Operation Jungle was a program by the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) early in the Cold War (1948–1955) for the clandestine insertion of intelligence and resistance agents into Poland and the Baltic states. The agents were mostly Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian refugees who had been trained in the UK and Sweden and were to link up with the anti-Soviet resistance in the occupied states (the Forest Brothers). However, the KGB penetrated the network and turned most of the agents.
