Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: From June twenty fifth, nineteen fifty, here is direct line
Speaker 1: to bombers.
Speaker 3: Are you willing to undertake a dangerous mission behind the
Speaker 3: enemy lines knowing you may never return alive?
Speaker 4: What you have just heard is the question asked during
Speaker 4: the war to agents of the OSS. Ordinary citizens to
Speaker 4: this question answered yes, this is Cloak and Dagger, the
Speaker 4: black warfare, espionage, international intrigue. These are the weapons of
Speaker 4: the OSS. Today's adventure direct line to bombers. The story
Speaker 4: of an American OSS agent who, during the height of
Speaker 4: the war, directed from the streets of Berlin an American
Speaker 4: attack is suggested by actual incidents recorded in the Washington
Speaker 4: files of the Office of Strategic Services, a story that
Speaker 4: can now be told.
Speaker 5: After you get back from a mission, you sit around
Speaker 5: and there's nothing to do but sit around.
Speaker 6: So that's what I did. I sat in a room
Speaker 6: in Milton Hall and England, where OSS agents had trained.
Speaker 6: I thought about the restaurant on sixth Avenue I wanted
Speaker 6: to open after the war.
Speaker 2: It was never su bored in my life.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, Nikki, the colonel wants to see it.
Speaker 3: Very important.
Speaker 2: Okay, Pal tell my colonel I'll be there and win
Speaker 2: the war for him.
Speaker 7: That that.
Speaker 6: Was how it all began, November nineteen forty four. After that,
Speaker 6: I didn't have time to be bored.
Speaker 3: I know, you've just come back from a mission in France, Lieutenant,
Speaker 3: So it's strictly up to you if you want to
Speaker 3: go out again immediately.
Speaker 6: Oh now, listen, I mean, Colonel, if I have to
Speaker 6: sit around here and do nothing, I'll blow my tongue.
Speaker 3: You speak German?
Speaker 6: Don't you well enough to know that Hitler speaks a
Speaker 6: lousy German full of grammatical errors.
Speaker 2: If I see him, I'll tell him.
Speaker 3: You may be closer to him than you think, Barbara, Yes, Colonel,
Speaker 3: send in Professor Warburg.
Speaker 2: That's how I met the professor, This little guy with
Speaker 2: a beard.
Speaker 6: He weighed about as much as ten cents worth of liver,
Speaker 6: and he reminded me of my chemistry teacher back in
Speaker 6: Lincoln Junior High School.
Speaker 3: Professor, tell Lieutenant or Lessen, of course, just what you
Speaker 3: told me.
Speaker 7: It's the greatest of pleasure, Colonel. Lieutenant.
Speaker 8: I am an escaped political prisoner of the Nazis, and
Speaker 8: I am here in England illegally.
Speaker 2: And you just walked into headquarters and told that to
Speaker 2: the Colonel. Do you know you can be in turned?
Speaker 7: I know that very well. But I can no longer
Speaker 7: sit by and be idle while I have a plan
Speaker 7: that I know can help the Allies.
Speaker 3: What Professor Warburt suggests lieutenant, is that he be parachuted
Speaker 3: into Germany with another agent make his way to Berlin.
Speaker 7: I assure you I can move about Berlin blindfolded.
Speaker 2: I know it well, Berlin. This could be interesting. What then, with.
Speaker 8: A radio transmitter, we could pinpoint military targets to American
Speaker 8: planes overhead. We could direct bombs from the streets of
Speaker 8: Berlin itself.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, walk around with a walkie, talking in
Speaker 6: the middle of a raid, carrying on conversation with bombers.
Speaker 2: When do we leave?
Speaker 7: I am ready any time today, tomorrow, yesterday.
Speaker 2: Professor may have been ready yesterday, but the oss wasn't.
Speaker 6: First we were briefed for weeks, how to get food
Speaker 6: coupons in Berlin, how to buy a railroad ticket, how
Speaker 6: to post a letter, how to greet a German officer
Speaker 6: on the street. Little things an American cigarette, an English match,
Speaker 6: a laundry mark could give us away. And there were
Speaker 6: big things too. We were grilled for hours on cover stories.
Speaker 6: Forgeries became documents, fiction became fat passes, stamps, signatures, everything authentic,
Speaker 6: everything ere SUTs, including my manners and habits.
Speaker 2: So I was ready to pass as a citizen.
Speaker 6: In Berlin, and then a plane took us high over
Speaker 6: German soil and we jumped.
