IAKG, funny thing about OSS/CIA...
As anybody who has bothered knows, the CIA was organized AFTER WWII. However, apparently either no one has bothered to tell the English or someone didn't do their homework.....
There's a sort of radio play on CD I bought, made in the UK (by Big Finish, for those who know) set in 1938, and it's a nice story but completely RUINED by the fact they keep talking about involving the CIA, which didn't even exist! I doubt civilians would have contacted OSS either, so they likely would have been calling in the FBI, which was much more in the public imagination at the time anyway!
*sigh*
