English term or phrase: Occult Bureau
Hola,
estoy buscando algún texto en el que se haga referencia a esta especie de departamento de las SS pero no encuentro demasiado.
¿Hay algún nombre oficial?

Gracias

Contexto:
Hitler's spy apparatus under Canaris and Heydrich were well aware of these conduits, particularly from the direction of Britain which had within its MI5 intelligence agency a department known as the ***Occult Bureau***. That these potential sources of trouble were purged from Nazi life should not be taken to mean that Hitler and the Nazi secret societies were not influenced by mystical and occult writers

Spanish translation:Occult Bureau (oficina de análisis de lo oculto/oficina para lo oculto/oficina de ciencias ocultas)
Explanation:
No era un departamento de las SS, sino de los servicios secretos británicos (en este caso, el MI5). Yo dejaría el nombre original, puesto que se trata de una institución sin traducción acuñada, con una explicación al lado. La de arriba es orientativa, seguro que hay formas mejores de expresarlo.
