Christos military and intelligence corner: Don't trust the fax comrade!

Don?t trust the fax comrade!

The wireless transmission of images was used by WWII participants for military purposes and by their news agencies. However radio-fax communications could be intercepted? During WWII the Soviet Union had several radio-facsimile stations. Their transmissions were intercepted by the German signal intelligence agencies OKH/GdNA Group VI and Wa Pruef 7/IV. According to postwar reports they contained ?hand-written communications, typewritten texts, drawings, and weather maps? and ?technical diagrams and charts?.
This wasn?t the last time that radio-fax communications of communist countries were compromised. According to Matthew M. Aid?s ?The secret sentry?, p142 after the USS Pueblo was captured by the North Koreans in 1968 a USAF listening post in Japan intercepted its top secret documents being transmitted on the Pyongyang-Moscow radio-facsimile link.
