The "British Baltic Fishery Protection Service (BBFPS)", a cover organization that used high-speed German E-boat s crewed by ex- Kriegsmarine launched from British-occupied Germany to spy on the Soviet Navy in the Baltic Sea , inserted agents into Polanga , Lithuania, Uzava and Ventspils , Latvia, Saaremaa , Estonia, and Ustka , Poland, all typically via Bornholm , Denmark where the final Radio Signal was given from London for the boats to enter the Territorial Waters of the USSR . The boats proceeded to their final destinations (several miles offshore, and known only to the vessels' commanders) under cover of darkness and met with shore parties in Dingy s. Some British agents returning to the UK were received at these Rendez-vous . The operation was severely compromised by Soviet Counter-intelligence , primarily through information provided by British Double Agents . In the extensive counter-operation "Lursen-S" (named for Lürssen , the manufacturer of the E-boats), the NKVD / KGB captured nearly every one of the 42 Baltic agents inserted into the field. Many of them were turned as double agents who infiltrated and significantly weakened the Baltic resistance. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
