1 Jan 1946

CONFIDENTIAL. CHIEFS OF STAFF COMMITTEE. Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee. SOME WEAKNESSES IN GERMAN STRATEGY AND ORGANISATION, 1933-1945. Report by the Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee. IN March 1945 the flow of intelligence which we were obtaining from the interrogation of German prisoners-of-war and from captured German documents had reached such proportions that we thought it useful to begin the preparation of a report on German Strategy, so as to check from German sources the various appreciations which we had submitted to the Chiefs of Staff earlier in the war.