Speaker 7: They made it nikki yah.
Speaker 2: So if you kill me this to Berlin, we can
Speaker 2: walk it. Make it before daylight.
Speaker 8: They should find the farmer who owns this field and say,
Speaker 8: don gashan for providing us.
Speaker 7: It's so ideal a landing place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll send them a letter sometime. Right now, let's
Speaker 2: get out of here. W wait where you are.
Speaker 9: Kindly keep your hands to the air unless you want
Speaker 9: and I blow your heads off or let my dog
Speaker 9: tell you.
Speaker 10: To a bit.
Speaker 9: Well, we're in a good dog keeping so steel as
Speaker 9: your farmer professor, you still want to say, donkey show
Speaker 9: still to you.
Speaker 7: You have made the mistake.
Speaker 8: My friend, my companion and I got lost trying to
Speaker 8: find the road.
Speaker 7: We came by accident on your field.
Speaker 6: That's right, well, both of us only recently discharged from
Speaker 6: the army. If you would care to see our papers
Speaker 6: right here in his knapsack, if you don't kick.
Speaker 9: Your hands up and we'll let your dog go for
Speaker 9: your throat. I do not care to see your papers.
Speaker 9: I saw you parachute. I'm an American. Play oh, walk
Speaker 9: now to the barn. R we'll see to it that
Speaker 9: you stay there, won't you roll?
Speaker 6: The German farmer left us in the barn, and he
Speaker 6: didn't have to lock the door. That big black doberman
Speaker 6: with the impatient fangs watched us as if we wanted us.
Speaker 2: To make a move so we could jump. Oh.
Speaker 8: If we get out of this, my friend, I shall
Speaker 8: never again be a dog lover.
Speaker 2: Professor, don't move, don't turn your head. Just listen to me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm listening.
Speaker 2: There's some harness straps hanging on a hook right over
Speaker 2: my head.
Speaker 6: I noticed them when I came in. If I can
Speaker 6: pull them down fast enough, i'll throw them over the
Speaker 6: dog when he leaps. Try to untang it. Yeah, but
Speaker 6: horse blankets near you. When I pull down the straps,
Speaker 6: throw the blanket over him. It's got to be fast, better.
Speaker 2: Work, and I'm ready on three. Then one nice boy,
Speaker 2: nice nice, big ugly mud to hurry. The harness caught
Speaker 2: on the nails.
Speaker 11: I tried to pull it down. The dog leaped my
Speaker 11: neck and then the nail came off too. The straps
Speaker 11: fell across the dog's snout. Professor flung the blankets over
Speaker 11: the dog's head. I have him, Nikki, but I can't hold.
Speaker 2: Him the shovel. Where's that shovel? I saw?
Speaker 7: Hurry, honey, I can't hold him now.
Speaker 3: I hid my.
Speaker 6: Again, And then suddenly the only sound in the barn
Speaker 6: was the dolls of the show.
Speaker 2: The dog didn't move make a sound. You never would care.
Speaker 7: We had better get out now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go on.
Speaker 10: Ah.
Speaker 7: The smell of the bakery is always good.
Speaker 10: How fortunate it is.
Speaker 12: I have only this morning made pepper cook yusef just
Speaker 12: be always liked it.
Speaker 8: How good to see you again, Anna. I told my
Speaker 8: friend Nikki that you would take us in, help us.
Speaker 12: Not dearly Nikki, I will do anything I care.
Speaker 8: We may stay here then, Anna, if all goes well,
Speaker 8: we willieve right after the rain tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty four hours all we need.
Speaker 10: Of course, you missed. I still live about the bakery.
Speaker 10: There is an extra room.
Speaker 12: My grandson Emil will not be home from the youth
Speaker 12: camp for a week.
Speaker 2: Youth care.
Speaker 10: What could I do, Niki? What could anyone do in
Speaker 10: these days in Berlin?
Speaker 12: But right with the wind until there is a chance
Speaker 12: to fight against it.
Speaker 10: Helping you and your mission will give me my chance.
Speaker 8: Little Emil eight years ago seemed like only yesterday. I
Speaker 8: used to sit with him on my lap here in
Speaker 8: this bakery and twirl my gold watch on the chain
Speaker 8: for him.
Speaker 7: Now, remember Anna, how he laughed?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I remember. He has forgotten you by now, and
Speaker 10: you would not know him. He's thirteen years old.
Speaker 7: Thirteen years old.
Speaker 10: Already they have poisoned his mind. I cannot get to him.
