A dear mentor of mine was an officer within the OSS. We talked often of his
activities during the Berlin occupation. I wish he were still alive today.

But this happens to be true. GIs working under OSS dismantled
the Agfa captured factories and brought them to the US, directly to
Kodak, along with technicians. Yes, Ektachrome was a war prize.
By chance, one of my neighbors, happened to mention that he was
there when this took place at one factory and witnessed it himself.
