British Intelligence In Wwii

[jimbotosome]

The reason I posted the question here is that the Brits were the kings of intelligence and counterintelligence as far as I am concerned. I believe that the US was good at intel but the Brits had this cleverness and cunning to them that's undeniable. It was almost like a sport to the Brits. I sometimes get the feeling they derived great satisifaction out of duping the Germans and it was fun for the Brits to con the Germans by some trickery just because of the elitist attitudes that were prevelent in the Third Reich. They are like squirrels. No matter what mechanism you put up to keep a squirrel out of a bird feeder, he will always find a way to defeat it.

It's not just the men either. I remember reading the accounts of British women that broke into radio transmissions of the dispatchers of the fighters and getting the German announcers roaring angry by trying to convince the pilots that the actual dispatcher was the enemy agent trying to mislead the fighters for intercept of allied bombers. I was kind of hoping to read some stories along those lines.

Not all the German agents were executed. Some worked for brit. intel. working their radios back to the germans. All are supposed to have been captured. If they weren't how would we know!

The equipt. Section at Bletchley Park was moved to The Fysche and called Station IX, which came under SOE. They designed many explosives and weapons for the resistance, from the Welpen, a .22 ink pen/last resort pistol to explosive packages that were used to demolish the Heavy water plant at Norsk Hydro in occupied Norway.

Operation Quicksilver, and Garbo (Hitlers favourite agent - "turned") Bodyguard plan (D-Day) was the best deception plan ever put into operation during ww2.

Thanks for that Spidge, something else to read up some time.
Anyone have any information on Unternehmen Moewe? Operation Saegull, there were several of these aimed at getting agents into the UK by flying them in by seaplane?
