sa
population would never believe much In the power of the
printed word and will not take great risks to bring it to
the enemy.
I was led to believe that no other Branch of OSS
had *gents or representatives inside Germany, and learred
only later that SI and X-2 had had contacts in these oountries
during all this timand that there would have been a possi-
bility to use one of their agents who had been parachuted or
Infiltrated into these countries to carry MO material.
The Mailbag Project "Cornflakes" solved part of the

/ was partioularly surprised at the leak of coopera-
tion that existed between MO and the other Branches of this
organization. The reason for this was partly because the
Central European Desk of SI and RacA were in different towns
(Caserta mnd Bei), and therefore very little personal contact
W as available. On the ether hand, we received most valuable
assistance from the N&D tranoh, under Captain Allison in Rome,
who produced wonderful faked German forms, oanoellation stEmps
and other items on the shortest notice, It was also a great

Having many social ?contacts in Rome, some of them

were not only valuable for MO, but for various other branch

deRothermann and I developed quite a system to

to get many complimentary lettere from various OSS Branohos.
During the eight months In Rome we submitted more than 80 reports
to these Branches, and many of them were reproduoed under our
(lode name "Mormon and distributed through the Reporting Board.
We were pleased to aee by the violent reactiona of the

copied in our prints:hop and mimeographed on the reverse side
were subversive leaflets, signed by German soldiers/ committees,
such as "Bund Deutschll~ Grenadiere" and others, the cover
story being that same disgruntled German soldier got hold of a
bunch of these forma in some battalion headquarters and used
them to tell bis comrades what he thought was wrong with the
Nazi system. This method seemed quite successful as various
German Army newspapers warned German soldiers not to fall for
these "cleverly devised" subversive attempts.
We further started a special production line address-
ing Austrians, mimeographing and printing Austrian underground
papers, leaflets, stickers, instructions, eta.
Under was away from Rome most of the time working
with the "Sauerkraut's" in Sienna, and later in Florence, 30
that a tremendous amount of work had to be done by de Rothormann
and myself. We had to collect Ind analyze all available intel-
ligence, interrogate prisoners, plan, write, and edit all items,
than to copy-and proofread them, make the layout of the paper,
and translate the general idea of the items to the Chief of the
Branch.
The greatest difficulty for the whole Branch was the
question of distribution. To produce before distribution has
been arranged does not seem to me to be the right way to do it.
In my opinion, there should first be created as many ways of
distribution as possible; all efforts should be concentrated
4n exploring every possibility. Then the production should be
adapted to the available methods of distribution. It means
that if you can only reach the troops in the field there is no
use writing philosophical editorials; whereas, if you can reach
the civilian population you must concentrate on domestic pro-
blems that seem more important to them than any military question.
The "Sauerkraut.", while very spectacular, are only
needlepricks, as every soldier going through the lines can only
teke 3 to 4 pounds of WO material with him. He will also try to
get rid of the stuff as quickly as possible, since it would give
him away as a apy if he were to be found with this material on
his person. On the other hand, MO material found either in No-
Manta Land or just behind the lines will hardly convince the
enemy soldier that it comes from the homeland.
Air drops, even if made black by some device such as
"This copy of u GoIrman underground paper has been found in an
occupied German town" (Pig Iron), will not necessarily make m
item oleo& in tile eyes of the native population. The best
thing to do seems to be infiltration, even in small quantities,
for if a hundred items would reach the enemy by mail or were
to be pushed under his door they would be more impressive and
'would be far mom likely to have the desired effect than if
10000 were to flutter down from the air like "white" FWB items.
Distribution through partiaans in German-oocupied
countries was aucoessful in France and Northern Italy, but to

