British security services' activities in the USA, 1940-1945

Collection: Secrecy, Sabotage, and Aiding the Resistance: How Anglo-American Cooperation Shaped World War II    Volumes    British security services' activities in the USA, 1940-1945
These items cover British operations inside the United States. Many of these papers focus on the surveillance and assessment of groups within the US. Groups of interest included Italian anti-fascists and hostile nationalists from the America First Committee, as well as Basque organisations. American relations with the Austrian legion and co-operation with Russia were also of interest. As the war progressed, these papers would change focus to cover Anglo-American trade and diplomacy.
