If he was a Marine in France he was almost certainly in the OSS. Almost all “regular” Marines were in the Pacific, China or stateside.

I remember an old interview he did in the late ‘70s.
He said that his Father would NOT let him have a car until he was able to take it completely apart, and put it back together in working order.

I have no idea if it was true or made up, but I remember that interview quite accurately.