Prom 4 June 1044 to 11 May 1946 I worked AS 0
civilian field representative or the, MO Branch of OSS.
I left Washington Or 4 June 1044 by plane, Rnd arrived In
Algiers on 6 jun* 1944 to take up my duties se pollttoal
advisor, Oetwian writer and general ideas man with the MO
15shoh.
When I arrived there wam only one Unman *riter-
a young Austrian boy, gddie Under?who had been rooruited
in North Afrioa a few months before.
The Oilier or the )3renoh, Mr. Eugene P. Warner,
*leo kept two German POWs In a villa and tried to une them
ai writers for German material.
flosides some Italian. items previously produced,
there were a few mimeogr*hed leaflets written by Under,
stiokers and "Wie Lang Nooh" series brilliantly denigned
by Lt.(jg) Saul Steinberg, and slogan, that went with them
that were not quite or the ammo standard.
We started Immediately on bhn production of n
German monthly newepaper uhet wen mupposedly the mouthpiece
of el exittent 0,rman subversive Pesos Party. I was Able
to convince Mr. Warner that one of the first rules or Mo
ohould be that no artieleo or items first written in English
and then transleted into German shold ever be used, for it
was impossible to make any type or translation sound the
sem* as the original, and that no person ar a different
nationality is ever able to have exactly the same trend of
thought or to express himself correetly.
Working ocnditions in Algiers were very difficult.
We were in sun-biked huts, working on oonverted orange boxoe
for Ways, with one German typewritor. At that time our
printing facilities were verl limited. It took weeks to get
the Oerman "umlaute", but I didn't want the German paper to
be printed mad releaeed without them. Neverthslees, every

the specific difficulties of which he personally became aware.
In the assigning of individual, to work with the Chinese on
special mission the Chinese are very "rank consoious" and
are very reluctant to work with enlisted men* In my partio6?
ular ease While traveling alone, relying on Chinese modes of
transport, I was introduced by my interpreter as a Major.
If Chinese officials became aware of any foreigner in the
military servi*, as an en14.sted man, the scope of his
activities would become very limited, Intelligence infor-
mation would suddenly become scarce, wethods of travel would
become nonftexistent in fact the very subsistence of the
individual would be eeriously threatimed. This ia because of
a very strict class syatem in China.
6* All film, both mobion pioturs and still made by the
writer from 20 June 1943 to 16 June 1944, was turned over to
the Commander U.S. Naval Group, China, as I was under the
Commend of that activity during that period.
No photographic assignments wore completed while
under the command of Lt. Col. I. Tolstoy, AUS, Commanding
Officer of project "Saddle" from 16 June 1944 to 30 November

(1) Chief, Field Photographic Branch
(2) Secretariat, OSS
From: Robert J. Eastman, CSp(P)(PA), USNR
Subject: Overseas Returnee, Field Report
1. On 23 March 1943 I left Washington, D. C. on tempo-
rary duty orders to report to the Commander, U.S. Navy Group,
Chungking, China, suzh temporary duty to be of indefinite
duration. I arrived in Chungking, China on 20 June 1943 and
was assigned to the duty of setting up a station film labo-
ratory and processing station, located at the Rq. of tho U.S.
Naval Group, adjacont to the city of Chungking. In September
1943, I was transferred to tho city of Calcutta, India on
temporary additional duty to set up a supply system of photo-
graphic materials for the field camps and hq. laboratory in
Chur3king. The duration of this temporary additional duty
was about one month. In October 1943, I returned to Chungking
for further transfer to Camp No. 4, U.S. Naval Group activity
in Northwest China. I loft the city of Chungking on 15 November
1943 for Camp No. 4 for duty of an indefinite duration, under
the command of the U.S. Naval Group, China.
Inasmuch as the duties outlined in the above para-
graph were completed while on detached duty from the OSS, Field
Photographic Branch, and that a complete report has been
submitted comerning the activities of the Field Photographic
Unit, which was on detached duty with the U.S. Naval Group,
China, by the Commanding Officer of the Field Photographic
Unit, the writer has no comments to make.
2. On 28 April 1944 I received orders via radio dispatch
to report to the Commander, U.S. Naval Group, China, via the
first available transportation for further transfer back to
the Branch Eq. Dot. 202, the OBS activitY in Chungking. I
left Camp No. 4, the U.S. Naval Group activity, located in
Shompa, Suiyan Province, China on 17 May 1944, arriving in
the City of Chungking on 12 Juno 1944, where I reported to

