Additional Information about the Office of Strategic Services
World War II History Blog Article entitled, "Julia Child Part of the OSS in WWII" by Brett J. Blackledge (Associated Press) discusses the special military unit, Office of Strategic Services, that John H Hemingway participated in, during World War II. In 1945, President Truman disbanded this unit, by its merger into the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). John is mentioned in this article.
U.S. National Park Service, "OSS in Action: The Mediterranean and European Theaters" EXCERPT: " It has been estimated that during World War II, the total number of people who served in the OSS probably numbered fewer than 20,000 men and women altogether, less than the size of one of the nearly one hundred U.S. infantry divisions, a mere handful among the sixteen million Americans who served in uniform in World War II."
