Wild Bill - Old Buddy,
Strategic Intelligence School isn’t a promotion.  It’s subtle discipline for doing what had to be done in the Philippines.  You know this as well as anyone, so don’t kid a kidder.
On the subject of Madden, we’ll use him if we can but have to consider that politically, he’s compromised.  J. Edgar is obsessive about all things Russian; he wanted our job and he’s going to butt in whenever he can, whether we like it or not.  Madden spent way too much time with the Soviets and therefore is effectively blackballed for anything with even the smallest amount of oversight.  I’ll ask around and we’ll throw him a bone if we can.
               By the way, had a look at Indochina recently?  The French are in sad shape, now they’re hiring Germans to do their dirty work.  I sit here in Colorado and wonder how I can get some of that ... I’m not going to be out to pasture forever and a stitch in time saves nine.
               Always appreciate your sage advice, even when it’s given grudgingly.
               Ed

The Goose Flies South

A Fascist resurgence in South America?  A mysterious fleet of German submarines arriving in Argentina after the fall of Berlin?  A Nazi A-bomb?  All subjects of increasing speculation.

Despite the valiant efforts against Hitler and Mussolini, Fascist leaders still exist – in Spain, Portugal, and now Argentina.  The same Argentina where rumors of German submarines abound … is this nation in the new world harboring war criminals from the old?  Have Nazi scientists replicated the work of the Manhattan Project and if so will the world soon be subject to Atomic Blackmail?

Madden flies a small group of scientists and military officers south to observe and record data on a private atomic bomb test being conducted by a group of ex Nazis and Argentine militarists.  The secret tests will be in the area of the San Tadeo River and the Dome of St. Paul in Chilean Patagonia, but the mission may have been penetrated by a foreign agent and Turk himself has a set of secret orders that could conflict with the original mission.