5. With reference to the problem of relationship between
Ala and Si In
the field, steps are prsely being taken to improve
the situation, which has for sometimeent
been recognized as meatier-,
factory. An effort la being made to coordinate the dispatch of
intelligence directives by. liScA and 0I tn Wainon, and to arrange
for closer cooperation between fiel :r
on, representatives of Si and R&A
in Athens. The problem has been partly one of personalities, and
RIA, Washington ls presently seeking to replace its representative
in Athens with a man who Is less afraid to overstep what he maw
believe to be the limitations of his directive. Actually, in in
()axe: as small as Athens, intelligence requests sholald be farmed
out kr the Chief, OSS to whatever individuals have the contacts
and facilities most nearly capable of producing an adequate result.
In a larger office, this function should be controlled by an
intelligence officer along the lines indicated by Wes Crosby.
6. Concerning insufficient office help (parn. 0-2), this
situation was only too clearly recognized in Cairo prior to the
establishment of the Athens office. The original Young Plan, Jr.
allowed for sufficient clerical assistance. However, Ude Plan was
drastically revlsed by directive from Caserta which was rigidly
interpreted by Ciolonel Aldrich. It was exceedingly difficult to
secure permission for other than the absolute minimum of personnel
to be dispatched to Athen,. insistence upon the necessity of more
cleric./ help, if the operations of the office were to be run
effently, was of little avail. As regards Misa Crosby's criticism,
I woUld only say that It was not the Greek Desk which was at fault
but 4 higher policy. The oxporlence ln Athens should definitely be
a les4fk:n to which proper attention should be paid in the future.
7. Miss Crosby's criticiem of the training of Si agents
has been repeated from Cairo and Athens on a great many occasions.
Ai has been pointed out, this situation has been altered radlcal4
1
for U. better in recent months, and it is to be hoped that future
1
field representatives will reech their posts in a bettor condition
I,
to do the job demanded of theft, than were the early samples sent
to the fleld.

OFFICE OF STRATEGIC SERVICES
WASHINGTON, O. C.

: Stephen B. L. Penrose, Jr.
SUBJECT : Field Report of Miss Margaret Crosby

29 hay 1945
1. Mien Crosby's report is of special interest and importance
boloiume she has been an exceedingly effective officer in the field,
and ner judgment is usually calm and well-balanced. She was in
Atheas all during the strenuous period of the Civil War and did her
work well under terribly difficult conditions. It is rather sig-
nificant that she makes no comment at all upon this in the brief
paragraph in her report in which she refers to her activities in
Athens (para. A-2),
2. The comment made in para. B-1, concerning the desirability
of more frequent contact with Washington, might have been made from
almost any field office. The situation was perhaps more acute in
Athens than elsewhere because of the strenuous conditions under which
the work was performed. An effwit was made on the part of the Cairo
office to maintain constant touch and to give Athens the feeling of
dependable support, which would mean a great deal to a group as
isolated as that one was. However, appreciation from Cairo is hardly
as satisfactory as appreciation from headquarters in Washington.
3, The unfortunate fact with regard to the entire Greek
operation was that, although intelligence coverage was excellent and
emplote, there yes actually very little American interest in the
Greek scone. Our Greek Section was in the position of a man all
dressed up with no pia** to go. In Athens and in Cairo, I have had
expreeeed to me man, times an acute ~emu of this situation
on the part of repreeentetives of the Greek Section. Under such
circumstances, unusual efforts must be mode by headquarters to
indicate appreciati4n on its pert of the work which is being dans*
4* Ths concrete suggestions ARA' by Miss Crosby in para.
P.1 (*AM are constructivn and have been acted upon. The dispatch
;or nom *lipping, to Athens rAS begun before Miss Crosby returned.
Slope are now being taken to provide more specific tnformation con..
wiling the evaluation of Greek reports.

C. in the Fluid vihich mit be roved
Conditions /nth. field are good and the machinery is
there and well set up for execution of all projects contemplated.
Some zild friction exists among the various branches
regarding their prerogative, but the writer doers not feel that
any handicap has been placwd on say individual or group desiring
to do a good job of work in the field.
Morels, as in any outfit, ia in direct proportion to the
amount af work an head. Therefore, because of a shortage of
transportation (see ItrOP below) there is a normal amount of con-
plaining because several individuals feel that they are not active
enough. 3orevars, it is obvious that if OSS is to play a major
rote Ln, SW, considerable backlog of men is necessary. Also,
note peire-ouriel arriving in the field cannot, except in rare instances,
expect 'modiste and axciting action,
D. eitio Difficulties
There are twu Tljor diffioultiee (1) transportation, and
( ) good Agents.

program, hes feels that its ovoutmal susoosa at this tto is

taken. their program should be extremelY effective.

