Ordinary citizens who 16 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:20.079 to this question answered yes. This is Cloak and Dagger, 17 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.760 black warfare, espionage, international intrigue. These are the weapons of 18 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.439 the OSS. Today's story, a War of Words, concerns an 19 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.439 American agent who personally delivered a message to the kernel 20 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.879 of a Japanese camp and is suggested by actual incidents 21 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.239 recorded in the Washington files of the Office of Strategic Services, 22 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:57.920 a story. 23 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:12.520 That can now be told. Okay, Harry, I spotted it. 24 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.280 There's our target. Check, ready to let them go, Ready, 25 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.919 bombs away theer's he goes. 26 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:22.800 I dropped every. 27 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.360 One of those bombshells we had in the plane, and 28 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.120 they hit the target right on the nose. And the 29 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:34.800 explosion that followed sounded like this just as much noise 30 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.439 as paper makes when it floods to the ground. Those 31 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:44.400 were our bombshells. Propaganda leaflets, leaflets designed by OSS to 32 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.159 lower the morale of the Japanese soldiers in that camp 33 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.560 in Burma. Those were our silent weapons. 34 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:58.080 I'm gonna turn back now, Okay, Pete, Harry, what do 35 00:02:58.120 --> 00:02:59.840 you think of that phoned up picture of the bombing 36 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.360 Tokyo we just dropped? 37 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:02.919 Looked authentic to me. 38 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.159 And I liked that little pamphlet too, you know, the 39 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:11.800 one that began Suns of the Rising Sun. It is 40 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.159 better to surrender than fight without bullets or die of 41 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.840 starvation in the jungle. 42 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:18.479 Yeah, that one was real, cured. 43 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:19.759 It's sure. 44 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:28.759 How to give those lousy jets something to think about, right, Sorry, Harry. 45 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.919 I shouldn't have said that. 46 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.759 That's okay, Pete, forget it. Let's beat our own record, 47 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.960 get him back this time. Huh yeah, here we go. 48 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:54.360 Sometimes the guys forgot that Harry was short for Haryoshi Ryoshinabura. 49 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.120 And though I like to think of myself as an 50 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.879 American Japanese, even people thought of me as a Japanese American. 51 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.800 I had to learn not to be too sensitive. 52 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.319 Mean boys, not in Thank you, colonel, it's down. 53 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.360 Cigarette. Thank you. You two have done a good job 54 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.680 in the past few months peppering Burma without propaganda material. No, 55 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.519 here's a night, thank you, and we already have begun 56 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.800 to see the results. Or how's that, colonel, Well, you 57 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.800 know how live Japanese prisoners used to be at a 58 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:44.360 premium Rather than be captured, they'd commit hallakiri, almost in defiance. 59 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.240 Oh yeah, I hear a lot of them are surrendering lately. 60 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:47.879 That's right. 61 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.040 Their morale isn't what it was good and you too 62 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:57.519 can take part of the credit for that. But tomorrow, tomorrow, 63 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.199 I want you to go one step further. Well, listening, 64 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.160 sir h take a look at his documents. 65 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.519 What is it Chinese or Japanese. Well Greek to me, 66 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.120 I can tell you what it is, Pete. It's obviously 67 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.839 a forged order to the commander of the Japanese camp 68 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.279 to withdraw his troops three miles east. 69 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.639 Well, I hope it's not an obvious forgery to him 70 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.720 attended Nabura, because if he falls for it and moves 71 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.480 his camp, our armies will have a clean road right 72 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.639 into Bambo. And once we get there, Burman's practically in 73 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:33.240 our hands. 74 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.600 I see. Oh begging your pardon, colonel. 75 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.560 What are we supposed to do to walk into that 76 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.560 Jat camp and deliver these orders? 77 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:43.839 Oh? 78 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.680 No, No, your job is much simpler. All you have 79 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.439 to do is fly over the OSS Detachment one hundred 80 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.360 and one at Asamon, drop this document a Cutching natives, 81 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.920 and our agents there will do the rest. We've contacted 82 00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.600 them by radio. They expected check, Colonel, be a snap, 83 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:01.319 nothing to it. 84 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.720 This o'll be a snap. 85 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.759 Ha, nothing to it? 86 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.560 Ha heard.

I'm gonna 89 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.360 grab more sky. Maybe you can lose him up there. 90 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.079 It's on a tail. 91 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.800 Maybe not for long, hang on, boy. 92 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.399 Most of the way up, the air was thin enough 93 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.160 so that I could see the nose of that zero 94 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.959 following us, and then it's seven thousand feet. The air 95 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.240 became thick and we lost him, but the plane had 96 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:51.240 taken quite a beating. 97 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.879 How bad is a lot you're paid? 98 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.879 Oh, we're having more than fifty miles to go, and 99 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.040 we can sit down and cutch in territory, make. 100 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.639 Repairs before heading back to India. 101 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.000 Okay, instead of dropping that document, well delivered purse, won't 102 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:06.439 we get there? 103 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:06.720 Huh? 104 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.399 If we get there?

I'm gonna kick a stick. 107 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.240 Forward as hard as I can put her in a loop. 108 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.639 Well, that's crazy. Now out of tosses backwards out of 109 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.600 the cockpit. Don't pull your rip cord before your fall 110 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.759 free of the plane.

I jerked the rip 114 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.560 cord in my shoote open. On the way down, I 115 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.399 inflated my may west and the little lifeboats swelled up 116 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.879 below me. I could see Pete drifting slowly in the 117 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.199 Brahma put the river and then I hit the water. 118 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.720 Boy, this is a nice mester to be and. 119 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.399 Not even sure exactly where then one oh one detachment's located. 120 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.920 It's somewhere to the south, isn't it.

The tall trees spread. 128 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.039 A canopy over our heads and shut out what little 129 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.399 sun there was. After a few miles, our shirts were 130 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.159 ripped the shreds on the brambles, and blood ran into. 131 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.159 Our eyes from the leeches on our foreheads. And then 132 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:57.559 feet stopped shorting, Harry, But the river? What river? What 133 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.000 is it?

But yeah, 139 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:25.080 we made a nice big circle, right back where we started. 140 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.200 How the devil did we do that anything could happened 141 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.360 in this lousy. 142 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:36.840 Harry japatroll.

We shooted oppositions every 154 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.240 few minutes. It's a regiment of ants and bugs crawled 155 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.639 into our clothing and kept us awake. And then towards 156 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.519 morning we fell asleep exhausted. When we awoke, the sun 157 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.639 had found a hole in the branches. 158 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:46.600 And crawled through. Boy, that sun's hot, is it?
