Tuesday, September 01, 2009

Source: MI5 Security Service


The National Archives has released another 140 historical Security Service files today, adding to over 4,000 already on public display.

The files cover a roughly equal number of subjects from the inter-war period, the Second World War and the Cold War era, dealing with topics such as German and Soviet intelligence agents and officers, right-wing extremists and Communists or suspected Communists.

Among the individuals covered by the files are Hitler’s deputy Martin Bormann; the actor and director Sam Wanamaker; Wilhelm von Rauter, a German spy in America detected by the British Imperial Censorship Service; leading scientists Lord Solly Zuckerman, Sir Benjamin Lockspeiser and Geoffrey Pyke (the cousin of Magnus Pyke); the architect Graeme Shankland; and William King-Hall, the MP and founder of the Hansard Society.
