The British Services Security Organisation (Germany) (abbreviated as BSSO(G)) was a MI5 sponsored organisation supporting British senior commanders with multi-source security intelligence directed initially at counter espionage, but near the end of its operational life much involved in counter terrorism support.

[4] In 1961 BSSO(G) was refocused on supporting British forces chiefs in Germany rather than collecting at the behest of London.

[5] The first head of BSSO was Major-General Denis Price, CB, CBE.

[6] BSSO(G) had an important role in maintaining liaison with German Federal and State Security Services (i.e. BfV and LfV); in performing this role BSSO(G)'s office in Cologne was vital.

[7] Much of the detail of BSSO(G) operations and relationships especially in the latter stages of its life are still classified[8]
