ABSTRACT
The British Secret Intelligence Service's (SIS) wartime activities are purposefully fraught with difficulty to accurately record or trace. Existing scholarship based on interrogation reports has thus far followed two prevailing trends, while secondly being characterized by an overwhelming concentration on what the British learned about the Germans from the interrogation of captured German spies. On the basis of Andreasen's information, the German SD succeeded in drawing up a comprehensive report on the activities of the British Secret Intelligence Service in Europe. Aage Andreasen's interrogation report lamentably contains no specific references to the methods used by his German interrogators. The first official record of Aage Andreasen's involvement with British intelligence activities in the archives is dated 23 February 1943, and details the extent to which interdepartmental rivalries marred the security of British intelligence operations abroad. Andreasen explained that the Swedish Security Services were keeping track of Hampton and that he was unable to meet with his sources in restaurants.
