France: Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) Activities

2 Oct 1944

A file of correspondence concerning the establishment of British intelligence-gathering networks in liberated France. The letters discuss the growing need to gather political intelligence in France after its liberation from German occupation; the post-war role of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6); the difficulty of creating intelligence networks from scratch, as had to be done during the war; and the lifting of the pre-war ban on covert intelligence operations in France.
