Yeah, but I can't speak Norwegian. You 100 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.879 will not say anything. At any time you will be known, 101 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.920 is the dumb one? What the reason you're call the 102 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.680 dumb one? Goes back to a childhood disease. Now, goodbye, gentlemen, 103 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.240 and good luck. 104 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.720 They flew us to the north of England, hustled us 105 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.600 on a boat and tore off for the coast of Norway. 106 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.040 I brief Pete on the terrain, everything I knew about 107 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.959 the bridge. We studied the photographs and rehearsed the parts 108 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.360 we were to play. The clothes we were given smelled 109 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.199 of fish, had been made in Oslo, worn by a 110 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.920 Norwegian and probably picked up in a hawk shop and 111 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:42.000 a bowery. We felt the boat slow down, and Pete 112 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.639 and I went topside to get our first glimpse of Norway. 113 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.879 Well this is as close as we can get, gentlemen. 114 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:51.560 Now one of my men will row you the rest 115 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:52.920 of the way and return with the boat. 116 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.120 That's just dandy. How do we get back? 117 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.079 According to my orders, you have five days to do 118 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.800 your job.

You 120 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.360 will signal us from the beach with a flashlight, you 121 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.720 know the signal. We can stay no longer than ten minutes. 122 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.720 I suppose we can't meganon in time. What then, I 123 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.360 hope you can. Where's the dynamite? You're standing right next 124 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.759 to it. Those brows are full of fish. 125 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.680 Yes, the top two layers. The rest of the fish 126 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.560 have been gutted and filled with plastic containers of dynamite 127 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.600 in case you are stopped. Don't worry about the fish. 128 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.279 They were caught here last night, packed in ice and 129 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.120 flow into England and they're still nice and fresh. 130 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.600 Well, we don't blow up the bridge, we can at 131 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:48.480 least open up a fish, or let's go. We didn't 132 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.639 look back as we rode to the shore. We listened 133 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.560 to the waves hitting the beach. We listened to the 134 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.399 stillness that seemed to surround all of Norway. We beached 135 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.000 the boat, pile our dynamite behind some bushes, and. 136 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:08.879 Waited, what time is an energy?

However, you look 164 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.159 like my nephew Silk. 165 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.519 Won't you run into trouble having four nephews walking around you? 166 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.480 No, no, the other to lift by sea before you arrived. 167 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:06.480 They also left their wagon so that we can carry 168 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.240 your catch. 169 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.519 So yeah, Pop, ain't you awful all to be mixed 170 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:14.519 up in this sort of thing? 171 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.399 What there is?

There were no lights in 174 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.919 the houses we passed, There were no people on the roads. 175 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.159 This was occupied territory. Fear and hate filled the air. 176 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.960 This was Norway with no songs unless you can make 177 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.240 music out of the heavy tread of a German soldier. 178 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.639 They pulled the wagon up the road for about four 179 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.519 miles without saying a word. Then we saw the roadblock. 180 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.840 Oh bit the German sentry.

