  Stewart Menzies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stewart Graham Menzies was born in London into a wealthy family.
By being responsible for distributing the ULTRA material to other arms of the British government, Menzies was able to achive a position of some power within the British government, which he used shamelessly to aggrandize the power of MI6.
Menzies resigned in 1952 and retired to rural Gloucestershire.

 Major-General Sir Stewart Graham Menzies
Menzies was later credited with being one of the few intelligence chiefs who could maintain a working relationship with the demanding Churchill, the SOE, the Chiefs of Staff, the OSS and the French.
Menzies' gift for intuition was remarkable in that while it never seemed to range over the rank and file of his staff, or even over his junior executives, it frequently showed almost clairvoyant qualities in assessing men he had never even met.
While Menzies 'bathed in the reflecting glory cast upon him by the work of the boffins and eggheads at Bletchley...the truth was that SIS could not claim exclusive responsibility for any of the major intelligence coups of the war'.

Philby advises SIS Chief Stewart Menzies that Canaris can easily be assassinated by SOE (Special Operations Executive) agents because he is known to visit Spain frequently.
On one occasion Philby reports to Menzies that Canaris would be passing through the town of Manzanares and is bound to stay at the Hotel Parador where a couple of grenades can easily be tossed into his room.
But Menzies is not prepared to lose Trevor-Roper or run the risk of the affair being leaked to the public.

One family of Stewarts are descended from a natural son of Robert II., and there are two Stewart families that seem to be connected with the Stewarts of Appin who were a younger branch of the Stewarts before the senior line succeeded to the Throne.
Menzies have all been sold within recent years, and the family seems to be extinct in the male line, but for many centuries the Menzies family, from the position they held and the extent of their possessions ranked next in importance to the Dukes of Atholl and the Earls of Breadalbane.

Where the Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (M16), Major-General Sir Stewart Menzies (pronounced 'Mingiss'), celebrated 'Victory in Europe' (VE) day is not known, but it is more than likely that he was standing at the bar of White's Club in St James's where much of the informal business of intelligence work was still undertaken.
Menzies was appointed head of M16's Military and German sections, reaching the rank of colonel in 1932.
Menzies, for one, realised that besides its astute control over the code-breaking successes, M16's reputation rested on the 'significant contribution' of the Special Counter-Intelligence (SCI) units, whose function was to 'receive, record and use certain information emanating from specially secret sources' -- i.e.

As head of British intelligence, Menzies lobbies hard to persuade his government that helping the German conspirators is in England's best interest.
His appeals fall on deaf ears or are thwarted by the sabotaging efforts of Soviet mole and double-agent Kim Philby who has far greater influence at the policy-making level.
Like his American counter-part, William Donovan, Menzies opposes the strict Allied policy of unconditional surrender.

An alarmed Liddell asked Sir Stewart Menzies, the head of MI6, if a nuclear threat could be used against Hitler.
Liddell and Sir Stewart - referred to as "C" - were among the few people in Britain who knew that the Allies were developing an atomic weapon.
The documents do not record the result of Sir Stewart's discussion with Churchill; however, the suggestion came at a time when Britain was already engaged in a campaign of destruction - "area bombing" - against German cities.

 Britain Planned To Threaten Hitler With Nuclear Bomb
The nuclear idea was put forward by Guy Liddell, head of MI5's counter-espionage branch during the war, whose diaries have been released by the Public Records Office and carried by newspapers Sunday.
It came in an entry in which Liddell recorded a conversation with Sir Stewart Menzies, then head of MI6.
"I saw (Menzies) today about the uranium bomb and put to him the suggestion that it should be used as a threat of retaliation to the Germans if they used the V2," Liddell wrote in August 1944.

 Spy Chief Urged Churchill To Threaten Nazis With Atom Bomb
On August 25, he saw the MI5 head, Sir Stewart Menzies, about the issue: "I put to him the suggestion that it should be used as a threat of retaliation to the Germans if they used V2.
However, [he said] there was nothing to lose and said he would put the suggestion to the PM, who might take it up on his visit to Roosevelt, which is due to take place early next month.
In advocating a nuclear threat, Liddell and Menzies were either apparently urging a policy based on sheer bluff - or were unaware that work to develop a uranium-based bomb was nowhere near ready.

Menzies was a master at using his political and social connections to win time and eventual survival for SIS, indeed so successful was he that in 1946 he persuaded the Labour Government to close down SOE and transfer its best staff and most promising operations to SIS.
Menzies retired in 1953 saddened and exhausted by over thirty-seven years in intelligence.
