Abstract
In 1951, British and U.S. counterintelligence in occupied Austria uncovered an intelligence network of Czechoslovakian informants run by a recruited Austrian, Rudolf Vala. This network had been active for nearly two years and had spied on British occupation troops in Carinthia. This network has files from the British, U.S., Czech, and Austrian sides. They provide insight into Czech human intelligence operations in Austria, their methods, and their goals. Cases are analyzed by comparing the four pieces of documentation available and putting them in the context of intelligence in early Cold War Austria. Austrians were recruited for such activities, which shows how their operations were managed (mainly from outside the country at that time), what role the Soviet occupation played in these activities, what their targets were, and what role Austria itself played in such activities.
