00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,920
nineteen fifty, here is swastika on the windmill.

12
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,479
Speaker 2: Are you willing to undertake a dangerous mission behind the

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,799
enemy linees knowing you may never return alive.

14
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,239
Speaker 3: What you have just heard is the question asked during

15
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,760
the war to agents of the OSS ordinary citizens who

16
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,799
to this question answered yes. This is Cloak and Dagger,

17
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:44,920
Black warfare, espionage, international entrigue. These are the weapons of

18
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,159
the OSS. In today's adventure, the Swastika on the Windmill.

19
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,799
The role of Paul halfand an OSS agent in Holland,

20
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,680
is played by Lestremaine The story is suggested by actual

21
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:59,599
incidents recorded in the Washington files of the Office of

22
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:03,959
Strategic Services, a story that can now be told.

23
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,039
Speaker 4: My mouth was as dry as ashes. The palms of

24
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,479
my hands were ringing wet. My revolver was drawn and

25
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:16,360
I moved slowly, slowly along the dark hall. Everything I

26
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,159
had been taught led up to this moment.

27
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,879
Speaker 5: Boards under my feet heated.

28
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,439
Speaker 4: For a terrifying moment, I almost lost my balance and

29
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:29,280
fell backwards. Something was ahead of me in a room

30
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:32,759
along that dark passage. I sensed it more than anything else.

31
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,159
Then I heard it on my half man. I stopped

32
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:39,199
breathing until I had passed that room, and the voices

33
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,199
of the hidden Germans almost slid past them.

34
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:44,719
Speaker 5: To the end of the corridor.

35
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,879
Speaker 4: There was a Nazi stormtrooper in uniform right in front

36
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:49,719
of me, blocking the exit.

37
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,599
Speaker 6: Well, fire, fire, fire again, it'd work, Paul.

38
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 5: Well, that's it. You passed the test. Now the colonel

39
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,840
wants to see you.

40
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:06,759
Speaker 4: What I had just come through was a cleverly designed

41
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,360
scarehouse that rivaled any Coney Island chamber of horrors for

42
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:13,360
one a minute thrills. This was part of the training

43
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,879
of an OSS agent and it took place less than

44
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,639
an hour's ride from Washington, d C. We turned how

45
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,680
far at the present time we have no information and

46
00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:25,120
no way of getting information on the disposition and plans

47
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:29,400
of German troops and Netherlands. We think they're up to something.

48
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: Well, no what. Now you'll be flown to England and

49
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,800
from there a submarine will take you to the coast

50
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:36,439
of Holland.

51
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:41,039
Speaker 4: The coast of Holland to me, Holland was that little

52
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,520
country where my uncle Brohm lived, where I visited when

53
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,159
I was twelve, where the windmills were now under the

54
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:55,879
shadow of the swastika. I guess we can surface about here.

55
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:58,000
There's mac on Holland. I want to take a look

56
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,439
with tenthalphon thanks command. Spilling through the periscope of the

57
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:05,280
submarine Tuna and I could see a windmill on the

58
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,120
flat lowland of the Netherlands. I couldn't see the swastika,

59
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:12,800
but I knew it was there. The pressure gage showed

60
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,639
twenty feet of salt water above us.

61
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:24,879
Speaker 5: Take her up her out o an hatch.

62
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: We climbed the ladder through the hatch, where an inflated

63
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:38,759
rubber boat was waiting to take me to shore. I'm

64
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,360
only a couple of yards from shore. I can get

65
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:46,600
out here. Hand me that rucksack. Please here you are, sir?

66
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,560
Have you fought to go from here? It's only about

67
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,759
five miles from Macum to Bolsward, where my uncle lives.

68
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,519
I can make it before the sun comes up. Goodbye

69
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:00,160
and thanks, good luck, good Luck's.

