Al, years ago, i read in some book about American
troops who encountered agent who was detailed to infiltrate
German lines. I believe the text vaguely described a portable
radio of the same form factor as what you picture, that is,
"long and narrow". It sounded like a suicide mission to me; i
mean, what are German soldiers in the forest around Bastogne
going to think about a "lost civilian" out in the woods, with no
good explanation, and they're not going to search him ? As i
recall, the American soldiers also considered the agent a real
hero, too. The radio mentioned was to be worn next to the body
under the outer coat. I recall seeing also in an elder Radio
News a photo of a set i thought was this described radio. I am
confident i still have both these documents but - - i am not
very organized, and don't have a clue at present of title or
date or exact whereabouts. If and when i do rediscover, i will
post here. If this set is yours, i would certainly keep it until
i learned definitivley more.
