The Science Of Spying | RARE OSS/CIA DOCUMENTARY

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS): Founded: June 13, 1942
was an agency of the U.S. federal government (1942–45) formed for the purpose of obtaining information about and sabotaging the military efforts of enemy nations during World War II. It was headed by William J. (“Wild Bill”) Donovan.
The OSS took on the following functions:
The collection and analysis of strategic information;
The planning and performance of special operations, particularly in the realms of espionage and sabotage;
The use of propaganda, subversion, and post-war planning.
The OSS employed almost 24 000 people at the height of its influence during World War II. The organization of the OSS constantly changed as it grew. At the end of the war, the departments of state and war split the functions, personnel, and records of the office.
The OSS laid the groundwork for the modern intelligence community, ultimately evolving into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that we know today.

General Patton with his beloved bull terrier Willie in 1944. The general was known for his larger-than-life personality and rousing expletive-filled speeches. After the car accident, Patton was making a fast recovery in the hospital and was set to be released when suddenly he took a turn for the worse. In 1979, a former spy named Douglas Bazata claimed that he was ordered to murder Patton and make it look like an accident. Bazata said that when the general survived the crash, he was then poisoned in the hospital.