70
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 7: So when you rang the bell at Sanna Paul, I

71
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:15,199
jumped for my bed the devil, I said, it's the

72
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,639
guest tap. They finally put two and two together and

73
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:20,639
connected me with the underground.

74
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 8: Hush, brahm, hush, God gave your tongue. Must you use

75
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,439
it so loosely?

76
00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: I'm afraid my new aunt Hilda doesn't trust me completely.

77
00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 9: I trust no one.

78
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 5: Oh, this is poor.

79
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 7: How often have I spoken to you of the times

80
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,199
he came here when he was how old?

81
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 5: Poor? Twelve?

82
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,079
Speaker 7: Uncle Brown, Yes, twelve and so proper, So collect a

83
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,079
miniature model of propriety. Well, from the looks of it,

84
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,800
you've grown, but you haven't changed much. Still proper is

85
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,800
the devil.

86
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,319
Speaker 4: The result of my strict Quaker upbringing.

87
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:57,879
Speaker 10: Uncle Brohn.

88
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: Remember we were both taught number two drink or smoke

89
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,279
or lie or or swear, Uncle Brom.

90
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 9: Yes, how long will you stay in Holland?

91
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: Only long enough to contact the leader of the underground

92
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,439
and get the information I'm after?

93
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 9: I see? Tell me, why should we believe that you

94
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:22,560
are an allied spy? Answer me?

95
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,439
Speaker 4: Sure you don't expect me to carry proof about me

96
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,800
that I'm a spy in case the Germans find me?

97
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:28,639
Speaker 9: Then how do we know?

98
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 5: That's enough? At the devil, I say, and here know

99
00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:32,199
more of this dog?

100
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 8: All right, Brown, it will be as you say, and

101
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,399
on your conscience.

102
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 5: Your your wife doesn't trust me.

103
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,639
Speaker 7: You were surprised to know it, doubt to find you

104
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,079
Aunt Katrina dead and I remarried.

105
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 5: Yes, yes I was, Uncle Brom. I was lonesome.

106
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 7: It's not good for the men to live by himself.

107
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,639
And she is a good woman, but she doesn't trust me.

108
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,319
She has her reasons. There was some men in these

109
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:12,360
parts not long ago. He passed himself officer British agent,

110
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,920
gained the confidence of some of the Undergrund. Then he

111
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:21,759
turned them over to the Gestapo. I see he as

112
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,240
family was among those executed.

113
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: You understand now, uncle problem. You haven't seen me or

114
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:33,279
heard from me since I was a boy. You don't

115
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,120
know where I've been during those years in between. You

116
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,360
don't know what my loyalties are. Do you trust me?

117
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 7: Tomorrow? I may take steps to put you in contact

118
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,800
with Hans spoke in Luardin, the leader of the Dutch underground.

119
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: When I awoke a few hours later, it was about

120
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:59,199
ten o'clock. Through the window of a spare room that

121
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,319
Aunt held her ma up for me, I could see

122
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:04,120
the neat little milk carts joling over the Christine and

123
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,120
the cobblestones, and I could see the endless stream of bicycles,

124
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:12,920
and here and there a German soldier in uniform, like

125
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:16,199
a blot on the landscape.

126
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 7: I'm afraid the breakfast is not assumptuous.

127
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,879
Speaker 5: It as what's in the old days.

128
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 9: Poor do not apologize for what we cannot change.

129
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: Aunt Hilda is right. It was very good. The Rogua

130
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,240
Brood was just as I remembered it. And these current bunds,

131
00:08:34,279 --> 00:08:36,360
these Creanton brutes, are wonderful.

132
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 9: I will leave you. I have a house to clean.

133
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,639
Speaker 5: You're still suspicious of me?

134
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:45,639
Speaker 9: Have I any reason not to be it enough?

135
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,279
Speaker 7: Paul is my sister's son. I will stake my own

136
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,559
life's blood that he is to be trusted. Let us

137
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,639
hope you do not have to, Aunt Hilda. Look this pistol,

138
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,799
I'm giving it to you. It's the only one I have, the.

