I began my research into Special Counter Intelligence Units over 25 years ago, and was fortunate enough at that time to be able to correspond with several former X-2/OSS officers who had served in the American units in France. Work prevented me from finishing my research until now – though, in truth, I will probably never stop looking into this intriguing subject. I served with the British Army Intelligence Corps, and following that I worked for both the British Ministry of Defence and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Nothing in the following pages is offered as the official view of the current British government or any of its departments. In the following pages I will try to set out the history, role and organization of the SCI units, though I will first give some background to the intelligence environment which helped create and develop them.
Special Counter Intelligence Units (SCIUs or SCI Units are terms also used throughout this book) were devised by MI6’s Section V, its Counter Espionage arm, in order to penetrate the enemy intelligence services in the Field. They were aided in this by MI6’s control of ULTRA, and in particular, a sub-set of decryptions known as ISOS and ISK, which will be defined further in the following chapters. MI6 had this control because the Government Code and Cypher School (GCCS) at Bletchley Park was subordinated to the Intelligence Service. Section V expanded rapidly from 1940, as the implications and possibilities became more apparent following the successful breaking of Abwehr ciphers. In addition to using cipher, the Germans also used service jargon and codenames for officers, agents, operations and equipment. Section V officers in neutral countries were able to confirm and help further interpret the deciphered messages. Once military operations were in planning for North Africa and Europe, MI6 recognized the need for a military field unit which could act on sensitive ISOS information and begin penetrating the GIS using both double agents and Controlled Enemy Agents (CEAs) – most of the latter being agents using wireless transmitter (W/T) sets for communication with their German handlers.
