00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Great Adventurers of Old Time Radio from Boise, Idaho.

2
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:15,000

00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:19,640

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,160
But first, I do want to encourage you, if you're

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,159
This is our listener support and appreciation campaign, and I

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:45,200
truly appreciate everyone who supports the program and all the

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,240
things that we do here. Of course, Great Adventurers is

11
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:53,159
relatively new, but we've got more exciting things planning, and

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,240
we'll talk about some of our immediate plans after the episode.

13
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:02,679
But now, from July ninth, nineteen fifty, here is the trap.

14
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: Are you willing to undertake a dangerous mission behind the

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,120
enemy lines knowing you may never return alive.

16
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: What you have just heard is the question asked during

17
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:26,159
the war to agents of the OSS. Ordinary citizens who

18
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,079
do this question answered yes.

19
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,719
Speaker 2: This is Cloak and Dagger.

20
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: Black warfare, espionage, international intrigue. These are the weapons of

21
00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:01,359
the OSS. Today's story The trap about an OSS agent

22
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:04,640
who prevented an American advance onto German soil from turning

23
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,000
into a massacre is suggested by actual incidents recorded in

24
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:13,039
the Washington files of the Office of Strategic Services, a

25
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:17,000
story that can now be told.

26
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:25,439
Speaker 4: Did you ever notice the name Erwin signed in a

27
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:28,439
fancy flourish on the covers of those kid comic books

28
00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:32,639
you know all about moonmen chasing the earthmen into the stratosphere.

29
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:36,719
Well that's me Irwin Hazen. I'm a little guy about

30
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:40,520
five foot four. Before the war, I loved flashy ties

31
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,280
and babies, girl babies, about twenty one. So what was

32
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Erwin doing being an OSS spy and a German held

33
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,840
town in France after D Day? Listen, my children, and

34
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:58,240
you shall hear Sergeant Irwin Haysen reporting, sir, here are

35
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,319
those overlay maps you requested, Colonel.

36
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,879
Speaker 2: Good Good, fast works hunt.

37
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.

38
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: I'll look them over now. In the meantime, I want

39
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,360
you to do something for me. Yes, sir, I've just

40
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,520
had word that one of our agents, Lieutenant Miller, who

41
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,919
was sent ahead and the Royere for Advanced Reconnaissance, has returned.

42
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,319
Speaker 4: Lieutenant Miller, Yes, sir, I know him.

43
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: He's in that tavern about a mile from the headquarters,

44
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,840
getting very drunk. I can't understand. It doesn't sound like Miller. No, sir,

45
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,960
you should have reported immediately. I want you to go

46
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:42,400
down and bring him back to headquarters. Yes, colonel, right away, sir. Oh, hayzen,

47
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,919
I saw that cartoon you submitted to Yank. Oh they're

48
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:56,840
good good. Not very flattering of me, though.

49
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: No, sir, I'll love I'll get Lieutenant Miller for you. Colonel, sir.

50
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,919
Not all of the twelve thousand people working with the

51
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,159
OSS parachuted blind into enemy territory. Some of them stayed

52
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:18,519
in Washington making up secret codes. Some of them, like me,

53
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:22,079
sat behind a desk in France and drew maps. But

54
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,920
I was through sitting behind a desk. The minute I

55
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:30,800
walked into that tavern, Lieutenant Miller was slumped over the bar,

56
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,959
swaying back and forth, and he looked very drunk. Hey, lieutenant,

57
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,399
what's with you? Colonel wants you to report the headquarters

58
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:40,879
right away.

59
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 5: Oh that's you Erman.

60
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: Oh you get your ear chewed off of this? What's

61
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,560
the idea? Couldn't this wait till later?

62
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,639
Speaker 3: I couldn't wait he didn't make it otherwise, I get

63
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,519
to the colonel, say.

64
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,399
Speaker 4: Bartender, how many has he had?

65
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: Only two?

66
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,079
Speaker 4: One?

67
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:01,319
Speaker 6: Oh?

68
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tell colonel couldn't make it otherwise. Then you came,

69
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,639
I can't make it now? Maybe what are you talking about?

70
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:20,439
Tell Colonel bir heavily fortified. One We thought I saw

71
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:25,079
myself eighty pieces of one hundred and five millimeters artillery

72
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,759
behind the lines.

73
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,759
Speaker 2: Germans are digging in.

