Greek OGs
Guys,
I was aked to join the OSS Society and get some interesting posts from their e-mail postings. Here's a link that came from the OSS Society on the Greek OGs formed from the disbanded 122 Inf Bn (Greek Americans) who trained at Camp Carson, CO. Interesting read for any SFer and lots of good info.
The OGs recruited for Italian Operations were designated Company A, those for the France Operations were designated Company B, and those for the Balkans (Yugoslavian and Greek), were designated Company C. An additional unit, not designated by a company symbol, consisted of OGs to be used in Norway. In August, 1944, the OGs became known as the 2671st Special Reconnaissance Battalion.