139
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 9: Only one you have, and you give it to me.

140
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:08,519
Speaker 5: Yeah.

141
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:12,879
Speaker 4: I put myself at your mercy. If at any time

142
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,039
you have proof even the slightest that I'm not what

143
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,519
I claim to be, take my own gun and turn.

144
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 11: It on me.

145
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:25,039
Speaker 8: I will take your gun and take you at your word.

146
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: That should convince her. Paul, you are what you say,

147
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:34,399
I hope.

148
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 4: So now, what about this hunts Buck? How can I

149
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,000
get in touch with him?

150
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:43,799
Speaker 7: I will arrange for a meeting between you halfway at

151
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,039
the Handling in five days from now, to give him

152
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,960
time to collect the information.

153
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 5: You are after.

154
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 4: The days until Thursday when I was supposed to meet

155
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,200
haunts Buck past slowly, but they weren't wasted. I set

156
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,000
up a short wave radio and a wine cellar read

157
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:06,600
in the living room. I had long talks with Uncle Brahm,

158
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:08,200
and I went out of my way to win over

159
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,360
Aunt Hilda. Are you sure there's nothing I can do

160
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,519
to help you with dinner?

161
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: Aunt Hilda?

162
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 9: Nothing? Thank you?

163
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,039
Speaker 5: Oh, it's.

164
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,159
Speaker 4: It's still raining one need not be.

165
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 9: Too clever to see that.

166
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 8: In Holland it seems always to be raining now, rain,

167
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,440
mud and despair.

168
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: I remember when I came here years ago, it was winter.

169
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,960
I was in time for the skaters.

170
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,879
Speaker 9: Races, Yeah, skaters races.

171
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:52,879
Speaker 5: And the booths.

172
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 4: Remember the little booths that sold chocolate and milk cooked

173
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,799
with aniseed, and the little cakes, all the varieties of gingerbread.

174
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 5: How I love them.

175
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 9: Hand me the spoon.

176
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 5: Here here you are.

177
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 9: Thank you. Tell me about America. What is it like?

178
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: It's too large to describe in a sentence, or too

179
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,720
When the war is over, you must come visitors.

180
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 9: When the war is over.

181
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,639
Speaker 4: Well, little can't last forever, and America is helping. And

182
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:38,120
remember our leader, President Roosevelt, is himself of Dutch ancestry.

183
00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 8: Tomorrow, tomorrow, perhaps I will make you a gingerbread cake.

184
00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:01,399
Speaker 4: Yes, I wonder over slowly. And on Thursday, when I

185
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,519
left for Harlingen, she said good bye to me.

186
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,519
Speaker 5: At the door with uncle Brom.

187
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 7: You know where to meet him, Paul, you have everything clear?

188
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, everything, uncle Brahm.

189
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,039
Speaker 4: I'm to meet him beside the monument of the Stone

190
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,879
Man on the North Sea Dikes. I'll be nodding and

191
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,679
unknotting a piece of string so he'll know me. Good good.

192
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:26,559
We will see you later to night.

193
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: Then, yeah, pull.

194
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 9: Here. This is for you in case you should have

195
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,919
need of it.

196
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 5: My pistol take it back.

197
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 10: Thank you, Thank you, Aunt Hulda Kurtain Morgan, Gourden Morgan.

198
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,240
This habit you have of nothing and non nothing string?

199
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,679
Is it not a waste of time?

200
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: Nothing is a waste if it serves a purpose? Here buck, yeah, right.

201
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,519
Speaker 5: An elephant. We may this blend the information the habit?

202
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

203
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,399
Speaker 11: Where where in my head? You will have to memorize

204
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:24,000
it as I give it to you. I could not

205
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,039
take a chance of writing anything down. I'll remember then,

206
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:32,039
remember it and use it well. There are forty thousand

207
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,799
Nazi troops in Holland and Belgium. These troops will be

208
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,360
on the move within two weeks. Where they're going northern Italy.

