Helper Files

In trying to determine who Col. (Colonel) Pons* worked for Annette Tison recommended, that while I was at NARA-II, I should examine Record Group (RG) 322.2.2, Records of Headquarters, Military Intelligence Section X (MIS-X), Escape and Evasion Section Detachment. I was to look for the Portugese Helper file in the theory that information about Col. Pons would be located there.

Unfortunately, the above referenced box did NOT contain a Portugese file. I did not examine the other files in the box.

I speculate that Col. Pons either was employed by the Portugese military or the US Military. He is one of two named officers that interrogated the interned Stamos crew.
