The report concludes that pigeons were used successfully by the Allies and by the Germans to gather intelligence.  A note follows the report which adds that the Belgian, Dutch, and French Country Sections of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) used pigeons to communicate that their agents had arrived safely.
