“After supper, the night of our arrival, Diane [Virginia] gave us a clear picture of the situation as it stood in the Haute Loire, which was in a very few words: Everything is over. When I say over, I mean that there were no Germans in the District. Three battalions had been completely armed by Diane [Virginia] and under the tactical supervision of the Jed team, and reception fields had been chosen and reception committees fully organized. It was clear to Hemon and myself that we were too late, but we decided on the spot that we would help Diane in any way possible.”
- 2nd Lieutenant Henry D. Riley, 1944. (F-Section circuits. Report by participating American personnel of OSS)
