The Ritchie Boys on 60 Minutes - I never had heard of them.

[El Supremo]

But they were a very important intelligence unit in WWII. Their existence was kept secret for decades. J.D. Salinger was a member! They should make a movie about them.

2. Me Neither

This story was kept secret for Decades to protect the heroes.

The 2-3 men they talked to, all closing in on 100, seemed quite fit mentally, it was notable.

Hope I am still all there upstairs nearing a hundred....if I make it that far. Still decades away but time seems to speed up as you age.

More of this.

Sunday, Jon Wertheim tells the little-known story of the "Ritchie Boys," a group who used their knowledge of German language and culture to gather more than half the combat intelligence on the Western Front.
