Dan and Tom bring back Tom Whiteman from Legacy-Collectibles.com to talk about some of the OSS weapons that were created to help the first U.S. spy agency in WW II. We talked with Mr. Whiteman in an earlier episode where we discussed James Bond’s assigned pistol, the Walther PPK. OSS morphed into the CIA!
Tom gives us the background of these weapons, if the weapon was ever used, the pros and cons of the weapon, and a very interesting background on a knife in an OSS Agent’s possession.
What spy movies and TV shows can you watch to see some of these weapons? Take a listen!
Some of the weapons we discuss include:
