Spy's family wants records public
Updated on 20 September 2007
The relatives of an Austrian who spied for Britain during the war want MI6 to release his file.
He was, it is believed, one of the most important spies of the second world war: an Austrian physicist, horrified by the Nazis, who provided Britain with vital intelligence on the German war machine.
But the story of Paul Rosbaud remains shrouded in mystery, his MI6 file still sealed.
Tomorrow that could change, as his nephew goes to a special hearing to try to force the intelligence service to make the records public.
