This render was inspired by actual accounts of an espionage operation code-named GREENUP which involved "two Jewish refugees to the United States, living in Brooklyn (Frederick Mayer, 23, and Hans Wijnberg, 22) enlist in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the postwar CIA, and parachute deep behind German lines into the Austrian province of Tyrol in February 1945. Their mission: to compile reports on German rail traffic over the Brenner Pass between Italy and Austria. Any intel they can glean here will give the Allies hints about how the German Army intends to fight in the war’s endgame, whether it will try to circle the wagons in some sort of “Allied redoubt” for a last-ditch fight. The two men are Brooklyn to the core, and they even overlay a map of their New York borough onto that of Tyrol, to have a whole set of code names for various Tyrolean locales that would utterly baffle the Nazis." #wwii #blender #cycles