209
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:42,639
They will be used to cut off the American advance there.

210
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:47,039
Speaker 4: The colonel did suspect the worst. Thank you, thank you.

211
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,600
I'll radio this out tonight.

212
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,639
Speaker 11: It is appropriate, is it not for us to meet

213
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,759
under the statue of the Stoneman.

214
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,519
Speaker 5: See the inscription terminus.

215
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 11: It means thus far and no farther a threat to

216
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:04,759
the sea that is held back by the.

217
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 4: Dykes thus far, and no farther a threat also to

218
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:10,639
the Nazis.

219
00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:15,919
Speaker 11: Yeah you understand me, Well remember me to your uncle

220
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,399
and goodbye for now.

221
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:33,799
Speaker 7: Her book is in constant danger of discovery by the Gestapo, Paul.

222
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,039
It's why he could not take a chance and write

223
00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:39,879
that information down for you. It wasn't necessary of a brom.

224
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,440
He passed it from his head to mine.

225
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:44,639
Speaker 9: When will you radio it to London?

226
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: After midnight? I think I can start now. What's that?

227
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:50,559
Speaker 10: Ah?

228
00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 7: Stopping in front of the house? Men getting out so late?

229
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,399
Speaker 9: Who are there? You know them?

230
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,279
Speaker 2: No? I don't.

231
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 9: I'm afraid. I'm afraid.

232
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 8: It was like this once before, when I came to

233
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,320
get my family, Paul. We were turned in in by

234
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,039
someone who pretended to be a friend.

235
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 5: Do you believe?

236
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 9: I don't know. I don't know what to believe.

237
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:25,559
Speaker 12: I'll answer it, Helderman. Yeah, we have business with you.

238
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:31,519
I mean, this is my wife and my nephew. Call

239
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:33,480
healthphond you nephew.

240
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,039
Speaker 5: Max. Take a good look at him, would you say?

241
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,639
Looks as if he's to be trusted. I never truch

242
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,080
the man who looks so innocent.

243
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 9: What are you talking about? Who are you?

244
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 5: Do not be so suspicious. We are from hans Bock.

245
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:49,279
We're members of the underground, and that ground.

246
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,879
Speaker 7: I was not conscious there was an underground in the Netherlands.

247
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,519
Speaker 13: What do you want with us? You're being very careful.

248
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,559
I can see that, Alderman, and that's good. Perhaps this

249
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,200
will prove who we are. Would you not say? That

250
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,519
is hairbox own signature?

251
00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:12,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, that is He's all right, I know it well convinced.

252
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 5: Now read it aloud, Oka bron Let me read it.

253
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,759
Speaker 7: Poor every reason to distrust man you sent me today?

254
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:24,639
Show proof who he is, or turn him over to

255
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,240
these men for underground execution.

256
00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 5: But this is ridiculous. I do not understand. Or hair

257
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,039
Box seemed to trust me well enough this afternoon.

258
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,679
Speaker 7: And have here was a German spy, a traitor, a

259
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,440
mid he is I do not believe that, not Paul.

260
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,639
Speaker 5: He is not the spy, not for the Germans.

261
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 7: You want proof, I will give you proof.

262
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,919
Speaker 14: See here in the vine set of it. This is

263
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:53,919
his short wave radio. He was going to send the

264
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,519
message tonight. He is a friend. Here is an ally.

265
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:02,120
He's a member of the American oass. Don't you believe me?

266
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 15: M mm hmmm, that is the matter. We relieve you

267
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:12,960
well enough. Thank you for giving us proof of what

268
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:13,720
we suspected.

269
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,279
Speaker 5: What's this?

270
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,519
Speaker 2: Shall I shut my bad Take a good look.

271
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: Sculling cossbones.

