Good question. My dad was evidently in the OSS. During WWII he was honorably discharged from the US Army (in the middle of the war) and then enlisted in SOMETHING where he was with the RAF. He never said what he was trained to do other than "paratrooper" and only a couple times made reference to "cyanide pills" he had with him on a mission behind the German lines. He never spoke any German. It's our great family mystery, as he evidently considered the ordeal too painful to even think or talk about for the rest of his life. All the records that might have existed were destroyed in the St. Louis government records office fire in 1973.