Subject: REPORT ON MO AND FWD ACTIVITIES IN FRANCE
1. At the request of Kr. Morak, this brief report is
prepared in advance of more complete estimates which should now be
en rout* from the ETC. Mr. Frederick Oechsner is now in possession of
the Hollander report, a full description of PE aotivities in France,
and a separate report on the contributions of MO to the Psychological
ftrfare D1a31021 t ell livels.
2. At present, (O, like mTy other regular military organise."
tton, is bringing to bear against the enemy in the ETO a cutting edge
of apparently mall dimensions. However, it is thought by regular Army
a.Licers that this cutting edge is no more out of proportion tothe
main 'hod: of the orgmaisatim than the cutting edge maintained by an
Army, for instance. There are three places in which MO is conducting
operations against the enemy in Western Europe*

at tem2s? In terms of well-trained ptrisonnel, MO is conducting an
extremelyeffeative *white* propaganda campaign against German troops.

410;rtunately, that particularly during the early days in France, oertain
ind1vidua13 attached to P sections -- and this includes military
orsannel ea well as civilians -- simplig went at the job in a rather
tic manner. Men were sent out on specific missions and in all too
many cases, they took advantage of their beingit the front to do what
they pleased* makins excuses later. As Col. Clifford ?oxen once
pointed out, there never were enough men who wouad, upon assign:m*4RM'
carry out their jobs and reportyromptlY back to their bases. Too Li ,
many persons wandered around Cho front playing 1ayohol6gra1 Warfare by
*sr. 434rentual1y, this sort of thing got in the hair of the military
and operated against the most Important objective in organising
psychological warfare: selling the illitary on what you are doing and
enabling G-2's and G.45's to know and understand rhat you are doing.
There were organisational difficulties, some of which still obtain, 1r
Which Impede full and complete understandink between the regular
military and PS. In addition there were the usual personal jealousies !
and ambitions mhich hampered relationships internally and with the
military. The military, obviously, is best sold by results, but even
!results unexplained are not enough. Now that the operation is being
completely shaken down, liaison with the milMary is becoming more and
more effective.
4. It must be pointed out that despite its troubled career
in the ST0* MO has done what must be recognized as a job of very large
proportions. gor stould the personal ditwasiattatut& of returning
tourists prevent one from seeing rEtThas been accomplished. More
important, those MO operators who have stayed on the job in Washington,
ridivg out all the storms and vicissitudes of an agency's career and
xistening to our constant griping, should not be persuaded by the long-
sced mantry returning from Surope that the outfit has been a bust in
the SO. True, we probably haven't done as well or as much as we might
have dens. 2ut WO has done a job -- and a pretty good job. And to any-
one familiar with tbe roadblocks in our path, it ought to rank as a con-
siderable achievement.

between the PT S.ivadron, the British Flotilla, and OSS in
London* Three clandestine missions were successfully com-
pItted, two for $13 and one for OM The British Jobs entailed
piing up agents and intelligence', the American job resulted
in the landin4 of three agentes
S. The PTs were also used for high-speed emergency
forrring or 0$3 personnel between England, Omaha Beach,
Cher!aourg& L'Aberitranches and Dieppe, and in taking out
agents and Frenchmen whose transportation by normal means
might jeopardise security.
6. In late August the American tanks swept into Brittany
and cancelled three PT operations which had been author-
ized, planned, and briefed. From then on our work consisted
solely of ferry jobs because neither OW nor the British
contemplated any secret maIltime operations within range
of the ins. From mid-JUly until mid-October a total of
approximately twenty ferry *rips carrying 150 passengers
ware completed.
7. By mid-October it became clear that the work of the
PT* was through becaust, there were no clandestine
jobs Ahmed for the Lowlands or for Denmark, and the
imatner in the Channel was becoming too rough for ferry
work. I then requested transfer back to Washington.