Speaker 13: I do not dare.
Speaker 12: He is a little parrot, speaking only what is taught him.
Speaker 10: Nikki.
Speaker 2: Some more coffee, No, thank you? Fraud like that?
Speaker 10: More cool or a first? Especially of my shop up
Speaker 10: push through.
Speaker 8: Six years ago at this very table, I had Emila
Speaker 8: on my lap when the Gestapo walked in and arrested me.
Speaker 7: They did not like what I taught in their school.
Speaker 2: Someone's coming.
Speaker 10: I don't know who.
Speaker 7: It can be.
Speaker 12: Customers never come by this late grandmother, surprise, I'm home, Amyl.
Speaker 13: What this man?
Speaker 10: Emil? Your manners?
Speaker 12: These are friends just passing through Berlin.
Speaker 10: They just think the night this is Hernid? Can her use.
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yes, of course, Hitler.
Speaker 10: I did not expect you until next week. Came here?
Speaker 10: How is it you are here so early?
Speaker 13: I want to create honor, which I want to tell
Speaker 13: you about. I did not know I'd have to shell
Speaker 13: to a stranger.
Speaker 10: Shame Amy. These men were soldiers of the fatherland.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, I mean we were both with the elite
Speaker 6: god of one of Rammel's Panza division.
Speaker 7: Yes, that is before we received our medical discharges.
Speaker 12: Ram will sit down, my boy. I will bring you
Speaker 12: something to eat.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Don't you want to hear about the anna you received?
Speaker 13: Look mad on my.
Speaker 10: Sleeve red swastik.
Speaker 14: Yeah, read for the youth movement and a swastika. Because
Speaker 14: I learned my lessons faster than the others. The commanded
Speaker 14: chief of the whole youth movement awarded me my swastika,
Speaker 14: and he told me I could take my vacation a
Speaker 14: week early.
Speaker 13: Are you proud of me?
Speaker 10: Grandmother?
Speaker 12: Yeah, my boy, Yeah, let me get you something to eat.
Speaker 7: Nine nine and I'm too tired going up to bed.
Speaker 13: Grandmother said you were staying here? Will I see you
Speaker 13: in the morning.
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, Well, I'm not sure.
Speaker 12: Oh, they will be here now that you are homey
Speaker 12: mil I will sleep on the couch and give them
Speaker 12: my room.
Speaker 10: Oh, it is all right.
Speaker 7: It is that good.
Speaker 13: Perhaps then, hey yourself, you will tell me about Rahma
Speaker 13: a great leader.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, perhaps we will see you in the morning. Emil,
Speaker 7: Why do you stare at me? Do I stare?
Speaker 13: Boy? I thought so? Have I met you before her yours?
Speaker 7: No, I am sure, not your.
Speaker 13: Face ever since I came in grandmother. Have I met
Speaker 13: him here before?
Speaker 10: No? No, Emil, her Yoseph was here before you were born.
Speaker 10: Even you have never seen him. It has been years, fifteen,
Speaker 10: maybe before you were born.
Speaker 13: I suppose so.
Speaker 2: Well, good night, Professor. He wouldn't remember.
Speaker 10: Oh how good he Nikki. He was a baby that
Speaker 10: last day.
Speaker 12: Joseph saw him, barely five years old, and the Professor
Speaker 12: was thirty pounds heavy at least, and clean shape.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, ah nah is right, and do not worry.
Speaker 7: He could not remen that. Do not worry.
Speaker 2: But I couldn't help worry. I lay awake half the
Speaker 2: night thinking about that kid in the room next door,
Speaker 2: the thirteen year old puppet with a new red swastikan.
Speaker 2: It was just a feeling.
Speaker 6: I had a funny kind of feeling at the pit
Speaker 6: of my stomach that made me wish they'd kept him
Speaker 6: in that youth camp until after we were gone. When
Speaker 6: I got up, the sun had been up for hours,
Speaker 6: and so I had the professor I.
Speaker 2: Went downstairs to the bakery.
Speaker 6: There was a smell of fresh bread baking, and I
Speaker 6: knew for our light nose in the kitchen. But the
Speaker 6: Professor was sitting at the table, swinging his watch on
Speaker 6: the gold chain and talking to that German quiz kid.
Speaker 13: You want to know.
Speaker 7: I'm just interested. I want to see how well you
Speaker 7: have earned that swastika.
Speaker 2: I stood on the stairs and listen. Was revolution.
Speaker 13: He's the greatest man who ever was or will be.
