1942. Document of Office of Strategic Services related to the Slav Congress in USA.
As a means to build up pro-Allied sentiment among America's various Eastern European immigrant communities, a "Slav Congress" was held, with delegations arriving from the most prominent groups. Office of Strategic Services informant "SK" attended and reported on internal dissension behind the scenes. It should be noted that the administration at the time wanted all groups attending the congress to form a united front, aimed at the Axis powers, and to put their disagreements aside for the duration of the war. They were aware, however, of similar efforts being made in Moscow (culminating in Stalin's absurdly anachronistic "Pan-Slavic Institute") and sought to protect the delegates from possible Soviet agents.
