An analysis of operations in the luropean Theater
during March indicated that there ill general recognition
that London will continua to be official headquarters
in the post D-day period in contrast with the Mediterran-

Naples as headquarters was an immediate consequence of

American and British cooperation characterised the oper-
ational planning. On both an intelligence and an opera-
tions level OSS activities in the European Theater should

REPORT ON OSS ACTIVITIES
FOR THE UONTH OF APRIL, 1944.
* * * * * * 4 * * * *
SECRET
Attached are reports concarning OSS personnel,
appointments and changes, transportation of personnel
overseas, the four theaters of operation: TO,
NATO,
MET?, and FETO (China-Assam, including Detachment 101,
and SEAC), and reports on the following branches:
Communications, Field Photographic, Foreign Nationalities,
R & A, Security, Schools and Training, and Services.
Otner branches are not covered separately because it
was believed their activities would more properly be
tre;Ited under the respective tilea.ters in which they
operate.
There are no reports this month on the four missions
in neutral countries because the amount of material con-
cerning then on a monthly uasis ia limiW. There are
no special innovations in the chareotdrep^rtin.2 this
month, except. that the policy hPls been adopted of pre-
paring a snmmary setting forth the high lights in all
theaters und in Washington.
One idea which will be ctrried out next month is
to Ltav6 a special section on commendations and citations,
In order th,At we may have in one place a reference to
all comaendatory remarks concerning OSS.

SUMKARY OF PROGRESS OF OSS ACTIVITIzo
DURING APRIL 1944
A reorganization was effected during April in
the European Theater. Control of OBS operational
activities was shifted to Supreme Headquarters Allied
Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF); supply and administrative
matters remain under the direction of the European
Theater of Operetions, U_ S Army (ETOUSA). Completion
of the reorganization of the North Africa and Middle
East Theater Commands under the new Mediterranean
Theater Command was carried out.
A few of the highlights of OSS activities during
tne month are indicated in tne following summary:
a. Mg In the European Theater plans were moving
toward a climax in most pre-D-day programs. The efficacy
of OSS operations in this theatereas tested on April
24-26 when joint OSS field exercises were conducted.
X-2 and SI field staffs pareicipated
4-elle and SO field
staffs acted as control. Three American controlled
teams were eroped in Frence, the first operation under-
taleen solely for intelligence purposes by SI. Revorable
comments from General Biseell (A.C. of 3, G-2) were
received for the operations of X-2, and attachment of
Special Counter Intelligence Units (SCI) to the First
Army and the First Army Group is scheduled for May. NO

34 officers and men for the 1st Army Group and 14 for the
1st Army.
B. On April 11, 1944, by command of General Eisenhower,
operational control of OSS was shifted from European
Theater of Operations, U.S. Army, (ETOUSA) to Supreme Head-
quarters, Allied Expeditionary Forces, (SHAEF). By the
same order, ETOUSA retained control of supply and admin-
istrative matters. Actual implementation of this order
was achieved in conference with SHAEF which clearly defined
OS'S operational functions under SHAEF and OSS administra-
tive functions under ETOUSA.

Two difficulties appear in the Sussex operations:
(1) The 13 Sussex agents dispatched during

(2) The Sussex proem:11ms behind sehedule
mainly because of initial failures to

perienced in obtaining confirmatio4
of pinpoints suggested by the Path-
finders.
At the end or the month, 113 Sussex field agents
and WIT operators were in training or had completed
their course at Area "SO (in England). Only 7 remained
to be enrolled to complete the quota.

imtelligenoo in France after-D-4er). Fifty agents
had been the original number fixed upon to implement
the plan. nowevort by the ed of Abrilt there were
65 Proust students at Area "B". The figure of 65
stands currently as the full complement. Eighteen
of these 65 students were furnished by BCA (Froneh
Intelligence) during the latter part of the month.
The month's activities generally were char=
itetried by high morale and exeollent performanoe._
The work done by the WIT operators was particularly
400d, and it was estimated that at least half of the
men would be ready to, meet the target date of approxi-
mately uild-.Tuno.
2. Labor Section
a, Mission Varlin. (A. mission designed to
send men with labor contacts into France to work with
resistance Groups). In February, two agents were
landed in France to establish labor contacts; one of
these men - the W/T operator - died fro:. an injury
suatAtneld after a safe landing had been reported. A
replacement for this man was recruited and went into
training. On April 15 his Life in France course was
completed. Subsequent to his

rlanding in France he will be in sta
with Station Victor. May moon is his target date.
An additional message was received in
April from the surviving agent. The message was
merely a report of additional contacts made in
organizational work; including particularly the
established contact with the leaders of the Con-
federation General du Travail (C.G.T.). There
was no intelligence data included In the report.
Overall Varlin plans were implemented
further during April by established contitet with
Col. Warts of the French Bureau for Prisoners and
Deportees. Instructions were sent out for the
recruitment of one or two reliable transport
workers to be placed in each port, railroad June-
tion or road confluence of strategic importance.
These men were scheduled to go into hiding until
after D-day, pud it will be one of the tasks of
the Labor Desk field representative to contact
them at the F:ppropriate moment,

