Show notes

Today, Sayre and Preston are joined by Erik Brun. Erik is a military historian and veteran himself with a family history of service. Erik served as a Field Artillery officer spending time in the California, Arizona, and Washington D.C. National Guard before his retirement in 2011. In this episode we talk about the Office of Strategic Services in World War II. The OSS was stood up as the American version of the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) that had been hard at work in the early years of the war. We get into the selection of members, what their missions looked like and the impact they had on the outcome of the war.
