In all, Bazata gave me over 35 diaries. Some have hundreds of handwritten pages. In my system of filing, I call them “Ledgers.” This came from Ledger 11, pages 7-8. In a private letter addressed to “Cher Rochard” (not otherwise identified) and dated “30 August 1980”—one of many letters he also gave to the author—he wrote the same claim more succinctly: “I first went into the USA professional killing trade via the Marines.”

Carpetbaggers

The Jedburghs: The Secret History of the Allied Special Forces

). Used to recreate the mission was Bazata’s own OSS after-action report, The U.S. National Archives; and George Millar,
Maquis: The French Resistance at War
(first published in Great Britain by William Heinemann, 1945).

24
This exceptionally low figure comes from two letters written by Bazata which include details of the drop. One is addressed to a “Jack S,” not otherwise identified, and dated “3 Mar ’79.” The other is from the last page of a three page letter unfortunately separated from its first two pages and identified only by “June 21st” on the top.

Two letters by Bazata about the jump dated “3 Mar 79” and “June 21.” Bazata indicates this happened as he hit a telephone or electric wire close to the ground.

Douglas Bazata to Bill Colby, December 15—probably written in the 1970s. Bazata and Colby had a deep relationship that hit rocky ground in their later years. Colby mentions Bazata fondly in his 1978 autobiography,
