Time out for cool ****.
In April 1944, Joyeuse and his OSS team took part in Operation Sussex, bravely parachuting into occupied France to gather critical intelligence on German installations, military manufacturing facilities, supply depots, and troop movements. Using his
Mark IV radio, Joyeuse transmitted messages to London. The information he relayed allowed Allied air forces to bomb enemy targets before storming the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944 (D-Day).
Ultimately, his resistance network rescued more than 200 Allied aircrew members who were shot down over occupied France – not only helping them to evade capture but also taking extraordinary measures to repatriate them. Joyeuse himself was wounded during a mission and barely escaped capture.
As a result of his brave actions, Joyeuse was personally awarded by General Dwight D. Eisenhower the Nation’s second-highest combat award, the Distinguished Service Cross, for extraordinary heroism against an armed enemy. Joyeuse also received the Légion d’Honneur-Chevalier, the highest military award in France.
