Who was history's best spy organization ?

Question

I'd say it was the NKVD, the forerunner to the KGB. Known more for it's brutality during Stalin's purges of 1934-38, (about 50% of the original NKVD officers were themselved purged.)

In WW2 they did the following:

They provided Stalin with advance warning of "Operation Barbarossa", even down to the date of June 22. Stalin chose to dismiss it and had some of his forgien spy's executed. Most likley because he knew they were right and he was just pissed about it.

In October 1941, they got specific information on the pending Pearl Harbor attack, right out of the German embassy office in Tokyo. This was crucial for them, they needed to know if Japan was going to attack the Soviet Union. When they found out it was to be America, they sent 1,000,000 troops from Siberia, who ended up pushing the Germans from Moscow the day before Pearl Harbor. Stalin never bothered to make sure that FDR knew.

And finally, they stole the Manhatten Project.

Answer 1

The Italian/Sicilian mafia were the number one for they had networks all over the world, being they were politically connected since Frederick the Great who started the mob, they were in Governments. WWII the only people Hitler feared was the Mafia, and until America made a deal with Charles Luciano who was in jail in Italy, the war would have been continued, for Luciano gave the info to catch Mussolini, and had the Italian army surrender, also their spies got to Hitler with the OSI and other underground info from France. The OSI worked hand and hand with the American agencies as well, for the OSI was a british Spy organization. Stalin feared the mafia as well but he was very arrogant about it and subsequently got his butt kicked in Italy and Greece, and Spain with all his communist infiltrators, however the muslim countries continued to colaborate with the communists for they had previously colaborated with Hitler. During WWII the spies for Russia were never as good, but today the Mafia has changed and the Russians have a strong hold with the illegal crime business, for they have been trying since WWII to attain power and after the wall went down they got a free hand at being slimey and corrupt. But since America has the better technology I would say our spies here know exactly where they are and visa versa.
