Tony B Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The Humber's were also used during and immeadiatly post war as signal interceptor vehicles and for touring East Germany with BRIXMIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The British Comander in chief's Liasion Mission to Soviet Forces. This was formed in 1945 and continued till 1999 when the Berlin Wall came down. The job was 'liasion' with Soviet Forces in what was then East Germany. The job involved 'Touring' East Germany in marked vehicles, unarmed and no communictaions. French and American forces also did so but the majority were UK. Basically legalised spying. SOXMIS was the Soviet equivalent. Although BRIXMIS was never used to run agents in place, as SOXMIS was none the less they provided a lot of intelligence coups. The job was very hairy including being chased across country by Zil trucks hells bent on crushing you. Try Paul Gerhatty's boox BRIXMIS. One of the Y service vetrans, radio interceptors, told me that they were all set to celebrate on May 8th 1945, and got told no chance, you now begin your new job, listen to what the Russians are up to.
