As described in ''The Hidden Hand'' by Richard Aldrich on page 414, it involved starving the Soviets of toilet paper. This led them to use official documents as toilet paper. The US, UK and France then used their spies to retrieve the documents as the paper was not soluble and was put into bins. The spies actually complained to their handlers that they had to go through the bins that contained fecal matter and even amputated limbs, in the case of hospital rubbish bins. When the spies told their handlers this, the handlers immediately asked them to bring back the limbs as well so they could study what type of shrapnel the Soviets were using. According to Tony Geraghty, ''to tamarisk'' was BRIXMIS jargon for "sifting through the detritus of military exercises".〔Geraghty, T (1996). ''Beyond the frontline'', page 208. HarperCollins.〕 This included extracting shrapnel from tissue disposal sites at hospitals and salvaging documents used as toilet paper where no actual toilet paper had been issued, but also less disgusting finds such as a discarded personal notebook containing technical drawings.〔Geraghty, T (1996). ''Beyond the frontline'', page 209. HarperCollins.〕 Leslie Woodhead was told that it was one of the most successful espionage operations in the entire cold war.〔Radio Netherlands (mp3 (at 30m50s) )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Operation Tamarisk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
