Swastika on the Windmill

Are you willing to undertake a dangerous mission behind the enemy lines? Knowing you may never return alive. What you have just heard is the question asked during the war to agents of the OSS. Ordinary citizens, who to this question answered, yes.

This is Cloak and Dagger. Warfare, espionage, international entry. These are the weapons of the OSS. In today's adventure, the swastika on the windmill, the role of Paul Halfand, an OSS agent in Holland, is played by Les Tremaine.

The story is suggested by actual incidents, recorded in the Washington files of the Office of Strategic Services. A story that can now be told. My mouth was as dry as ashes. The palms of my hands were ringing wet.

My revolver was drawn, and I moved slowly, slowly along the dark hall. Everything I had been taught led up to this moment. Boards under my feet teetered. For a terrifying moment I almost lost my balance and fell backwards.

Something was ahead of me. In a room along that dark passage, I sensed it more than anything else. Then I heard it. Mama, I have to have to have to. I stopped breathing until I passed that room in the voices of the hidden Germans.

Almost slid past them to the end of the corridor. of the corridor. How did you make a karador? There was a Nazi stormtrooper in uniform right in front of me blocking the exit. Well, fire!

Fire! Good work, Paul. Well, that's it. You passed the test. Now the colonel wants to see you. What I had just come through was a cleverly designed scare house that rivaled any Coney Island Chamber of Horrors for one minute thrills.
