[[British Intelligence]] refers to the various intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom, including the [[Secret Intelligence Service]] (MI6). During World War II, British Intelligence engaged in a variety of unconventional warfare tactics, including the use of black propaganda and psychological operations.[^1]
One notable example was the use of astrologers like [[Sybil Leek]] and [[Louis de Wohl]] to spread disinformation and influence the behavior of high-ranking Nazi officials. These operations highlight the willingness of intelligence agencies to exploit beliefs in the paranormal for strategic advantage.[^1]
One documented example is the work of the astrologer [[Louis de Wohl]], whom the National Archives catalogue describes as a professional astrologer who worked for the [[Special Operations Executive]].[^2] Jacobsen wrote that [[Sybil Leek]] was another astrologer used in British operations against the Nazi leadership.[^1]
