Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
The stories this man is trusted with. What a delight to hear. I'm so thankful.
Interesting. W.E,B. Griffin used the early OSS history as a basis for multiple novels including an entire series about WWII. Great reads.
Loved his books.
ha'ha
cool stoiries, I worked at a call center and talked to a lot of ww2 vets with similar stories
My mother was recruited for OSS in 1942.
My great aunt - she's 104 now, was in Vienna and England with the OSS during WWII, and then with the CIA for a while after that - they recently honored her with items and a letter from the CIA for her past service. Really nice. My dad (passed in 2020) was also in an unusual intelligence group in WWII - they hunted the underground aircraft manufacturers hidden in the Salt Mines. He wasn't OSS - he was Army Air Corps and was an Aeronautical Engineer. Generally followed Patton's group, and also came into Buchenwald Concentration Camp after Patton liberated it. He never forgot the images in that camp and that's how we all knew the Holocaust was real. Anyway, both had interesting careers - most of the WWII heroes have passed now. There's still a group left in Ft Worth, TX in a group called Roll Call - the stories from that group have been awesome.
Comparing apples and oranges, the OSS and CIA. Office of Strategic Services was U.S. Army, including the 15th. Special Services, the most highly decorated division of the War, and two other Army divisions. Some OSS veterans went to work for the CIA after the War. OSS headquarters in Washington consisted of two wings, one European theater, one Pacific Theater, with teletypes in the middle. OSS HQ tracked enemy financial transactions.
My father-in-law was OSS in Patton's army! Never talked about it except his oldest son who won't talk!
Erik Prince mentioned reading one of William J Donovan’s books, but I haven’t been able find the existence of a single one. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on his writings?
Hry guys, love the vids! Just wanted to let uou know CensorTube is playing games with your account, as if you haven't been aware. I've been unsubbed to this account four times this week alone: i keep checking since the new FCC rules dropped.
I watch a channel called China Update. On China Update there were also warnings that people were being strangely unsubscribed from the channel, and to be aware of what was going on.
The serial numbers to weapons was used to great affect in Vietnam. The Soviets would issue bulk manufactured AK-47s in crates to the NVA who would then issue them in bulk to a given unit. We knew what the Soviets were sending, had the serial numbers, could use SoF to go snatch an AK47 to a regular NVA line unit and then be able to discern NVA strengths and OoB and by snatching AKs could tell what unit was where on the Battlefield, including size, Cdr etc... this occured in IDrang valley before the battle.
May still be classified, don't care.
Interesting.

OSS also hired quite a few NAZI officers after WWII and saved many NAZIs by moving them to the United States and to South America.
you're referring to operation paperclip and it wasn't a few nazis it was a lot of nazis on the tech side and the field rough and ready crowd
RIP Frank Olson

I challenge anyone to a duel of knowledge on the subject....... Crickets look up: the Hill in Hieroglyph & you will see the letter Q. OSS origin is why OScarS also why OSiriS not that they all have the same meaning they are all just functionally saying something which you need to know the meaning of Hieroglyph writing to comprehend what is really on display. The OG OSS guy Wild Bill is born when 1.1.1883 which is the dead mans hand aces eights also the letter R hence miRRor or the 18th Dynasty Tut but you know this right? Anyone else know why they use 201? Why don't you know?
I accept your challenge. Do you know anything about Sabbatai Zevi?
@@whiskeymonk4085 I did years ago it's been a while since I watched his stuff. Robert Sepehr has a good vid on it here called 1666 RedemptionThroughSin SIN of which=42 just as BORG=2 or ODIN is 42 the AI guy their way being right to left their christ/X is the anti or 201 other way AT TA=201 version. Just as Gates=SetQ to borg Q to make this place AI like Monsanto everything is to be their thing the artificial version gets choice the real version is kept Alioth style hidden hence the images of Taurus in a cloud being "eaten" by a cloud with Cetus below the club of Orion in front & Ramses behind since Moses would be Taurus the Au=gold Thor hence the Thor AX of Marvel stuff which as a Ta uru S archetype I noticed.
@@whiskeymonk4085 Ever notice Shatner & Kirks DOB?
@@johnmastroligulano7401 I'll play. Tell me one little snippet about Sabbatai Zevi and I'll look up Bob Shatner birthday connections.
@whiskeymonk4085 what does he have to do with the oss
