ABSTRACT
The role of NATIS in the information and intelligence fields is relevant for two reasons: first, the Service acted as a forum for the exchange of ideas and methods and for the coordination of information policies among its members. Research into NATIS therefore offers a privileged point of view to understand how anti-communist propaganda and intelligence developed in the West and to what degree a coordinated response was achieved. Second, NATIS itself carried out its own response to the antiNATO communist campaigns and produced a wide range of material including publications, conferences, travelling exhibitions, short films, newsreels and radio and TV broadcasts.