272
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 13: We've been trailing her bok, but we had no definite

273
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,599
proof that he was connected with the underground. We only suspected.

274
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,160
And today we saw him meet your nephew here on

275
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:32,359
the North Sea dykes.

276
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 5: Where did you fit?

277
00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 14: Until thinking?

278
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 13: But if we arrested them then and there we might

279
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:38,559
get nothing from them. So we waited. We arrested her book,

280
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,799
and we found a paper with his signature on it.

281
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 9: That note you showed us what was forged.

282
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:46,559
Speaker 5: Quite right, note was forged.

283
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: No longer I have made my way to the kitchen door.

284
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 13: You have killed him right again? And then around yours

285
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:00,960
to your husband for supplying, and upstairs, let's get.

286
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 5: Happy here, all right? Right? What I haven't no worse

287
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,480
than you?

288
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: In a flood of memory, it came back chamber of horrors,

289
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,279
and hours drive from Washington, my mouth was dry as ashes,

290
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,799
and the palms of my hands were ringing wet. Along

291
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,319
the dark hole, I revolver drawn everything I had been

292
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,960
taught led up to this, this momentary.

293
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 6: Have you covered from both sides? Drop your gun? Will fire, fire,

294
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,960
fire again into the darkness. This time, there was no

295
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,599
instructor to say good work, Paul. There was just a

296
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:33,880
gun in my back and the leader of the Gestapo

297
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,440
to say.

298
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 16: You are on the race, Lieutenant Hall, how long do

299
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:45,759
you think you can hold out?

300
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 13: We have ways of making you talk. No, no, must

301
00:18:50,720 --> 00:19:01,400
reconvince you more. Sergeants come, yeah, well, perhaps really have better?

302
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,839
Lucky we question your aunt so I don't get killed

303
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,559
and bring her here.

304
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:07,599
Speaker 5: No, no, no, don't do that letter alone.

305
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 13: Simply because you requested, Sergeant, do as I say.

306
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 5: You'll see how long she holds out. She is absolute.

307
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 13: We'll have a shot and you will be a witness.

308
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,359
This amusing.

309
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: I know when I'm beaten. Don't bother the old lady.

310
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,960
You're the old man either.

311
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 5: What are you saying?

312
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 17: Well?

313
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,839
Speaker 5: I thought I could hold out. I can see now

314
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,559
there's no point in holding out. You won. What more

315
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:38,279
is there to say?

316
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,759
Speaker 4: If you're just starling for time, not stalling hair, Commander,

317
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,240
I'll prove it. I'll confess everything, tell you everything you

318
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:50,799
want to know. Wow, you are becoming smart, and so

319
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,480
I told them everything they wanted to know. General Donovan

320
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:58,359
HiT's the OSS in Washington. The OSS is part of

321
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,559
the American State Department. The Minister of Finance in Britain

322
00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:04,559
is also head of the British Secret Intelligence.

323
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Lieutenant Harfund, we're listening, Corpora, take this down.

324
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: I gave them a mixture of fact and fantasy that

325
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,119
would have done the German propaganda ministry pride. The true

326
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,640
facts I told them Mine knew they already knew the rest.

327
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,039
They seem to accept the face value, and so I

328
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,799
kept my story with a real whapper. You taking all

329
00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:33,240
this down, Corporal, We'll take this down with a red pencil.

330
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:36,319
An invasion of North Holland is part of the Allied plan.

331
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,519
What the invasion will be made in the eastern area

332
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:40,599
of Friesland on the Dutch North Sea coast.

333
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:45,799
Speaker 13: You are lying to us, We'll see if you know

334
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:51,240
you're beaten, perhaps have been on the wrong side. Lieutenant

335
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:57,400
hart Fund, you've that up radio. I think you ought

336
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,240
to use it tonight.

337
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 4: Time is now twenty three hundred, twenty three hundred. Paul

338
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Hall Fan calling headquarters. Can you hear me over?

339
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: OSS?

