Interesting. For years I have been interested in a minor way in the role that the Balkans states played in WWII, especialy the Waffen-SS/Proto-nationalist movements in the shadow war after the "liberation". I have, unfortunately, little data. I discovered once upon a time that there were "stay behind" units left in the Balkan region after the Germans vacated that region, and that these cells were operated for a while under the sanction of Fremde Herre Ost, The German Intellegence Command in charge of the "foreign Armies -- east". As the NSDAP regime collapsed Fremde Herre Ost defected to the American Army, directly to Allen Dulles, the later head of the CIA. Fremde Herre Ost was then picked up, lock-stock-barrel, all files and personnel, and transferred to Virginia Beach, Virgina, USA. The personnel were demobilized in 1948, the files remain there to this day as far as I know. The point to this is that the US in some form or another were operating covert operations in at least east Europe soon after VE-Day, if not before. I recently read the memoir of US Army officer, a trained lawyer in civilian life, who was a member of the OSS at the end of the war. He operated a cell which amatuerishly gathered intelligence inside Soviet-occupied territory after the collapse of the NSADP regime. Though this was well prior to the official start of the Cold War, he termed himself as one of the first Cold Warrior. I have learned of accounts of some Batic region units being settled in North America, mostly in the US but some in Canada. As this is a dark part of the history of the Twentith Century is it is hard to get information on any of this.
