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 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
