Despite the "Buster" Crabbe fiasco in Portsmouth, MI6 remained determined to hunt the ship down. In 1959 she was due to dock in Stockholm, and MI6 learned that the Swedish Signals Intelligence Service were planning to operate against her. The local MI6 Station Chief suggested to the Swedes that Britain might be prepared to offer advanced technical assistance. Although nominally neutral, the Swedish sigint organization retained informal secret liaison with GCHQ, and they gratefully accepted the offer.
I went to Stockholm to plan an Engulf operation against the Ordzhonikidze cipher machine in 1959. I scuttled along the dockyard in the dead of night, disguised as a Swedish engineer, accompanied by two burly local sigint technicians. We also had two GCHQ people with us. We ducked into a warehouse opposite the Ordzhonikidze, and made our way upstairs to the operations room, where the engulf equipment had been delivered. 143
Although we detected some cipher noises, we were never able to break the cipher, but MI6 and GCHQ judged the whole operation a success. 143
In 1959, a new discovery was made which resuscitated venona again. GCHQ discovered that the Swedish Signals Intelligence Service had taken and stored a considerable amount of new wartime traffic, including some GRU radio messages sent to and from London during the early years of the war. GCHQ persuaded the Swedes to relinquish their neutrality, and pass the material over for analysis. The discovery of the Swedish hasp material was one of the main reasons for Arthur's retum to D1. He was one of the few officers inside MI5 with direct experience of venona, having worked intimately with it during the Fuchs and Maclean investigations. 235-6
The HASP GRU material, dating from 1940 and 1941, contained a lot of information about Soviet penetration of the various émigré and nationalist movements who made their headquarters in London during the first years of the war. 301
FLUENCY spent years trying to unravel the riddle that lay in the three connected threads of Volkov's "Acting Head"; Gouzenko's "Elli"; and the venona with its eight cryptonyms, each of which came together in that one week in September 1945. 359
Overnight a huge chunk of hasp traffic was broken. The GRU traffic was similar to much that we had already broken. But there was one series of messages which was invaluable. The messages were sent from the GRU resident Simon Kremer to Moscow Center, and described his meetings with the GRU spy runner Sonia, alias Ruth Kuzchinski. 472
