KMAG did a bang-up job and did suffer some casualties as well as had some 
people captured.  As a sidebar to the latter, some of 8th Army G-3 
Miscellaneous Group's (spec-ops and Partisan) casualties and POW's were 
listed as belonging to KMAG since this was their cover story.

Anyway, there is a good Army Historical Series book on KMAG: KMAG IN PEACE 
AND WAR by Major Robert K. Sawyer that is available through the government 
printing office.