74
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,079
Speaker 4: Well, come on back and telling me yourself. Hey, couldn't

75
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:34,160
you have celebrated later?

76
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: Made it this far?

77
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,879
Speaker 3: Needed a drink the regular all the way. Tell colonel

78
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,920
we're heavenly fortified, heavily.

79
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:56,079
Speaker 4: Miller, the lieutenant he is puss out. The lieutenant he

80
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:06,360
is dead. You see, Miller had been slumped over the bar.

81
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:09,040
Colonels I couldn't see those bullet wounds in his chest

82
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:09,959
until he fell over.

83
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: Germs must have caught on to him and given him

84
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,720
a chase. So wonder he got as far as he did. Sergeant,

85
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,600
you're sure about everything you told you, yes, sir, But

86
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,399
we were positive the Germans didn't have that much artillery

87
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:31,000
on the Seventh Army Front. If this is true, and

88
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:33,040
we had walked in not knowing him over the head

89
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,160
ah Man would have been massive. Thank you, Sergeant. You

90
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,480
may go now, Colonel.

91
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,879
Speaker 4: If you're going to send another agent into that territory

92
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,319
to get a more complete picture of what's going on,

93
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,959
I'd like to volunteer.

94
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: And a mission like this cause for an agent who's

95
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,160
had experience along here.

96
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know, but you see, Lieutenant Miller was

97
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,759
a friend of mine. Besides, I'm sick of spending the

98
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:01,040
war behind a drawing Boardgeant. Look, I can do it, Colonel.

99
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,959
I can speak French fluently, and I'll do more than

100
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,199
just look around and come back. I'll come back with

101
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,920
sketches and maps and diagrams everything you want to know. Look, Colonel,

102
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:14,079
the next time I send a cartoon to Yank, I'll

103
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:18,160
I'll make a very flattering one of you. Please, Colonel,

104
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,759
what do you say? The OSS placed me in the

105
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,279
custody of a French priest who had sneaked through the

106
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,240
lines from Briere to tell the Americans about underground activity there.

107
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,240
A few days later, the priest and I were on

108
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:42,040
the road thirty miles away from the American held town,

109
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:46,279
walking smack into enemy territory. The priest was in full

110
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,639
clerical garb me. I was dressed like a French peasant, and.

111
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 6: The German stupish me. Son it me do the talking.

112
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:56,639
Speaker 4: Well, I hope we get away with it.

113
00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 6: You're not ary out of necessity. I have become a

114
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,079
debt at making up very convincing lie.

115
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:06,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, but do you think that Germans don't believe this

116
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,839
phonny story?

117
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,759
Speaker 6: What the reason will they have to disbelieve it? Besides

118
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,720
I am well known and respected in town. These Germans

119
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:21,160
have in of trouble now without staring at the antagonism

120
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:25,240
of the people by disciplining me for so small it is.

121
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,279
Speaker 5: Well.

122
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,759
Speaker 4: All I can say is I hope it works.

123
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,039
Speaker 6: We have a chance to find out. Now there's the

124
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:40,240
town ah, and there is a welcoming committee. Let me

125
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:46,720
do the talking. Say while bonjour, I am father.

126
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 7: Robert, priest of the church in this town. And this man, friend,

127
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,279
if you're from this town, what are you doing behind

128
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,360
the border? Do you have permission? Let mess your papers?

129
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: Passes?

130
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 6: Most Unfortunately I did not wait to request a pass

131
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,919
our silence. He's a harpy harm with me to the

132
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:12,840
command on some of his week.

133
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:17,279
Speaker 4: Pleasure come my friend mine as well. There's no way

134
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:18,480
back now, Father.

135
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,399
Speaker 8: You have been given too much freedom in this town.

136
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,759
Father a there, this insolence is air.

137
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:35,759
Speaker 6: It's too much with monsieur le commando, this poor lad.

138
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 9: You'll be as your name again, Francois, Francois V. Call

139
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:45,080
me by my title, Francois Here Commandan.

140
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,159
Speaker 5: I'm going with your story, father abre.

141
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: It is a sad, sad story of a dying woman

142
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:56,759
and her last wish to see her neview this lad,

143
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:02,080
last remaining member of her family, Her husband and two

144
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720
sons were killed in the early days of the war.

145
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,759
You see, I have the holy oils with me to

146
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:11,720
give this poor woman the last sacrament.

147
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 5: And why did you not ask permission to get this bar?

