Page "Herbert Marcuse" Paragraph 6

During World War II Marcuse first worked for the U. S. Office of War Information ( OWI ) on anti-Nazi propaganda projects.

In 1943 he transferred to the Office of Strategic Services ( OSS ), the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency.

His work for the OSS involved research on Nazi Germany and denazification.

After the dissolution of the OSS in 1945, Marcuse was employed by the US Department of State as head of the Central European section, retiring after the death of his first wife in 1951.
