During WWII the US Office of
Strategic Services station in Bern, Switzerland (headed by Allen Dulles)
recruited agents in occupied Europe and transmitted intelligence reports back
to Washington. Dulles collaborated in intelligence gathering activities with Gerald
Mayer, local representative of the Office
of War Information and General Barnwell Legge,
US military attaché to Switzerland.
Some of these reports were decoded by the Germans and the
Finns and we can see that they mention specific agents.
For example message No. 73 Bern-London of 4/4/1943, by
General Legge lists several German divisions stationed in France and says that
the information came from Source 206. Who was this mysterious
agent?