Preliminary training of Faust B personnel
is obtained in the U.S. Advanced training to
emphasize contemporary conditions in Germany and
France will be obtained in the theatc.r. That
opening of this advanced program was delayed
because of (1) delay in recruitment of teaching
personnel, and (2) difficulties with the physical
e_taolishment of liLwaukee - the training area.
Considerable difficulty was experienced in
tue establishment of effective liaison 'with lin-deo--

have serious repercussions in terms of the ulti-
mate objectives of Faust B. In this connection

A conference was held with Chandler Morse, head

ation on the preparation of specific intelligence object-
ives, the assembling of operational intelligence, and cover
possibilities in the Western European Area.
The Poles ceased temporarily to deliver reports
for dispatch to Washington or Algiers. This was an immed-
iate result of the new censorship regulations imposed on
all governments other than the British, Soviet and U.S.
However, regular contact with established intelligence
sources continued generally and proved fruitful.

remains acute, because of a laak of qualified pprqnmq Anei
the necessary two-month training period. Immediate plans
called for a Communication Zone SCI Unit containing 7
officers and 17 KM, and for the establishment of 2 and
possibly 3 more Army-sized units. In addition, a general
shortage of field communications facilities was antici-
pated and there was little hope that the Communications
allotment would cover expanding SCI operations.

Post D-day D-day operations will demand additional operational
personnel although it is patently impossible currently
to present any sort of funetional break-down.
C. Additional personnel requirements were particu-
larly urgent for economics work because of the distinct
possibility that the bulk of the Enemy Objectives Unit
(BOO) staff mieht be lost to the Army Air Forces to aegist
in t official investigation of the Bomber offensive,
after the invasion. This investigation of the effects of
Allied bombing of tne Reich as initiated by the Army
Air Forces and is reputed to be backed in the highest
quarters. Clearly, such a demAnd would have the highest
priority and therefore R & A should be prepared to make
an all-out commitment although in effect a complete
revision of long-run plans for utilization of the economic
staff would inevitably result. This would be inevitable
because the initial total personnel estimate was based
on a limited concept of tae Staff's post D-day function -
namely CA work. In addition, R & A addressed itself to
the problem of hew best tu service MO since MO planning
was articulated during the month.

A.In order to aarry out the provisions of the new
set-up the offices in the field were this month adjusting
their i'/O's and transferring personnel cad authority. As
reported last month the headquarters for the Mediterranean
MridamLam, will be at Algiers with branch offices at Caserta
and Cairo. Caserta will have three advance bases, Bari,
Corsica and the 51n. Army, an Caixt. will seatra the Istanbul
Elution ima Accra.
It has been pointed out, however, that alt.:lough
Istanbul will be considered a forward bane of Cairo, the
lines of authority will run from the Chief at Cairo to the
Chief at Istanbul, and Cairo desk heads will not have juris-
diction afar the corresponding desks at Istanbul. Cairo has
also been given direct control of iziestern Thrace.
The Istanbul office has becn passing through a
dif-
fault and disturbing period. This has been due to an
unsettled pePoonnel situation, and the
rteerl
definition of Jurisdiction with Gairo, to &
for a clearer
lack
of 000pei-
tion. on the part of the Amlassador and to a general tightening
of Turkiah polioy, Plans have been rade to strengthen the
personnel, however, and at the end of the month Turkish policy
seemed to be relaxing.

for the Allied advance In Burma. 101 agents have
supplied detailed intelligence concerning the most
important trails, the better bridges, natural
damerange
zones, free native villages, location of Japanese
soldiers and installations. Ambush work has aceempanied
these activities in all areas, and some 232 Japanese

Five separate fielL information groups are

101 also distributes incominL information to the Air
Force and the Air Transport Command.
Captain Chartrand, liaison with StiIwellts
forces, has transmitted directly to the various field
groups _111 pressing requests for specific information.

parently increased until a large part of
the 10Knetheadf group together with their

