Wow - The Odessa. Now, for those of us of a certain age, I'm sure that
brings a very strong meaning.
Means literally nothing to me. Reminds me of Andy Williams for some odd
reason. Must be the similar song/cover title...
Odessa was supposedly a secret organisation of SS Nazi's set up towards
the end of WW2, it was an acronym in german.
Google, google..... Organisation der ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen
Nice article on Wikipedia

"The Odessa File" was a book by Frederick Forsyth, later made into a
movie (1972 I think), it dealt with a journalist tracking down an ex-SS
officer.
Hang on..... Ah there it is, it was 1974 it's on IMDB

Very good movie, one of the few that do the original book justice.
There you go, more than you ever wanted to know about Odessa
