In this file, subjects documented include indications of Soviet preparedness for war, such as troop movements and propaganda output; armistice negotiations in the Korean War; operations in the First Indochina War; the future of British intelligence in Germany; arrangements for information sharing between NATO members; the worsening diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Egypt; leakages of information to the press in the UK and the United States of America; plans for evasion and escape operations in a future war; and the arrest of Nazi sympathisers in West Germany.