148
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: I was afraid, Monsieur le Commandore, that by the time

149
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:23,320
the permission was granted, it might be too late, the

150
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:26,559
woman might die, So I slipped out.

151
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 5: When did you last see your aunt John?

152
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,919
Speaker 4: Why? Over three years ago, her Commandan.

153
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 5: And this is most irregular.

154
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,919
Speaker 6: I'm surely the request of a dying woman.

155
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 5: Well, I'll let you go this time. Father over there.

156
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 9: There's enough unresting this time without starting a tempest in

157
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,440
a teapot. One more question, Yes, monsieur, if you managed

158
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,279
to slip so of the lines going out, why is

159
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,799
it you did not attempt to sneak back into town

160
00:10:57,879 --> 00:11:01,039
instead of walking boldly after the bar the line.

161
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 6: Sneak back into town, Why, Monsieur Commando, that would be

162
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,879
against regulations.

163
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 10: But I do not understand the father, Abella, how is

164
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,320
it that you did not try to sneak back in

165
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:22,879
the air?

166
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 6: Her American friend Irwin a battle rose, he can tell

167
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:29,799
you that.

168
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 4: Well, you see, Madame Jellette, this way, if the Germans

169
00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:35,360
know I'm in town and supposedly staying with an ant,

170
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120
I can move freely about without being suspected.

171
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,519
Speaker 11: Oh, I see.

172
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,399
Speaker 6: I see the time is late. I must go now,

173
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:54,039
Oh Joe, if monsieurle Commandant should inquire, I did administer

174
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,840
the last rights to you at the sight of your

175
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,799
dear nephew, brought life flowing back into your veins.

176
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 11: Of course, we do not have something to eat before

177
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,320
you go. I have not much to a.

178
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 6: Much work to do. By the way, at last meeting

179
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,399
of the underground went very well, What do you think?

180
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:21,519
Speaker 5: Well?

181
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:23,799
Speaker 11: Very well?

182
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,039
Speaker 4: Indeed, well, I can't thank you enough, father for everything

183
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:27,440
you've done.

184
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 6: Oh my PEPs, we should meet again. Who knows if not,

185
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,480
can't be with you on your mission. Thank you, father,

186
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,320
and my son. Be very careful, Monsieur le Commando is

187
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:49,519
not very bright, but unfortunately he is not a complete idiot.

188
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:57,399
Speaker 4: Why that was the last I saw, Father, Robert. It

189
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,159
happened like that all during the war. A member of

190
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,960
the underground would come along, get us over a rough spot,

191
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:06,879
and then disappear. But without all the help from all

192
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:09,320
the little people along the way, none of the work

193
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,919
of the OSS could have been done. They helped, they

194
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:13,679
wished us luck.

195
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,879
Speaker 6: They left.

196
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,519
Speaker 4: After a few days of staying with Madame Jeanette, I

197
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:24,480
almost felt that she was a relative. The old girl

198
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:29,480
practically adopted me Erwin h One King.

199
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 11: What fore, Robert tool they coming down? He does not alive?

200
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 4: Well?

201
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,279
Speaker 6: What was that?

202
00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:42,759
Speaker 11: I did lose my husband and two sons in the early.

203
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,399
Speaker 6: Days of the war.

204
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry, but.

205
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,039
Speaker 10: It has been good these last days, cooking for you,

206
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:56,799
making up another bed as if I had my family again.

207
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 11: Are you being very careful?

208
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:00,919
Speaker 1: Well?

209
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,159
Speaker 4: I mind my own business. Look around the town. All

210
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,960
I can tell Arah, just a handful occupying it. Just

211
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,039
the way headquarters, though it looks like a pushover.

212
00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 10: Perhaps it is perhaps the agent was here before he

213
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,399
was mistaken.

214
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,039
Speaker 4: Miller, the Nazis didn't pump air into him for nothing.

215
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,799
He saw something, Madame Miche d here.

216
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 11: Let me feel your play the game.

217
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,559
Speaker 4: Look what's the best way to get through the forest

218
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,879
to the river north of Brier. I'm going to take

219
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:29,679
a look around there.

220
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 10: Perhaps there may be something there. The guard is always posted.

221
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:39,639
I thought it was just to keep the townspeople from leaving.

222
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:42,720
But perhaps perhaps there's something else.

223
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: Is there a way past the guard?

224
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 12: Ah, I have lived here all my life. I know away.

