Buero Ha

Buero Ha also known as Bureau Ha was a Swiss intelligence agency that was established in September 1939 by Swiss Militia and Major Hans Hausamann.[1]

History

Buero Ha was established as an independent agency by Hausamann because he feared the during the period that led up to the war and in the event of a war, that the official intelligence agency, the Swiss Army Intelligence would be too small to defend Switzerland.[2]

Closure

In 1949, Buero Ha was closed.[3]
