My mother was born in an Eastern Europian country...as was her father. They fled that country in WW2 and he worked in various capacities during and shortly after the war in "Asia".
My brother has been attempting to gain dual citizenship in the country of my mother's birth...allows certain work and travel benefits for him and his children.
Anyway, to have this done, he needed my mother's complete birth details along with that of her father (my grandfather). So brother hired a good lawyer in this country to organise...Mum's details were easy ebough to get. But he found that my grandfather's complete life records had been sealed...and not due for release until 75 years after the end of the war!
My brother was told by the lawyer this is only generally done for people that have worked as a spy and the sealing of the records is done completely to protect future generations from being targetted by enemies of the state!
So chances are my bloody grandfather was a spy...working for his country throughout Asia during and after WW2. But we'll never really know for certain.

- @mono Nobody is supposed to know that we're a haven for spyhunters. Mum's the word.garbage
- @Nairn in lots of Eastern Europian countries those documents are public by request, there are searchable databases.
they also sealed the docs of informants.******** - a lot of times these "lawyers" just pick up some money and say that the records are gone / sealed.********