225
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:55,200
I will show you, even take you partway myself.

226
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:01,559
Speaker 4: The woods began aout one hundred yards back of Madame

227
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,720
Jeanette's little house, and earlier the next morning we started

228
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,720
through them. I followed her through the thick brambles, through

229
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:11,639
the narrow paths she knew so well, through the brush

230
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:13,759
and the high grass that moved gently in the wind.

231
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:18,039
Madame Jeanette's skirt caught on the brambles, and she stopped

232
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:20,399
just long enough to rip off that part of her

233
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,720
hem and leave it behind, swaying in the wind. Then

234
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:27,320
she moved on me right behind her. Maybe this would

235
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,919
turn into a wild goose chase. But I had a

236
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,919
hunch i'd find what I came for. Then we came

237
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360
to a slight clearing. I will go.

238
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 11: Back now erin we term later the we we came.

239
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,399
Speaker 4: You remember, yes, yes, I remember.

240
00:15:44,559 --> 00:15:47,639
Speaker 11: Go now along the outskirts of this little wood. You'll

241
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,399
see a hill. From there you will have a good

242
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:53,960
view of the river and anything.

243
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: That might be there. All right, I see you later, careful,

244
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,879
careful now. A minute afterwards, who was swallowed up in

245
00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:05,279
the woods. A little while after that, I was on

246
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,519
top of that hill, flat on my stomach, under a

247
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:12,279
clump of bushes, looking down through strong binoculars. My hunter

248
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,639
was right. It was all there, and I began to

249
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:19,799
sketch it quickly but accurately. From somewhere the Nazis had

250
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:22,519
gotten reinforcements, and their high command had decided to make

251
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:25,120
a stand, dig in and hold there at the river.

252
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,080
There were heavy artillery positions all set up machine gun

253
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,240
and anti tank emplacements. There was barbed wire, lots of it.

254
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:35,399
There were anti tank obstacles and one hundred and five

255
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:38,879
millimeters artillery. Miller had seen all of it. There a

256
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:41,440
nice big booby trap all set for our men to

257
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,879
walk into. When they tried to advance north across the river.

258
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,480
I couldn't hear them, but I could see them, swarms

259
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,600
of German soldiers working hard, working fast, digging in, getting ready.

260
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,559
I took down everything I saw, and I had it complete,

261
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:58,000
except for the west bank of the river, near the bridge.

262
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:01,159
There were too many trees blocking my issue. I had

263
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:04,559
to get closer. By the time I got to the

264
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:06,839
bottom of the hill and crawled along through the brush

265
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,720
to the west bank. I didn't just see the Germans,

266
00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:10,839
I could hear them as well.

267
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:19,599
Speaker 13: Slip and lutman. See that more guards are posted at

268
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,799
the edge of the town. The commandant wants no one

269
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,240
snooping around here.

270
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,519
Speaker 2: No one got to get through.

271
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:30,319
Speaker 4: There were too many of them all around. I knew

272
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,200
it would be crazy to try to get any further

273
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,559
without a plan. I had to have time to think

274
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:38,279
about a way. I waited until they left. Then I

275
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:40,319
slipped back the way. I came up the hill and

276
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,559
through the woods to Madame Jeanette's. I went around the back,

277
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,240
so I didn't see the commandant until I walked in.

278
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:55,240
You are back, yes, I uh, Monsieur hair Commandant. I

279
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,720
have been waiting for well, is there something wrong?

280
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 11: No, no, oh, of course not once.

281
00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:05,559
Speaker 9: Well, I am here to talk with them as well

282
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:08,640
as you, m I believe Father Robert told me that

283
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,480
it's your name that is correct. It was through the

284
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,119
kindness and understanding of the German high command here that

285
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,759
you were allowed to see your sick aunt. You understand

286
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:22,319
that you're not. Oh, yes, I appreciate that it was irregular,

287
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,240
but we'll let you in. However, I am here to

288
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:28,960
tell you that you had better have no illusions about

289
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:32,680
leaving Brienn now going back to the American lines, to

290
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,559
your village there.

291
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:38,279
Speaker 4: No, no, I have no wish to leave. Why you've

292
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,960
anticipated me, her, Commandant, I was going to request permission

293
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,240
to stay here with my aunt from now on. I

294
00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:47,039
was in the square today looking for work.

295
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 9: And they are good, as long as you understand, madam,

296
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,880
if you will allow me to say.

