Big Wow! Who ever would have thought she worked for the OSS??? Big Wow! Nicely kept secret, I'd say.

I was there last year; saw that. Cripes, that museum was great... enjoyed every minute of that tour.

You might wanna eyeball Sterling Hayden...(remember him as the nutball general in Dr. Strangelove) was a OSS guy in the Adriatic... supplying guns to the partisans behind enemy lines, bringing out downed allied pilots. Running gun battles, high seas actions.. the guy was a veritable 'james bond' during the war. Highly decorated for his actions during the war.

My father told me about this years ago.  Sometimes the media is clow to catch on.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't know. :)  I'm still just as shocked. :)