Yeah, yeah, 205 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.399 imagine the dumb one with the girl. 206 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.519 He wouldn't know what to say. It is very funny 207 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:30.399 my hair, of course, move along, answer. The steak of 208 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.440 fish is beginning to hang in the air. Go along now, Yeah, hey, 209 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.720 dumb one, maybe you will introduce me to your girl. 210 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:46.039 I'll bet she looks like guy's got a great sense 211 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.919 of humor. He made a move for that barrel of fish. 212 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.879 I thought we were done. 213 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:56.279 It was close close for him too, say palm, you 214 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.159 and I German centric were real chummy, the kind of 215 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.799 dangerous for the head the underground. 216 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:06.000 You're off for the head underground. But I am also 217 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:12.440 the low curl. Christian reached his house without any trouble. 218 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.519 There have been two very long days and we were beat. 219 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:18.480 I managed to get my. 220 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.879 Shoes up before I collapsed, and then the sun broke 221 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.360 in through the window and I got up eat and 222 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.240 I went down for breakfast. There wasn't much to eat, 223 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.679 so we broke out our rations and treated Jensen and 224 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:34.159 his housekeeper to some real special delicacies dried egg and chocolate. 225 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.919 Oh that was good. You're good. I'm not the army here, 226 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.240 you say that. Huh, they've dried everything up with steak, 227 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.399 mister Janson. Are we going to have any unexpected visitors? 228 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.159 I do not think so. The Germans very seldom come 229 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.440 to my home. Occasionally an officer will drop in, but 230 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.480 not to open a many men whom you need. 231 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.519 I hope we won't need any tonight. Pete and I 232 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.840 will take a look at the bridge. How close can 233 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:09.120 we get? That depends on what on how much of 234 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.279 a chance you want to take. We've got to get 235 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.919 right on it if possible. When we place the dynamitem, 236 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.480 it must be done fast. We can't afford to grope. 237 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:23.799 You can walk across just like that sentrados and stuff. 238 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:23.960 You know. 239 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:29.960 I would suggest that you ask his permission. See serious 240 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.080 Andy very see if we get cut sneaking across, we're 241 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.480 lable to be shot if we can fool a guard 242 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.360 at the bridge we walk across, and supposing we don't 243 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:56.960 fool the sentry, you get shot there it is up ahead. Yeah, 244 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.480 I'm at that, Heine placing back and forth. Wait a second, 245 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.159 whatever you do, don't say a word. Even if he 246 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.000 sticks that bayonet into you, don't say one word. I 247 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.080 hope you and that guy hit it off real well. 248 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:17.360 Hansen gave me a good story. It should work. Come on, Hi, 249 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:20.240 good evening, right, Nette. 250 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:25.000 I am a corporal, not that I wouldn't make a 251 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.039 better officer than most of them. 252 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.480 What do you want? We would like to cross the bridge? 253 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:32.639 Bye? 254 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:33.440 Uh? 255 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.799 Mister Janssen is our uncle. We have a message to deliver. 256 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.039 What kind of a message about a party for the 257 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:47.600 Germans who are paricked here? For the officers. I suppose. 258 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:49.759 Let me see your papers? 259 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.879 You too? He is dumb. He cannot speak, he. 260 00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:01.720 Can hear, can't he? Papus think all Norwegians are dumb. 261 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.120 The party is to be for the enlisted man. 262 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.120 Of course, you understand I was not referring to Hay Johnson. 263 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:17.200 He is a smart man. He knows which side his 264 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:23.039 bread is buttered. Yeah, your papers go on now, don't 265 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:24.080 light on the bridge. 266 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:32.080 Thank you. Keep your eyes open, Fete. You can only 267 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.720 make this trip once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how does it 268 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.879 look to you? We can do it. Well, it'll take 269 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.639 us at least an hour to set this stuff. An hour. 270 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.000 It's an awful long time. 271 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.200 This is an. 272 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.679 Awful big bridge. You're going to have to do a 273 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:58.679 good job the first time. Ah, I see you got back. 274 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.200 Did did you have any Ah, no trouble. I told 275 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.679 him that you were going to throw a party for 276 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.359 the enlisted man. He was quite pleased. And mister Furlow, 277 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.279 you think you can do the job. I can do 278 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.640 it all right if I have the time. 279 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.559 It is very important to us. This is their main 280 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.200 line of supply from the note. It will cripple them 281 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.279 for months. What happens after we do this, there will 282 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.880 be a price. It's a few more will die. 283 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:30.400 Huh, that's a tough shake. Oh, there are times when 284 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.160 it is better to die. And do you tend to 285 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.440 blow up the bridge day after tomorrow? The boat'll be 286 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:39.880 there to pick us up. If we blow the bridge 287 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.839 at twelve, let' still have two hours more than enough time. 288 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.160 I ain't gonna look bad for you.

I note that 296 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:07.079 being a spine was going to be so easy. I 297 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.319 had a buck for it long ago. 298 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:21.359 Yeah, things are going easy, all right, too easy. 299 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.359 Hey wait, you've been andy, I've been waiting at now. 300 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.599 We got a ride before to make Remember we aren't 301 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.039 blowing the bridge tonight, Pete, why don't you think you 302 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:31.599 ought to let me in on your plans.

Nazis are moving south and we 308 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.599 can put our real crimp in their plans. Keep talking. 309 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.359 Not only do we blow the bridge, but we blow 310 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:50.519 up a loaded troop train. 311 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.400 It ain't that shaving of a bit. Ten tomorrow night, 312 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.440 so last night we can make that boat. Remember it's 313 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.240 up to you, Pete. Stop making me the heavy.

That's all there is to it. 316 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.119 We'll just one more question. Have you figured out how 317 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:09.920 we get to the beach. You had to blow up 318 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.240 through the woods. They're not crawling with Nazis. M manue 319 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:16.319 With the commander of that boat, said he'd only wait 320 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.279 ten minutes and suppose to what's our crawler with Nazis? 321 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:21.880 Well, we take the big gamble and try to float 322 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.440 down the river to the sea. I hope we make it, 323 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:29.240 that's all. Yeah, Well, okay, I vote your way. Since 324 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:30.680 we're here, we might as well do it up right. 325 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.160 It's a wonderful opportunity, Pete, even if it is a 326 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:33.599 big gam. 327 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.799 I don't mind a gamble. I just hope the dice 328 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:45.400 ain't loaded. We sat for hours and watched the darkness 329 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:48.799 at eleven. We looked at our watches, thought about the 330 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:50.319 Pete tepot anchored off shore. 331 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.920 There were a lot of ifs in our plans. If 332 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.599 the moon didn't shine, if the Germans didn't wise up, 333 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.839 if the train wasn't late, if the guards weren't doubled. 334 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.000 We spent a long night and a long long day 335 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.759 waiting for it to get dark again. When Janson burst 336 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.359 into the room. You you will have to change your plants. 337 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.680 We can't. We're set to leave in thirty minutes. Downstairs, 338 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.920 a guest stop, who made you want? Somebody taught?