340
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 11: Headquarters to Paul Halfon, you're coming in clear.

341
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:22,279
Speaker 17: I've been waiting for your message, Paul, good to hear

342
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:22,759
your voice.

343
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: Why don't you say there's a gun in your back?

344
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:27,000
I could see it's going to take a lot to

345
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
convince you. Paul hall Fon the headquarters, listen, listen carefully.

346
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,079
It's stinking weather for a drop, but I've got to

347
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,599
have supplies. It's darned important.

348
00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 5: Over headquarters to.

349
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,559
Speaker 4: Halfan, would you mind repeating that so we're sure?

350
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:45,039
Speaker 1: Repeat?

351
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 7: Please?

352
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 12: Over?

353
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: What the bevil's the matter? You said you were getting

354
00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:52,119
don good reception. I said, the weather's lousy, but it's

355
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,880
darned important that I get a supply drop at designated

356
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,200
point tomorrow night.

357
00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 5: Can't make it any darn clearer than that. Over, Okay, okay, Paul,

358
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,279
we get it.

359
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: It's done.

360
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 17: Clear, Now you'll get your supply drop.

361
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,599
Speaker 8: Good night, over and out.

362
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 4: You heard it yourself, The drop will be made. Are

363
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:18,200
you beginning to be convinced of my sincerity?

364
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 5: Were you nervous? Lieutenant? Why do you say that?

365
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 13: I never heard you use such language before.

366
00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:28,839
Speaker 5: Oh?

367
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:32,599
Speaker 4: I expect to get over my nervousness after I've broadcast

368
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:39,319
many of these radio messages for you, Commander Brandt. After

369
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,359
that they drove me back to the jail. Commander Brandt

370
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,599
of the Gestapo had never heard me use such language before,

371
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,160
and neither had oss headquarters in the Army. They used

372
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,279
to make fun of me because of my proper speech.

373
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,079
I gambled on the chance that the radio operator who

374
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,799
knew me would detect something odd about my speech. When

375
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,599
he answered back the same way, I knew he understood

376
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:05,920
I was a prisoner of the Germans and that the

377
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:11,440
supply drop would probably save my neck. I didn't sleep

378
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,799
that night, and I didn't really take a deep breath

379
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,400
until eleven o'clock the next morning.

380
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:22,759
Speaker 13: Good Morgan, looking, would you care perhaps for the piece

381
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:25,759
of chocolate an American cigarette?

382
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 4: I knew the drop had been successful. They sent us

383
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,039
home Uncle Brahm, ant Hilda and me, but we brought

384
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:45,000
a border with us, in the person of Commander Brandt.

385
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:51,240
Mouse was different now. Aunt Hilda prepared meals silently. Uncle

386
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,720
Bram smoked his pipe and looked at me wondering. And

387
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:57,440
twice a week they sat in the living room and

388
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,160
watched and listened as Commander brand and iact. It always has.

389
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: Headquarters Ohs as headquarters to Paul Alvin.

390
00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 5: This is important.

391
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 10: Four and twenty blackbirds are coming through the rye storm

392
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,279
clouds overhead.

393
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,759
Speaker 5: Take in your washing.

394
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: Good night, horn out.

395
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:21,799
Speaker 5: What did that mean?

396
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,519
Speaker 4: Fifteen thousand more Allied troops are added to preparations for

397
00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:28,759
the invasion of Holland, and we will.

398
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 13: Rush twenty thousand more German troops to the Dutch North

399
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:32,440
Sea coast.

400
00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 5: Already we have forty thousand troops waiting there.

401
00:24:35,559 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 13: We were going to send them to elsewhere, but they

402
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,240
would undoubtedly be a more use here.

403
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:47,839
Speaker 5: Undoubtedly. Yeah. Up to bed now, dog shit.

404
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 13: The dinner was very good, Brokerman, I.

405
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 9: Cannot help being a good cook.

