BRIXMIS: The Last Cold War Mission
BRIXMIS (The British Commander-In-Chief's Mission to the Group Soviet Forces of Occupation In Germany) is one of the most little-known and covert elite units of the British Army. They were dropped behind 'enemy lines' ten months after the second world war ended and remained operating their intelligence gathering missions until the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989.
During this time Berlin was a hotbed of spying between East and West. BRIXMIS was established as a legitimate channel of communications between the Red Army and the British Army. It's 'clean status' made BRIXMIS a key part of the Cold war.
However, their missions were covert and they acted behind the shadows to steal advanced soviet equipment and penetrate top-secret training areas. This unique history of this most elite of units offers a new understanding of the British role in the Cold War.
