MI19

MI19

MI19 was a division of the British Directorate of Military Intelligence, part of the War Office. In World War II it was responsible for obtaining information from enemy prisoners of war.

It was originally created in December 1940 as MI9a, a sub-section of MI9. A year later, in December 1941, it became an independent organisation, though still closely associated with its parent.Foot, M.R.D, & J.M. Langley, "MI9: Escape & Evasion 1939-1945" (Book Club Associates, 1979)]

MI19 had Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centres (CSDIC) at Beaconsfield, Wilton Park and Latimer as well as a number overseas. [Oliver Hoare, "Camp 020: MI5 and the Nazi Spies - The Official History of MI5's Wartime Interrogation Centre, PRO 2000 ISBN 1-903365-08-2"] At an MI19 interrogation centre in Kensington Palace Gardens, London, known as the "London Cage", German civilians and POWs were allegedly tortured. At least one German war criminal was convicted and executed based on a confession made under MI19 torture. Several others were convicted and executed based on MI19 evidence extracted from others under torture. Fact|date=July 2007
