The British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany (BRIXMIS) was a liaison initiative established in 1946. Although ostensibly a diplomatic endeavour, BRIXMIS presented an ideal opportunity for intelligence gathering behind the Iron Curtain, and was exploited as such. This volume includes dispatches and reports on the Soviet military. Many contain information on the movements of the Red Army and activity on and around air bases, with detailed analyses of aircraft and weaponry. Personnel files, some of which deal with defectors to and from Warsaw Pact nations, are also enclosed.