Air dropping of supplies is done on a large
scale. In addition to dropping food and supplies suf-
ficient for our own personnel and native recruits, we
also make drops to provide many refugees and natives
whose food supplies have been depleted by the enemy.
This effort is leen paid for in good will and informa-
tion.
A packing shed has been set up and put into
operation at our headquarters. Very shortly we intend
to pack ali of our supplies

station and have
the planes land here and pick them up.
At Dinjan we now have 2 officers vho super-
vise the packing, arrange the schedules for dropping,
and fly to the targets witn the supplies. As stated
at the beginning, over 200,000 pounds of equipment and
foodstuffs were dropped to OUT aKents during April.
To make these drops possible the following
units are working with us: The Second Drop Carrier
Squadron locat.:(1 at Dinjan Field, the Rescue Squadron,
Air Transport Cocamand at Chabua Field, the 1st Air Drop-
uing Company at Dinjan Field, and the 5301st, 5302nd,
5303rd Air Dropping Zlatoon for Dinjan Field.
Drops have been made within a few hours after
message requesting supplies was received. These drops
include rations, medical supplies, am_lunition, guns,

Thirteen civilian native employees and 4 enlisted man

Lieutenant Bolter, brief description of
recent film shipments suggests that Field Photographic'*
April activities have been particularly significant.
They obtain detailed coverage of Colonel Cochrane's
glider operation, landing of the gliders in Burma,
wreckage of some at NBroadway, loading of mules on
gliders, etc. They obtain probably the last pictures
taken of Genoa-al Wingate as lie boarded the bomber which
later crashed and killed him.
u wv.atintne
Training School at the end of April had 122
students, 26 of whom are radio trainees. Health standards
in all camps are high. Courses in First Aid have been
conducted, anti-malarial worm has been continued, messes
have been constantly inspected.
The School lost two instructors this month
to Operations Section for field duty but four arrive,'
from tne States, :;c1 that training has been sore adequate.
With the addition of new non-commissioned officers en
route, personnel probleti will be greatly relieved.
XIV. WAS; ' 4 CONSIDERATIONS AFFECTING
A problem not finally disposed of is that of
elualiling the per dieu of different Army personnel in
the field. Present indications are that this problem
will be considered primarily an Army, not an OSS, problem
so that Special Funds will not be called upon to make up
any differences.

Coughlin's latest report summarizes the ac-
tivities of the Meynier group and concludes that the
returns from it are inadequate and do not justify the
effort, expense, and assorted trothles

group, itself, insists tnat troubles are due largely to
the constant detailed orders sent by Colonel Emblanc.
It is quite possible, says the report, that Colonel
Emblanc has failed to inform Commander Meynier fully of
general policy. The policy of the itench Military Mission
which Colonel Emblanc represents consists in preserving
intact French rule of Indo-China. Commander Meynier, it
is believed, desires Indo-China ran with a preponderant
degree of Innamite autonomy. Whatever the underlying
causes, it is the opinion of the OSS representativea in
China that tile Meynier group has not provided adequate
returns as a project and it is recommended that the group
should come ander the full authority and control of the
reoreseutatives of tae Franca National Committee In China.
Commodore Miles, of the Navy, is of the con-
trary oplaion. He is strongly in support of Lt. Commander
Moynier and equally opposed to Colonel Emblanc. In fact,
it is possible that Colonel Emblanc may be recalled be?
cause the Generalissimo has Indicated to General Petchkoff
(the Free French representative) that Eablanc was "persona
non grata". (This step was taken pursuant to the request
of Commodore Ales via General Tai Li).

Colonel Creswell who acceded.
OBS is not mentioned specifically in the
Order, but besides giving us an opportunity to do im-
portant work, this will provide a way of distributing
intelligence secured through the 14th Air Force via
our communications system to Ceylon, to be available
for SEAC.
There was some discussion that AGFRTS constitutes
an effort to do outside of the SACO agreement what has
proved impossible to do within it. However, it was
recognizea that the information to be gained by AGMS
is much needed. (See memorandum dated 24 April 1944,
to Deputy Chief of Staff from Colonel Creswell, A.C. of
S., G-2, of the Headquarters of the Army- Forces, CBI).
The memorandum to Colonel Coughlin from John Davies -
dated April 24, indicates that up to this time the
weakness of oar intelligence organization in China nas
been that it was second and third hand. This plan offers
the best cover available, i.e., the 14th Air Force, in
view of the faet that General Chennault and the Air Force
are so popular with the Chinese.
Pursuant to the authorization by Headquarters,
CBI, OSS Washington nag 411therized the tzansfer of 13
officers and 2 enlisted men from the 14th Alr Force to
OSS.

The move to Ceylon seems to have affected
R & A more than any other branch. There is some question
as to what wil? happen to the R & A Delhi office. Present
plans indicate that there will be both an SEAC desk and
a CBI desk, each acting as rear echelon for its respec-
tive theater. The New Delhi office has gone on with its
work while these organizational problems are being solved.
They have produced several hundred more file cards of
notes with copies going to Kunming, Ceylon and Washington.
Other duties have been lending assistance to the Army
md other agencies, helping interrogate Japanese pris-
oners of war, microfilming some 2500 frames of Japanese
and Burmese documents, purchasing books: newspapers and
periodioals as part of the INDEC program, and forwarding
needed material to further outposts.