297
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,079
Speaker 5: So, you look very well.

298
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,799
Speaker 4: Indeed, oh, she was very ill when I came.

299
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 5: Father Robert gave her last right media tirstpression. I'm not

300
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:02,880
talking to you.

301
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 10: My nephew is correct, But there are you here, Commandant.

302
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,400
I was very ill, but I'm very well now.

303
00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 9: Well, that's all I wanted, how are going out? But

304
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,240
remember you are not to live for yea.

305
00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: What the commandwan didn't know was that I had no

306
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:29,799
intention of leaving until I made the sketches of the

307
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:33,759
west bank of the river. Late that night, Madame Jeannette

308
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:36,680
helped you bury the plans and diagrams I had already grown.

309
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 11: You are right, I really do very busier by andy.

310
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Rather than leave them inside, did you say.

311
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,759
Speaker 4: Okay, that's deep enough. Now I put this rock on

312
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:54,519
top of them. There. That's done. Now you will go

313
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,960
back tomorrow. No, I've got to get a good look

314
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,960
at the west bank of the river.

315
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,839
Speaker 11: It is wise you did not try to we's further.

316
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,279
Speaker 4: Ahead the day.

317
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 11: It would have been too dangerous. I know another.

318
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 12: Way through the forest, or tell me it is a

319
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,079
roundabout we but it will bring you closer into the.

320
00:20:12,039 --> 00:20:14,839
Speaker 11: West, or close enough at least so that you will

321
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,200
have a better view than before.

322
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:17,319
Speaker 4: Ah.

323
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,559
Speaker 10: But if there are so many troops, as you said,

324
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,079
do not get too close.

325
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,519
Speaker 11: When you have finished, come back to the woods the

326
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:26,880
same way. I will be waiting.

327
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 4: I did exactly, she said, took the long way round

328
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,559
the cross little streams, watched for landmarks, dropped from high

329
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,480
rocks and landed on rough little paths that were hidden

330
00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:47,039
by the brush. I did everything she said except one thing.

331
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:49,279
I got too close.

332
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 6: Er relining those minds too far far?

333
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 13: What you're doing when these the fencers will be ready

334
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,880
for anything right now?

335
00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: I decided I better get up there. And as I started,

336
00:21:02,319 --> 00:21:03,599
a twig under me. Snap.

337
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: What was that?

338
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 14: Did you hear something in the brush? M hmm, probably

339
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:15,000
some small animal in the forest. Oh see that happened.

340
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:23,079
M there's nothing here helping make sure?

341
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,839
Speaker 13: Remember the fragment of a woman's dress we found in

342
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,960
the woods this morning.

343
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 4: I was crouched down behind a rock and the German

344
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,640
lieutenant came so close I could have reached out and

345
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,799
touched his mud kit boot. He stopped for a minute,

346
00:21:39,839 --> 00:21:41,119
and then he walked right past me.

347
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: There was nothing there. It can't be too careful. I'm

348
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,440
with you.

349
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 5: There's something I want to tell you.

350
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,519
Speaker 4: I had everything indicated on my sketches, Minefield's tank positions.

351
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,920
I knew everything about the west bank of the river.

352
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,880
I wanted to know when the coast seemed clear. I

353
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,319
started back, but I didn't get very far. Here's your answer.

354
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:07,960
In the air, I took a couple of steps and

355
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,119
then slammed myself into a shallow ditch. I remember German

356
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,920
bird guns and rifles cracking around me. A bullet went

357
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,640
through the hill of my hood and sent a shock

358
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,200
up my leg that made me wonder if it had

359
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,000
been blown off. And it was quiet, and I waited

360
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,799
for them to come and get me. It was all over.

361
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:33,240
Perhaps that will convince you we mean what we say.

362
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,440
He Look, I tell you my name is Francois Chauva.

363
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,599
You know my aunt, She's What you're doing is a river.

364
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,960
I'm new in bri I don't know the forest of

365
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,359
the woods. I was lost.

366
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:47,599
Speaker 5: Perhaps another taste of your fist.

367
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 9: Great, get them up, put them back on that chair.

368
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:57,799
Speaker 5: Now listen to me.

369
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,759
Speaker 9: Joever, whatever your name is, we found this sketch of

370
00:23:01,759 --> 00:23:03,400
the bridge at the west bank of the river in

371
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:03,839
your pocket.

