This article is, as I wrote in the introductory remark, largely a translation of my chapter 3 in my Swedish book "Det svenska ubåtskriget" (Medströms, 2019). However, compared to the chapter, I have also added some changes and corrections. In the book, I wrote that National Underwater Reconnaissance Office (NURO) probably played a significant role for running these operations. This had been implied by several senior actors including a senior White House official and a CIA Deputy Director for Intelligence, which I also discuss in Part II of this article. However, after my conversation with Admiral Bobby Inman in 2021, I had to modify this statement. I am now convinced that the order hierarchy from DCI Casey down to the operations in Sweden did not pass through Naval Intelligence and NURO but went directly to Admiral Lyons and to his PSYOP and deception staff. The Swedish operations were rather run by what Norman Channell (at the Naval Postgraduate School) described as "the Agency crowd and the SOF people", but that will become clear in the second part of this article.
Hej Ola, very interesting all this. But what about the "Soviet Whiskey-class submarine S-363". It did appear in the Stockholm archipelago, didn't it? But you don't mention a word about it in this article. Thx.
