OSS Weapons with Tom Whiteman

Dan and Tom bring back Tom Whiteman from Legacy-Collectibles.com to talk about some of the OSS weapons that were created to help the first U.S. spy agency in WW II. We talked with Mr. Whiteman in an earlier episode where we discussed James Bond's assigned pistol, the Walther PPK. OSS morphed into the CIA!

Tom gives us the background of these weapons, if the weapon was ever used, the pros and cons of the weapon, and a very interesting background on a knife in an OSS Agent's possession.

What spy movies and TV shows can you watch to see some of these weapons? Take a listen!

Some of the weapons we discuss include:

  • The Beano grenade

  • The Liberator pistol

  • The Colt model 1903 snub nose revolver

  • A spring-loaded baton

  • The FitzGerald revolver

  • The OSS Stiletto (Pancake Flipper)

  • And more ….

Covert operations weapons offer a lot to decode, so take a listen!

Tell us what you think about our discussion with Tom Whiteman of these OSS weapons

So, take a listen and let us know what you think. Have you heard of any of these? If so, have you used one? Which one of these weapons do you think would have been the most effective. Have you seen any of these weapons in a spy movie, TV show, or streaming series?

Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!
