The 16th episode of the HISTORY channel’s 20-part documentary series, “World War II with Tom Hanks,” which is about resistance movements, refers to the Jedburgh teams but makes no mention of OSS or that Operation Jedburgh was an OSS operation. It also claims that “the night before D-Day, dozens of Allied agents are dropped behind German lines to coordinate with groups of the French Resistance, so-called Jedburgh teams.” This is incorrect. Only one Jedburgh team, HUGH, jumped into France before the D-Day invasion began. In an earlier episode about intelligence (“Secrets and Lies”), OSS merited a single sentence and only to give the British credit for its creation. The Jedburghs are featured in our short documentary, “Operation Overlord: OSS and the Battle for France”: https://vimeo.com/1017308385/4a5209382f The National WWII Museum
