There was a Readers Digest article which stated that Oswald had served in Japan during his stint in the U.S. military. The article said that his post gave him access to information about the height of U2 flights which could have led to the shoot down of Francis Gary Powers.
Other sources recounted that Oswald had defended Castro’s Cuba on the radio while he was in New Orleans. He seemed to have more affinity for Cuba than the U.S.S.R.
That being said, he probably was not working under direction of either Cuba or the U.S.S.R. It is curious that Jack Ruby, his killer, was a nightclub owner who had traveled to Communist Cuba at a time when not many people did this.
Interesting. I didn’t know Ruby had gone to Cuba. Do you know if it was after Castro had taken over? Of course the Mob had a heavy influence there prior.
