Can you identify these OSS agents and/or locations?

Can any of you photo-forensics experts identify any of these OSS agents or locations? I'm asking for a friend.

The OSS (Office of Strategic Services) was the American equivalent of the British SOE. The OSS eventually became the CIA.

A tall order. Do we know anything about OSS Bases and camps?

A tall order

Have to agree unfortunately. My initial feeling was that we could find something but Google produced very little.

Strangely this series which I really enjoyed as a kid, was a UK production.

I had a feeling that 'After The Battle' had done something, but nothing found

Will continue looking.

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

Some of the photos on the Holmewood Hall site match those in the collection, and the photo of containers being packed is certainly taken there too.
Somewhere on the net is a great series of photos taken in and around the storage and packing areas, but I can't recall the address at the moment.

All the best,
PB

I am just reading 'Steel from the Sky' behind enemy lines in German-occupied France.

I have gone through the pictures in the book, but none seem to match what you have. This book looks as though its about the Jedburg groups.

ISBN 0 304 36707 9

There is a full list of team names and names of operators in the back of the book.