406
00:24:53,680 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 18: Yes, it's thoughtful of him to leave us alone so much.

407
00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:09,839
Speaker 9: Is it? I do not care much for your company.

408
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 5: Maybe he's got his reasons.

409
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,519
Speaker 4: I wanted to tell them my reasons, but I didn't dare. Instead,

410
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000
I stood at the piano and played the scale with

411
00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:24,519
one finger. Even Uncle Bram was getting to the point

412
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,240
where he couldn't look me straight in the eye. But

413
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:31,319
as Uncle Bram became more suspicious, Commander Brandt became less suspicious.

414
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,599
Speaker 9: I think I will go up to bed too.

415
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 4: Something was wrong with the piano. The sea was sharp,

416
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,000
as if something were pressing on it, making it sharp.

417
00:25:44,759 --> 00:25:46,960
I walked around at the back of the Baby Grand

418
00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:51,759
and I saw it. It was a small round disc

419
00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:54,319
the size of an overcoat button. I knew it was

420
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,880
attached to a dictophone in Branch's room. That was why

421
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,359
he left us alone so much. I'd give him something

422
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,160
to listen to.

423
00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 7: For I know there must be some explanations for these

424
00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:06,880
things you're doing now.

425
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,279
Speaker 4: Look, you haven't had it so good for years. Eggs

426
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,480
on the table? When did you have eggs on the table?

427
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:17,000
Last privileges? Nobody else has extra ration books. You might

428
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,720
as well face it. This is a new order, Germany's order,

429
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,200
and if you're smart like I am, you'll fall in

430
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:22,559
with them.

431
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 5: Paul, Is this you?

432
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 8: I told you he was a traitor, a spy. I

433
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:41,119
warned you.

434
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 4: You wanted to see me here, Commander Yeah, or thank

435
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,279
you for coming to my office so promptly at my

436
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:51,640
corn I follow orders.

437
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:55,599
Speaker 13: So I'm beginning to see I sit down to them.

438
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,440
I want you to hear something.

439
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 9: I think I'll go up to be I.

440
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 4: Don't understand a dictophone, but I still don't.

441
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,319
Speaker 7: I know there must be so much explanation.

442
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 5: You haven't had it for good for years.

443
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 4: That's me exactly what's the idea of doing on the

444
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,480
table last privileges?

445
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:30,599
Speaker 5: Nobody else has explorations. You might as well face it.

446
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,920
This is a Germany have convinced me complete. You're smart

447
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,839
like I am. You're all in with them. I have

448
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,480
a proposition for you.

449
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 13: Yes, I want you to go to England for us

450
00:27:43,519 --> 00:27:45,240
actors are double agent.

451
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 5: You can be more valuable to us there.

452
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 4: Leave Holland. But don't I have great help to you here.

453
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 13: I know the risk it involves, but Germany would pay

454
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:58,680
you well after the war.

455
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 5: Over.

456
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: I thought it over and let him convince me, and

457
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,000
a few days later a German stormtrooper gave me a

458
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:14,440
personal escort to the border, and I made my way

459
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,680
back from the enemy lines. After I left, my aunt

460
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,440
and uncle escaped and were hidden by the underground, and

461
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,480
it wasn't until the war was over that I was

462
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:26,279
able to see.

463
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 5: Them and explain.

464
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: Lieutenant Paul Halfan returned to OSS headquarters, and thousands of

465
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,559
Nazi troops waited on the shore of the North Sea

466
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,200
for an invasion that never came. Thus, once again, the

467
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,640
report of another OSS agent closed with the words mission accomplished.

468
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,440
Listen again next week for another true adventure from the

469
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,079

00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:27,279
Bant by Barry Kroger, the Colonel by Raymond Edward Johnson.

473

Speaker 5: Others were Carl.

Speaker 17: Weber, Jerry Jarrett, Arnold Robertson and Bob Wilde. The script

475
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,119

477
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,200

Stay tuned now for High Adventure and The Big Guy

489
00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:16,559
on NBC.

