This series consists of a collection of registered and unregistered papers originating in the Office of the Permanent Under-Secretary of State, (PUS) of the Foreign Office and the Permanent Under-Secretary's Department, (PUSD) relating to liaison with the intelligence services. These records are principally concerned with intelligence related matters and with foreign and defence policy issues, where information was collected and received by covert means.
There are records relating to Rudolf Hess during his time as a prisoner of war. The Hess papers are principally records of conversations between Hess and various British officials after his flight to Scotland on 10 May 1941, and translations of personal letters to and from his family and friends spanning the period 1941-1945. During this time Hess was held at the Prisoner of War Reception Station in Abergavenny.