372
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,599
Speaker 4: Look, I don't know, I don't know anything.

373
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,319
Speaker 5: That part of the sketch is quite complete, every detail.

374
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,240
The rest is diagrammed in lightly. There are the rest

375
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,480
of these plans, I don't know. Have you hidden them?

376
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: Where?

377
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 5: Have you given them to somebody?

378
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: Whom?

379
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 6: There are the rest of them?

380
00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:27,079
Speaker 5: Kind of antvalt eh, but not right. Twisting his arm again.

381
00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:33,039
Speaker 6: Oh ah hah, yes, fainted.

382
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 5: Have him thrown in Assel. I will question him more tomorrow.

383
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: That was the German way of questioning, beating you up,

384
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,000
twisting your arm. I was sure they had a lot

385
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:56,319
more ways of questioning, but I didn't intend to stay

386
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,039
and find out what they were. I had to figure

387
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:02,559
out a way to escape. And then I noticed it.

388
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,680
The glass of the window in front of the bars

389
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,279
had been shattered. I broke off a piece, and then

390
00:24:09,319 --> 00:24:12,759
I cut myself severely about the face. I guess it

391
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:15,400
doesn't sound pretty, and it didn't look very pretty, but

392
00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:18,640
that was the effect I wanted. I heard the guard

393
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,240
coming back quickly. I threw myself on the floor in

394
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,839
front of the door, so that when the heavy door

395
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,400
was opened, it would crash into my head.

396
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,559
Speaker 2: You come and don wants to see you.

397
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: No, what's the stars her?

398
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: If I must get her?

399
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 4: My hair was matted with blood, and my cut up

400
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,039
face looked pretty horrible. Not that the God was worried

401
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:44,000
about the state of my health. He was afraid of

402
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:45,680
what the commandant would do to him if I wasn't

403
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,079
able to be questioned. He left the cell door open

404
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,839
and ran and so did I in the other direction.

405
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:54,920
I ran up the stairs to the second floor of

406
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,960
the small town jail. The Germans had taken over down below.

407
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,640
I could hear voices, wh I didn't wait to hear anymore.

408
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,839
I slid down the sloping roof and landed right next

409
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:11,160
to a German soldier. It was a good thing. It

410
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,960
was my left arm they had twisted. I was better

411
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,480
with my right anyway. I took his gun an ammunition

412
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:19,039
belt and shot the front tires of the German cars.

413
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,200
Then I borrowed a parked motorcycle. Just as the Germans

414
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,920
were spilling out the front door. I drove off, headed

415
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:34,960
back to where I'd buried the papers. But the papers

416
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,680
were gone. Everything I had worked on so painstakingly, the maps,

417
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:45,160
the diagrams, the sketches, the plans, they were gone. Madame Jeanette,

418
00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:52,640
Maybe she had them, Madam Jeannette. Madame Jeannette opened up.

419
00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 11: Yes, what do you want?

420
00:25:56,519 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 4: What Madame Jeannette? Where is she? I've got to see her?

421
00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:03,759
Who cannot, but I've got to It's important. Look, who

422
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:05,680
are you? Where's Madame Jeanette?

423
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,559
Speaker 11: She died?

424
00:26:08,079 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: What did you say?

425
00:26:09,519 --> 00:26:10,079
Speaker 14: She died?

426
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 11: Yesterday?

427
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: Died but I do the Germans.

428
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 11: If there after you go, I want to travel.

429
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 4: Go. That motorcycle ride through enemy held territory with that

430
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,039
car full of Nazis firing at me was wilder than

431
00:26:31,039 --> 00:26:32,839
the stories in the comic books I used to draw.

432
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,880
For there was a phosphorus grenade on the ammunition belt

433
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,559
I had taken from the soldier outside the prison. I

434
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,279
took the pin with my teeth and tossed it back

435
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:44,400
over my shoulder. Through the side MIRRECTULD see the German

436
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:52,680
car slowing down. It stopped right over the grenade, and

437
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,359
a minute later there was a car full of very

438
00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:11,920
dead Nazis. Well that's all that happened, Granel. The sketches

439
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,400
are gone, but I think I can remember most of them.

440
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,839
The ones I drew last the west bank of the

441
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,000
river I know completely. For the rest, I'll do the

442
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:20,559
best I can.

443
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: Did your sketches look anything like this? Sudan?

444
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 6: What?

445
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,079
Speaker 4: But those are the sketches I don't understand.

