Actually, wouldn't it have been disputed by now if not true? The story you cite has been repeatedly disputed. Do you honestly believe that common soldiers could simply "decide to keep a print" of films handled as part of work in an Intelligence office? In one story, told to Israelis, he was there; in another story, he just happened to have the footage handy to convince a doubter. I don't believe either for a minute. The man's job in the military was providing voice-overs for training films. That is well documented. In no way dishonorable in itself, but his insistence on wanting to remember it as something it was not seems a bit odd. If he really was doing "Intelligence Work" don't you think one of his biographers would have noted that? He did to a series of postwar movies in which he played an agent in the Air Secret Service, or something like that. Probably this is the experience being referred to. I'll bet Wills has. Korda and Shuster surely did. If there is no citation, you have to assume they didn't look.
