13 Rue Madeleine no open close

On to our play Act 1 of 13 Loumettale, starring Robert Montgomery as Bob Sharkey, Lloyd Nolan as Gibson, Richard Conte as Bill O'Connell and Vanessa Brown as Suzanne. Not until Pearl Harbor did the United States fully realize how frighteningly effective had been the espionage machines of Japan and Germany.

Shortly after this disaster, we established a secret espionage service, the first in our history. As the man most capable of organizing the United States Intelligence Corps, an attorney from St. Louis was selected. Charles S. Gibson.

I accepted the appointment, largely because of the men who would be working with me. Men like Robert Imichake of St. Paul, Minnesota. Master of five languages, Robert Shocky, was twice captured by the Germans in World War I, escaping each time with a brilliant record of achievement behind enemy lines. Starting in 1942 with Shocky's help, we trained

and sent overseas 76 groups of agents. Then came group 77, each a member, a volunteer for hazardous duties behind enemy lines. In the group were men like Pappy Simpson. George T. Simpson, age 47, British Intelligence Office, World War I.
