[Milsurplus] Mystery Radio

[Hubert Miller]

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.
