MI19
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MI1 : 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.
At an MI19 interrogation centre in Kensington Palace Gardens, London, known as the "London Cage", German civilians and POWs were 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.