446
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: Where did you standing? The woman?

447
00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 4: Woman? What?

448
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:35,079
Speaker 2: Woman?

449
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:42,279
Speaker 4: I don't get this, that's why. Man, Hello, madam Jeanette,

450
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:43,480
I heard you were dead?

451
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 11: Your face? What happened to your face?

452
00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 4: Never mind? Just tell me?

453
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 10: Oh, when I learned you were arrested, I dug up

454
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,720
the plan and with other ground help I got them

455
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,119
through the.

456
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:55,559
Speaker 11: Lines to deliver them for you. Just what that woman,

457
00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,119
she had her orders? She was doing as I told her.

458
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:06,759
Speaker 4: Colonel you know that tavern about a half mile from headquarters? Yes,

459
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:10,000
I well, do you mind very much if I go

460
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:12,039
there and get very drunk.

461
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: The maps, diagrams and information which Sergeant Urban Hazen provided

462
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,200
allowed the American Army to prepare a counter offensive. Three

463
00:28:28,279 --> 00:28:31,519
days later they were on German soil, and the report

464
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:34,039

474
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,359
under the direction of John Gart Today's true OSS adventure

475
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,119
was based on the book Cloaken Dagger by Corey Ford

476
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,160
and Allister McMain.

477
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,119
Speaker 2: This has been a Lewis G.

487
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:41,039
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. Really a great episode that delivered some very

488
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:44,799
tense moments that really exemplifies what makes this such a

489
00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:49,039
great adventure series. This does make me a little curious

490
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:54,079
what comic book artists secretly served in the OSS. Several

491
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:57,200
comic book artists were drafted in the war, but we

492
00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:01,880
shouldn't speculate too much that it some comic book artists

493
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,079
that were well known. There was a whole boom of

494
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:09,480
comic book artists before and during World War two and

495
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:12,160
then a bit of a bus period. All right, well,

496
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:19,039
listener comments and feedback now and a listener emails regarding

497
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:25,359
the episode direct line to bombers, and the listener writes in,

498
00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:27,759
I know it was part of the plot. I know

499
00:31:27,839 --> 00:31:29,680
it was part of the story, but I could not

500
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,599
listen to this episode after they murdered the dog. Yes,

501
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,640
I know in the story they didn't have much of

502
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,640
a choice, but I'm a firm believer and you can

503
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,599
tell a decent story without hurting animals. Thank you so

504
00:31:42,759 --> 00:31:45,200
much for the email. I'd be lying if I said

505
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,359
I was a fan of that decision. I do understand it.

506
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:55,480
Cloakindagger is one of the most gritty old time radio

507
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:01,160
programs you'll find, and it's unsparing in its portrayal of

508
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:05,880
how the war went and what was done in the

509
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,680
course of fighting. This is one case where I kind

510
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,640
of wish that they had been a bit more restrained,

511
00:32:15,119 --> 00:32:19,319
but I do understand why they showed it, and in

512
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:24,359
many ways it can be helpful to us to understand

513
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,839
what war demands of those who are conducting it, and

514
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,599
while it shouldn't necessarily turn us into pacifest, it should

515
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:41,559
make us properly cautious about the price that is so

516
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,960
often paid in war and help us not to be

517
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:50,480
cavalier about entering that state. But I'd definitely hear your concern.

518
00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:52,759
Thank you for the email. Now, I do want to

519
00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:55,240
talk about some of what you're going to hear on

520
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:58,680
Saturdays on The Great Adventurers. We are going to be

521
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:04,160
in Cloagndagger if my calculations are correct, right up until

522
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,000
the podcast takes its Christmas break. Then we will have

523
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:16,720
some OSS related specials, including at least one of the encores,

524
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,119
and then we will be getting in to Counterspy, which

525
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,279
should be the series that we are focused on for

526
00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:27,400
I think close to two years. There are also a

527
00:33:27,559 --> 00:33:32,279
couple of additional adventure series that I have designated as

528
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:37,079
things that we will do eventually. These include The Whisperer

529
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:42,039
and The Adventures of Clyde Beatty. Again, these will be

530
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:46,000
some years down the line, but I'm continuing to research

531
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:49,519
these series and pick out programs that I think folks

532
00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:53,400
are going to enjoy. All right, Well, now it's time

533
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,720
to think our Patreon supporter of the day, and I

534
00:33:56,799 --> 00:34:00,480