Speaker 14: When I joined the Fewer organization, the man in Chad said,
Speaker 14: join organization, but this forward forward the pane leaders to eternity.
Speaker 7: You have learned your lessons there, Yosef.
Speaker 13: Are you sure I have never seen you before?
Speaker 7: Of course not, my boy, I seem to remember.
Speaker 2: Hey, Joseph, ah good. Modern had no idea.
Speaker 6: Since we're just passing through Berlin, don't you think we
Speaker 6: are to see a few of the sights before we leave?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you're right. We will leave now. Perhaps later, Emil,
Speaker 7: we will talk more.
Speaker 6: Rat was scheduled for that night. The Professor and I
Speaker 6: had a lot of work to do. We made arrangements
Speaker 6: to meet about four point thirty that.
Speaker 2: Afternoon at a tab an aun villains to us. We
Speaker 2: went separate ways. I did a lot of walking and
Speaker 2: I made a lot of notes in my head.
Speaker 6: The Klingenberg power plant was still functioning. Just the Courage
Speaker 6: junction of the city railroad had been repaired. There was
Speaker 6: an ammunition dump on the north side that our bombers
Speaker 6: couldn't see from the air.
Speaker 2: It's a nice day.
Speaker 6: A lot of Germans were walking the streets, and I
Speaker 6: made a lot of notes in my head.
Speaker 7: The vision all now man nine nine later.
Speaker 2: I am waiting for a friend.
Speaker 6: Professor was fifteen minutes late, and I started getting nervous.
Speaker 6: Maybe somebody had recognized him. I sat there and sweated
Speaker 6: it out fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, half hour, and then
Speaker 6: he finally came.
Speaker 2: But he wasn't alone.
Speaker 7: Hell noida. This is Haltman Miller.
Speaker 8: The net only this afternoon, and I invited him to
Speaker 8: come and have dinner with us.
Speaker 15: It was not quite that way. It was I who
Speaker 15: insisted upon coming.
Speaker 2: And know I, uh, give it. Sit down.
Speaker 7: You were with one of Romel's panzer divisions.
Speaker 6: I understand, yes, we were only recently discharged from the
Speaker 6: army myself.
Speaker 3: I am just back.
Speaker 15: You will have much to talk about. There is that
Speaker 15: stupid waiter, never around when you need them.
Speaker 7: He will be here presently, presently, it is not.
Speaker 2: Soon enough, I will go to see him myself. Every
Speaker 2: right back where did you pick him up?
Speaker 8: He found me, my friend. There is a reservoir near
Speaker 8: the rail line. I was looking around.
Speaker 7: I think he was a little suspicious at first, but
Speaker 7: then I told him I was with Rammel. He became
Speaker 7: more friendly.
Speaker 8: I am beginning to believe I was in Africa myself
Speaker 8: just the same.
Speaker 2: I wish you could have shaken him. What did you
Speaker 2: find out?
Speaker 8: It was a profitable afternoon, and your profitable afternoon?
Speaker 2: He comes back.
Speaker 15: Ah, yes, but first it seems strange to me that
Speaker 15: yourself here should show so much interest, and the rest
Speaker 15: of them.
Speaker 8: And I was nearly taking a stroll getting reacquainted with Berlin.
Speaker 15: Then I watched you. I saw you walk down towards
Speaker 15: the rail line. That was when I stopped you and
Speaker 15: began to talk.
Speaker 6: We are both glad you did help give us this
Speaker 6: opportunity to get acquainted.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I hope we should see more of you while we're
Speaker 2: in the capitol.
Speaker 16: Perhaps, and no idea, perhaps you shall see a great
Speaker 16: dealer I should call the waiter and order some brandy.
Speaker 16: Oh you're not yet finish. Show me that's still eating.
Speaker 2: It's very good. A diet at the hospital was not
Speaker 2: so very no doubt, no doubt. Everything I ate stuck
Speaker 2: in my throat.
Speaker 6: I knew that German officer was watching easy to watching
Speaker 6: me strangely, and I didn't know why.
Speaker 2: I knew that something was wrong, and I didn't know why.
Speaker 2: You professor felt it too.
Speaker 17: Her name is Gertru and I tell you about and
Speaker 17: she has friends, some very pretty friends you would like
Speaker 17: to meet.
Speaker 18: Perhaps, yes, you would like to very much help. How
Speaker 18: you would have enjoyed them? We might have had great
Speaker 18: fun together, all of us. Unfortunately you may be otherwise
Speaker 18: engaged with the Gestapo.
