The Brenner Pass Story

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 through this question answered, yes.

This is... Cloak and Dagger. Espionage, international intrigue. These are the weapons of the OSS. Today's story, the Brenner Pass, is the story of an American engineer who single-handed cut off the escape of part of the German army in Italy from unrushing American troops.

The Brenner Pass is suggested by actual incidents recorded in the Washington Files of the Office of Strategic Services, a story that can now be told. No, Padre, I don't want to... Quarka goes out there. Drink this video. It will warm your insides.

I want to talk to you. I want to tell you. Drink this first. I am so tired. Rest then. So tired. You won't give me away will you? You'll hide me if the Germans come.

Won't you Padre? Won't you? He came to me, my son, because you knew I'd give you sanctuary. Any man has sanctuary in this house. Yes, but an oath, William. Anything you tell me, only God and I will witness.

And if I had not taken this oath, I still would not give you away. Thank you, Father. No. You are an American. That much you have told me. Do you want to tell me more or do you want to sleep first?

No. No. It is better you sleep first. I'll sit beside you. I won't leave. No. No, Padre, I want to tell you that may not be much time. I have a feeling that time is running out for me.
