A file of reports concerning the British view of developments within Germany. The documents contain a series of British intelligence summaries of activities within Germany during 1954, produced monthly between January and March, and bi-monthly thereafter. The summaries discuss general trends within the two Germanies; the activities of various Eastern-bloc intelligence services and their role in undermining the security of West Germany; an in-depth study of the role of communist organisations in both the control of East Germany and the infiltration of West Germany; and the developments within "Extreme Right-Wing" political organisations" based in either of the two states. The documents also comment on disruptions in the process of inter-zonal movement between East and West; the strength and positions of Eastern-bloc military forces in East Germany; and the defections of police from East Germany to West Germany.