Speaker 7: But what did you say? He haupman and I.
Speaker 15: Have been watching you through dinner, annoyed neck. You're an American.
Speaker 15: Do not move either of them.
Speaker 2: I have my hand on my down. But surely you're joking.
Speaker 7: No European.
Speaker 15: It's the way you do to change the fork from
Speaker 15: the left hand to the right after the knife is used.
Speaker 15: It first it escaped me. I just knew something bothered me.
Speaker 15: Then I realized what it was.
Speaker 2: There it was, the little thing. Just put a rope around.
Speaker 7: With my neck Americans, hold the fork side where it's.
Speaker 2: The right hand.
Speaker 6: In my nervousness, i'd first a little thing like that
Speaker 6: European manner of eating.
Speaker 2: Stuper will be very please.
Speaker 6: Sharp knife I had been eating with was still in
Speaker 6: my hand, almost disciplitable, disappeared under the table and halfway
Speaker 6: into the German office.
Speaker 19: Good work, miggie. It was stupid to get myself into
Speaker 19: that jam in the first place. We're not out of
Speaker 19: this yet, waiter, I'm on hell check please. Our friend
Speaker 19: has had a little too much to drink. We will
Speaker 19: take him home.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, right of way.
Speaker 6: Between the two of us, we managed to get him
Speaker 6: out of there. His head was rocking back and forth
Speaker 6: like a drunk. The knife was still in him, so
Speaker 6: the blood didn't flow very much, and he kept his
Speaker 6: cape around him.
Speaker 7: All right, there is no one around here, and we
Speaker 7: can dump him behind this ship.
Speaker 2: All right, we're beginning to leave a trail a mile long.
Speaker 2: It's a long, pal, It's nice meeting you. Come on, professor,
Speaker 2: let's go. When we got back to the Baker, there
Speaker 2: was more trouble waiting for us.
Speaker 6: Sixty one inches high, weighing about one hundred and ten pounds,
Speaker 6: wearing a new red swastika on his arm. It is.

Speaker 13: Okay, they arrested a man with a gold watching a chain.
Speaker 13: I tell you he is the same.
Speaker 10: What amy They do not even look alike.
Speaker 14: It's this broadcast radio I found hidden in your bedroom
Speaker 14: and a headbox.
Speaker 2: It's called a walkie talking. And why they'll give it
Speaker 2: back to me, nick use if you come back. You see,

Speaker 10: other rooftops and perhaps the ski.
Speaker 6: It'd be no perhaps about it. He went up to
Speaker 6: the attic stairs and onto the roof. You could see
Speaker 6: the Germans from there. Four of them black shirts spilled
Speaker 6: out of an armored car. Two of them broke in
Speaker 6: through the front door. Two of them started around in
Speaker 6: the rear, and then we heard amy, my boy, honah,

Speaker 2: Come and get us, paddle.
Speaker 6: One of them did try to come and get us,
Speaker 6: and he got it first, right between the eyes. He
Speaker 6: swayed for a few seconds back and forth, and then
Speaker 6: he fell off the roof.
Speaker 2: On the street.
Speaker 7: That's one off the Nikki, that are only two left?
Speaker 2: Two? What happened the third? It was behind you.

Speaker 7: I can't move it. I can't go any further, Nikki.
Speaker 2: And what happened afterwards was a nightmare.
Speaker 6: Was if the earth cracked wide open, spread hot, burning,
Speaker 6: and the noise of the planes and the ack eg
Speaker 6: and the German guns and the bombing made my stomach turn.
Speaker 6: We crouched behind the parapet and I held them off
Speaker 6: while the Professor directed the bombers.
Speaker 7: Attention, attention, bombers.
Speaker 8: The Kling and Bag power plant is still functioning and
Speaker 8: supplies electric power to whital Industries. Bomb Sector six, create
Speaker 8: G five. They ask Krit's junction of the city railroad
Speaker 8: has been repaired. Knock it out, and old traffic in
Speaker 8: Blain will be stopped. Sector two create B three. All right,
Speaker 8: go now, Nikki, while there is a chance I can
Speaker 8: hold them off long enough for you to get away.
Speaker 2: I can't leave you here.
Speaker 7: No, no, they won't take me. Don't worry.
Speaker 8: Look out Harry and will make a chart. Listen, listen
Speaker 8: to Miniki. Go across the next two rooftops and then
Speaker 8: down through the skylight. There is a tailor shower a
Speaker 8: professor out of the back door. There it leads to
Speaker 8: an alley.
