Oss Red Group 2 (ePub)

The author left undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina in WWII to enlist in the US Army’s 10th Mountain Div. as an infantry soldier. Recruited from there into the OSS as a member of its tactical forces, he saw combat action in North Africa, France, and China. The remarkable actions of his service in its Red Group2 are described in detail in this book.
At war’s end he returned to UNC to complete his undergraduate studies, and on graduating was recruited into the Department of Defense where he began a career in cryptology . While the details of his work remain classified, he was recognized in assignments at home and overseas as an expert, developing and writing key studies of technologies involved in this arcane field. In the latter years of his government service he was involved in important posting related to this field and in the broader fields of education and training.
Much of his post-retirement years (until his death in 2006) was devoted to leaving another record, that of the important contribution which the OSS special forces made to our battlefield successes in WWII. This book is a memoire of his own part in that story. His retirement also gave him time to pursue his love of fishing and writing, and writing about fishing ( which he had done as the "angling editor" of a major Washington D.C. newspaper). How he combined the much gentler art of fishing with his skills as a machine gunner is a surprising component of "OSS: Red Group 2"
