The term Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (CSDIC) was used for facilities in the

UK, the continent (Belgium and Germany) between 1942 and 1947, the Middle East, and South

Asia. They were run by the British War Office on a joint basis involving the British Army and various

intelligence agencies, notably MI5 and MI9.

They were originally established to interrogate detainees, defectors, and prisoners of war who were

known or suspected to be working for Nazi Germany and Japan. After the war,

suspected Soviet agents were also held for interrogation. The last CSDIC facility, the Bad Nenndorf

interrogation center, was closed down in June 1947.1