Speaker 7: Once over the fence on the cover.
Speaker 2: Of the rage.
Speaker 8: You can make it, how look, I will go without you,
Speaker 8: all right, I will change your mind. Attention attention bumber,
Speaker 8: What are you doing? Attention bombers impertitive? Wait two minutes
Speaker 8: and bomb crossroads at sect the seven grid D three.
Speaker 2: Professor, what are you doing? You're crazy?
Speaker 7: That's here this sect that go on? Run run, Nikki,
Speaker 7: why cover you?
Speaker 4: I ran?
Speaker 2: I stumbled and fell and got up and ran again.
Speaker 2: When I got down in the alley through the tailor shop,
Speaker 2: I kept on running it and then the bomb fell
Speaker 2: and the concussion.
Speaker 6: Rocked the ground, and I went flat up my face.
Speaker 6: When I look back, I knew that our Pomis had
Speaker 6: made another direct hit. Professor had not only held off
Speaker 6: the Germans while I got away, but kept them there
Speaker 6: until it was too late for any of them.
Speaker 2: Little German bakery that specialized And I'll pushtroid or folded up.
Speaker 6: It had been made of matchsticks. Somewhere in the wreckage.
Speaker 6: The professor with his gold watch on the chain. It
Speaker 6: was buried under it. Now the head the planes headed back.
Speaker 6: There was nothing left for me there.
Speaker 2: I headed back to.
Speaker 4: Lieutenant Gus Olesnicus made his way to France and after
Speaker 4: months from there to England. But his direction of the
Speaker 4: bombing raid from the target itself kept some of Berlin's
Speaker 4: major industries crippled and its transportation system paralyzed. And once
Speaker 4: again the report of an OSS agent closes with the
Speaker 4: words mission accomplished. Listen next week when we again present
Speaker 4: Cloak and Dagger.
Speaker 7: Heard him.
Speaker 20: Today is Clock and Dagger Adventure Wherever at Sloan Old Zukert,
Speaker 20: Lily Darvas, Barry Kroger, Michael Artist, Raymond Edward Johnson, Carl Weber,
Speaker 20: Jerry Jarrett, Bobby wil and Brad Barker. Script was written
Speaker 20: by Winnifred Wolf and Jack Gordon. Music was under the
Speaker 20: direction of John Gart. Today's true OSS Adventure was based
Speaker 20: on the book Cloakndagger by Corey Ford and Alistair McBain.
Speaker 20: This has been a Loose g Cohn production. In association
Speaker 20: with Alfred Hollander and was under the direction and supervision
Speaker 20: of Sherman Marx. NBC offers three of radio's top mystery
Speaker 20: adventure shows, The Big Guy, Sam Spade and The Saint.
Speaker 20: So if mysteries are your meat, listening tonight next here
Speaker 20: High Adventure, then The Big Guy on NBC.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, another gripping tale. Some hard scenes in here.
Speaker 1: I think the absolute way that the Nazis poisoned email
Speaker 1: and brainwashed him is one of those things that really
Speaker 1: does deserve remembered about the methods that were utilized by
Speaker 1: the Nazis, and you know, later on you would also
Speaker 1: see the same sort of tactics being used in communist
Speaker 1: countries to turn kids against their parents and just to
Speaker 1: really take control and mold them according to the dictates
Speaker 1: of the state. And then of course we get to
Speaker 1: the end and the professor sacrificed to the say to
Speaker 1: save the lieutenant was very shocking, but it was probably
Speaker 1: the only way out. The clue that gave them away,
Speaker 1: much like the button. The first episode was a reminder
Speaker 1: of the difficulty of espionage and how many little things
Speaker 1: you have to watch. That's why I'd never make it
Speaker 1: as a spot. What happened to the Nazi Sergeant is
Speaker 1: actually a reminder of the difference between fact and fiction.
Speaker 1: A lot of our detective heroes on the Great Detectives
Speaker 1: podcasts confront desperate and dangerous people and demonstrate how cleverly
Speaker 1: they solved the crime and found them out in a
Speaker 1: way that would leave them very vulnerable to this sort
Speaker 1: of thing. Real life spies don't applaud your clever deduction
Speaker 1: and march off to await their eventual execution. They will
Speaker 1: complete their mission and preserve themselves at all costs, and
Speaker 1: that is the sort of reality we hear on Cloak
Speaker 1: and Dagger. Now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter
