Subjects covered in this file include Soviet attempts to entice German scientists to the Soviet zone of occupied Germany; a proposed exchange of military missions between the British and Soviet zones; British intelligence organisation in the Middle East and East Asia; the provision of press material from the U.S.S.R. and its satellites; the publication of histories of the Second World War; the strength of the Japanese communist party; the security of signals transmissions within the United Kingdom; and the release of the locations where V-weapons fell in the United Kingdom.
