Censorship: Spain; Leaking of Information

27 Jun 1944

A short file of papers discussing Spanish collaboration with the German intelligence services. They include a memorandum reporting that recent German reports on the effects of V1 attacks on London had come from the Spanish air attaché in London, and an answering letter suggesting that the bulk of this report was false, and that German agents sometimes invented details if they were not able to discover the required information.
