Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (CSDIC) was used for facilities in the UK, the continent { Belgium and Germany between 1945 and 1947 }, the Middle East, and South Asia. They were run by the British War Office on a joint basis involving the British Army and various intelligence agencies, notably MI5 and MI9. The CSDICs on the continent were located at:
- Diest in Belgium
- Bad Nenndorf in Germany.
They were originally established to interrogate detainees, defectors, and prisoners of war who were known or suspected to be working for Nazi Germany and Japan. After the war, suspected Soviet agents were also held for interrogation. The last CSDIC facility, the Bad Nenndorf interrogation centre, was closed down in June 1947.
