Interesting, but allegedly true story. During WW2, MI6 had a couple of burly Scotsmen who spoke Russian and wore Red Army uniforms. The British Army types would try the nice guy approach with German POW's. If that failed, they'd say they regretted to do so, old chap, but we have to let the Russians talk to you now....
The Germans always broke at that...
