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
