1: Treasures from the Vault Narrated by René Cutforth
The U.S. Armed Forces Courie,r Centre was a squat concrete building in a guarded corner of Orly Airport, near Paris. Armed military couriers regularly flew in from Washington with top secret documents which were inventoried and locked in the Centre's vault until more armed men arrived to deliver them to destinations in Western Europe. The documents contained the fundamental defence plans of the West, including the cipher systems in which ultra-secret messages were transmitted. The centre seemed to be impenetrable, but by a million-to-one chance the Soviet KGB had a fantastic bit of luck.
