Imagine the Terror: On a seemingly ordinary day in May, 1941, a boy from a tiny village in Crete faces an unexpected threat - the invasion of German troops. He runs for cover - his first escape in a series of encounters with destiny. Imagine the Adventure: The boy and his brother work for the SOE, an underground branch of the English Intelligence Service. When the resistance movement is uncovered, they quickly escape through the mountains of Crete, hiding from the enemy in broad daylight. Danger looms everywhere. Imagine the Glamour: The boy trains to be a spy for the OSS (the Office of Strategic Services), the SOE's newly formed American intelligence counterpart. Imagine the Peril: While on his undercover mission in Salonica, the boy constantly risks his life, operating a wireless radio in plain view. Will the German police ever discover him? Imagine the Courage: If captured, the boy resolves to take a poison capsule that will quickly end his young life, rather than endure torture. Often, he finds himself seconds away from that dreaded event. Imagine the Victory of living to tell the tale at age 91... It's all true! No imagination is necessary. This is the stuff of movies--a must-read story about the Game of Life. The author's story, along with those of other agents, was featured in the documentary Camp X: Secret Agent School, a production by YAP Films, and was aired on HISTORY Channel in Canada and other networks worldwide.

An American-born boy grew up in a small village on the Greek island of Crete. In his last year in high school, he witnessed the German invasion of Crete, in May of 1941, during the early days of WW II. At the age of eighteen, he joined a resistance group headed by his brother, and supplied crucial information to the SOE, the arm of the English Intelligence Service. This resistance group is uncovered, resulting in their hasty evacuation by the SOE, to Cairo, Egypt. In Cairo, the author and his brother were asked to join the English Intelligence Service, but rather, pursued the American OSS, or Office of Strategic Services, the newly formed American intelligence counterpart. They were enlisted into the US Army, and attached to the OSS, where the author was trained in the SI, or Secret Intelligence sector, which included parachute jumping, wireless/Morse code training, commando/defense training, locks/safe-cracking techniques, escape methods, and environment assimilation techniques. After being transformed into a skilled spy, the author was sent back to Greece undercover, and along with a Greek naval intelligence officer, set up a communications cell in Salonica, Greece s second largest city, whereby daily coded messages to OSS Headquarters in Cairo were sent. One such message describes the course of events surrounding the bombing of the main railroad yard in Salonica, and the loss of thousands of German troops, as well as recalling the near-capture encounters with the German Gestapo and the Greek police. The author also recounts his personal experiences of his escape from Crete through the mountains, the evacuations by an English torpedo boat, his OSS training, the return mission to Greece, and his final return to the United States.

Stellen Sie sich den Schrecken vor: An einem scheinbar ganz normalen Tag im Mai des Jahres 1941 wird ein Junge aus einem kleinen Dorf auf Kreta mit einer unerwarteten Bedrohung konfrontiert - der Einmarsch der deutschen Truppen. Er rennt um sich zu verstecken - seine erste Flucht in einer Reihe von Begegnungen mit dem Schicksal. Stellen Sie sich das Abenteuer vor: Der Junge und sein Bruder arbeiten für die SOE, eine Untergrundorganisation des Englischen Geheimdienstes. Wenn die Widerstandsbewegung entdeckt wird, fl iehen sie schnell durch die Berge Kretas und verstecken sich vor dem Feind am helllichten Tag. Gefahr droht überall. Stellen Sie sich den Ruhm vor: Der Junge wird in einem ägyptischen Palast zum Spion für das OSS (das Office of Strategic Services) ausgebildet, ein von der SOE neu gegründetes Gegenstück zum amerikanischen Nachrichtendienst. Stellen Sie sich die Gefahr vor: Während er auf seiner Undercover-Mission in Saloniki ist, riskiert der Junge andauernd sein Leben da er deutlich sichtbar mit einem Rundfunk operiert. Wird die deutsche Polizei ihn jemals entdecken? Stellen Sie sich den Mut vor: Sollte der Junge gefangen werden, würde er eher eine Kapsel mit Gift, die sein junges Leben schnell beenden würde, einnehmen als Folter zu ertragen. Oft fi ndet er sich nur Sekunden von diesen gefürchteten Maßnahme entfernt wieder. Stellen Sie sich den Triumph vor am Leben zu sein um diese Geschichte im Alter von 91 Jahren zu erzählen . . . Das alles ist wahr. Folgen Sie Doundoulakis' Verwandlung vom Jungen zum Mann, vom Mann zum Soldaten und vom Soldaten zum Spion. Diese Geschichte über das Spiel des Lebens muss einfach gelesen werden. Die Geschichte des Autors spielte neben den Geschichten von anderen Agenten in dem Dokumentarfi lm Camp X: Secret Agent School - eine Produktion der Yap Films - mit und wurde auf dem History Channel in Kanada, Kanal Smithsonian, sowie auf anderen weltweiten Netzwerken ausgestrahlt.

