Hello Mike,


As a professional researcher, there must be the positive and negative approach to this subject. The British began collecting German technical intelligence during the war using a special team called T-Force, which was not their official military designation. The T stood for Target and they carried a special ID card that allowed them to go anywhere, seize any building, any personnel, documents, prototypes and anything else. The regular soldiers that observed them were unaware of their status and regarded them as thieves.

As a researcher, I must investigate evidence for and against. I cannot be biased. The British produced B.I.O.S. reports detailing their findings along with interrogation information and sometimes, photographs of what they found. The Hortens worked with Dynamit AG regarding certain types of wood bonding adhesives and they used plastics for glider construction. One report described the use of wood and plastics by other aircraft manufacturers. The Americans created their own T-Force which worked along with the British, which meant that C.I.O.S. reports were also published. Here is an example of a report title:
