Subject: RE: BS: Interesting WWII Yard sale find
I found some books in the basement when I was about 12. The covers stated "TOP SECRET. Unauthorized possession is punishable by not less than two years plus a day in Federal Penetentiary." I thought they were cool when I read about stuff like how to use molasses and newspaper to break glass with little noise. The subversive warfare tactics were a bit beyond my comperehension at the time.

My old man, retired RCAF, caught me reading them and they disappeared. Along with the grenades (the old man liked to fish... hehehehee) and switchblade and pistol and machine pistols and other stuff. Ya know, a 38 Parachuten will bring game wardens from miles away if you target practice at the camp.
