On Aug 23, 1997 an episode of History's Mysteries on The History Channel dealt with the OSS mission to the Viet Minh in 1945. There were extensive interviews with the following OSS officers: Lt. Charles Fenn, Cap. Raymond Grelecki, and Major Archimedes Patti, the mission leader. These three had participated at the Vietnamese declaration of independence ceremonies on September 2, 1945 and wanted the U.S. to support the new government. Patti showed a letter that he received from Washington stating that: We were not to return Indo China to the French under any circumstance. Period. The program also showed a letter written by Ho asking the State Department for economic aid, diplomatic relations, and not to support the French return. Archimedes Patti is the author of Why Viet Nam?: Prelude to America's Albatross.Italus (talk) 04:39, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
