MPs in Liege Catch Four Spies

While directing traffic, an MP from the 769th MP’s named Donald E. McHenry spotted a fast-moving quarter-ton, and waved it to a stop at Liege.  When  Staff Sergeant Leon M. Hansen questioned the occupants—an officer and three men—he signalled for support. These 769th MPs had just snared a prize—four German spies given the job of sabotaging vital material and bridges.  In the vehicle were more than enough arms and explosives to wipe the MPs off the map.  The spies were a part of German commando Otto Skorzeny’s famous Operation Grief.
