Orson Welles' "The War of the Worlds" was aired in 1938. The OSS wasn't formed until 1942.
Also, the claims of mass panic resulting from the "War of the Worlds' broadcast are greatly exaggerated. The majority of people knew it was a fictional radio show, and even most of those who were momentarily fooled immediately called CBS or their local police and quickly found out it wasn't real, or found out within half an hour from Orson Welles' narration itself.
My memory may be juxtaposed. A guy hired by CBS, just for the broadcast. Ended up in the OSS.
A gov man, came to cbs, back to gov. Then in the oss.
It has been a long time since I read this in a book. The psyop aspect applies. I will be trying to find it if you want me to post it. Might be tough. It was a prep internet read.
Probably chiseled by pterodactyl on a stone slate.

Don't bother if it would take you a lot of trouble, but if you can find it fairly easily, that does sound interesting.
