One of the most famous #Jedburghs was William Colby, he would become CIA Director. At age 24, he led team into occupied France in Aug 1944.

He cheated on an eye exam to become a paratrooper. Jump school & French language skills made him a good candidate for #OSS & #Jedburghs.
Colby casually described #Jedburghs mission: “to harass Germans as much as possible…ambushes, blowing up bridges, that sort of thing.”
1945: Colby led #OSS special ops team into Norway to sabotage German rail lines & prevent German efforts to reinforce homeland from north.
Colby’s team “was 1st & only combined ski-parachute op ever mounted by @USArmy” in #WWII.