During World War II, training in the black arts of covert operation was vital preparation for the 'ungentlemanly warfare' waged by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) against Hitler's Germany and Tojo's Japan. Reproduced here is the most comprehensive training syllabus used at SOE's Special Training Schools (STSs) showing how agents learnt to wreak maximum destruction in occupied Europe and beyond. The training took place in country houses and other secluded locations ranging from the Highlands of Scotland to Singapore and Canada. An array of unconventional skills are covered - from burglary, close combat and silent killing through to propaganda, surveillance and disguise - giving insight into the workings of one of World War II's most intriguing organizations. Denis Rigden's introduction sets the documents in its historical context and includes stories of how these lessons were put into practice on actual wartime missions.

Bang-Bang Boys, Jedburghs, and the House of Horrors is an authoritative look at the history of the training and operations of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. The OSS, created by President Frankin Roosevelt in June 1942 (seven months after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor) and headed by William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the OSS was to fill a vital role of intelligence-gathering and special operations during the war. From the intensive training at several National Park service units in the U.S. and at overseas camps, the men and women of the OSS were trained to fight, survive, and successfully complete their missions under unimaginably dangerous conditions. Bang-Bang Boys, originally prepared for the U.S. National Park Service in 2008 as OSS Training in the National Parks and Service Abroad in World War II, and based on the exhaustive research and interviews conducted by the author, tells their story. Included are 54 pages of maps and photographs. Author John W. Chambers II is a Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University and the author of a number of books on military history.

This book tells the dramatic story of the recruitment and training of a group of German communist exiles by the London office of the Office of Strategic Services for key spy missions into Nazi Germany during the final months of World War II. The book chronicles their stand against the rise of Hitler in 1930s that caused them to flee Germany for Czechoslovakia and then England where they resettled and awaited an opportunity to get back into the war against the Nazis. That chance would arrive in late 1944 when the OSS recruited them for these important missions which became part of the historic German Penetration Campaign. Some of the German exiles carried out successful missions that provided key military intelligence to the Allied armies advancing into Germany while others suffered untimely deaths immediately upon the dispatch of their missions that still raise troubling issues. And based on declassified East German government files, this book also reveals that notwithstanding the US military alliance with the Soviet Union, a few of the German communist exiles betrayed the trust that the OSS had placed in them by working with a secret spy network in England that enabled its agents to receive top secret mission related information and OSS sources and methods. That spy network was run by the GRU, the Red Army military intelligence service. This is the same intelligence service that has just been cited by US law enforcement officers as having hacked into computers run by the Democratic National Committee and launched a social media campaign in order to influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. While the dual loyalties of the German exiles later became known to the United States military, such knowledge did not prevent it from posthumously awarding military decorations to the men who led these missions. Until that day, no German national had ever been presented with such medals for their service to the Allied armies in World War II.
