More than 90 #Jedburgh teams parachuted into France in 1944. Once in, they would meet up w/local resistance groups, providing an essential link between guerrillas & Allied command. One of the most famous Jedburghs was William Colby, who would later become CIA Director. #DDay75 https://t.co/eBgvwNUsMG — PolitiTweet.org