490
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Between last week's show and this week's it

491
00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:33,799
seems like they were trying to boost the star power

492
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,720
of Cloak and Dagger. In the previous episodes, you essentially

493
00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:43,119
were hearing those sort of New York character actors who

494
00:30:43,119 --> 00:30:47,960
were primarily just the workaday actors. Even though Larry Hayes

495
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:51,079
had a few detective series to his name over the years,

496
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,039
he was much more of a character actor here. Of course,

497
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,920
Les Tremayne, who had starred in The Thin Man and

498
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,279
had spent two season since prior to this in the

499
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:05,799
Adventures of the Falcon and came to prominence as the

500
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,640
lead in the First Night Or Program as well as

501
00:31:09,839 --> 00:31:14,960
having his own variety program with Jackie Gleason. And unless

502
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:17,880
Tremaine turns in the very good performance that you can

503
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,720
always expect of him, now, this story and it's ending

504
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,599
is really something that you can only accept from a

505
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,839
sort of based on a true story series, because your

506
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,400
big dramatic movie does not end with the bad guys

507
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,640
foolishly believing your hero has gone over to the other side.

508
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:43,319
But that could totally happen in war. What this episode

509
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,960
illustrates is one of the great dangers of being part

510
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:54,599
of one of these fanatical states. You cannot afford to

511
00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:59,799
believe your own propaganda if you are in a position

512
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,559
of real life responsibility. But really, what the lieutenant was doing,

513
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:11,480
it meant the ideals of the German propaganda. That's what

514
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,559
made it so easy to buy, despite the fact it

515
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:18,839
not make him much sense. I mean, if they tortured

516
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,599
him more, they might have believed that they broke him,

517
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,240
but in this case they just became victims of their

518
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:30,359
own propaganda. Listener comments and feedback now, and we start

519
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,119
on Facebook, where emn't wrights Regarding the episode the Trap,

520
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:38,519
that's the first Kloackendagger episode that didn't have me on

521
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:41,000
the edge of my chair. There seemed to be an

522
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:44,119
effort to lighten this one, and the subject didn't lend

523
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,799
itself to lightning up. But it had enough surprises, so

524
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,680
on balance, I still think it's a terrific choice for

525
00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:54,240
the Great Adventurers. Well, thank so much, Hamant. I do

526
00:32:54,519 --> 00:32:59,559
think that there was a method in the Golden Age

527
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:03,680
of eight where they tended to try to balance the

528
00:33:03,759 --> 00:33:08,240
heavier episodes with lighter episodes. But you're right, it's not

529
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:14,839
quite in keeping with the spirit of Kloagndagger to have

530
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,200
like lighthearted moments from the OSS. I do think last

531
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,359
week's episode was probably a bit more successful at that.

532
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:30,319
Over on Spotify, n Wing roates Irwin Haysen was the

533
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,480
creator of the Golden Age Green lantern in Dondee, not

534
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,119
that it was him or they used his name. Not

535
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,279
sure if it was him, or they used his name

536
00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:44,119
because he was well known in the army. Well, I

537
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:49,359
don't believe it's him, because the story of Hayston's service

538
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:55,480
in the military was that he was stationed at Fort

539
00:33:55,599 --> 00:34:00,440
Dix and manage the Fort Dix Post News paper, and

540
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,960
in the course of doing that he wound up in

541
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,960
the hospital through overwork. But he said that was the

542
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,519
proudest time in his career, So it doesn't seem like

543
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:18,039
him being in the OSS would be possible. But his

544
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:22,400
comic strip work might have inspired some of the choices

545
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:26,480
and mechanics sixty six simply wrote good one. Well, thank

546
00:34:26,519 --> 00:34:31,039
you so much, appreciate the comments. And now it's time

547
00:34:31,079 --> 00:34:33,960
