Both sides agreed that the USSR was the main intelligence target. However, the British "are placing a higher priority on activities inside Germany than SSU; but their activities have a different emphasis. They appear to be concerned with building up inside the British Zone and elsewhere in Germany a long range under cover series of contacts and agents which will serve their interests after the Allied occupation of Germany is over."
