Either way, John, what these nattering nabobs are skipping over is that the OSS was created to hunt down patriots fighting back, enraged at the rape of their conquered country.

(Germans who sabotaged power stations or well pumps, or worse, occupation officials and collaborators were called "werewolves".

The OSS, along with its manhunters, also specialized in the most powerful propaganda *in* the US and UK as well as the countries occupied *by* the US and UK. The finest OSS propaganda writer in the US was an editor from Britain hired at Bill Donovan's insistence, he authored much of its material.)

The actual point I was making was that the OSS became the CIA. who , looks like, then assassinated a president. The start of the Deep State?
