British intelligence espionage claim

A May 1923 British intelligence CX report stated:

Some two months ago a special section was formed at the Headquarters of the German Communist Party under the name of "Sektion Kultur Forschung" (known as S.K.F.). Thi is is purely a centre for espionage, to keep a watch on the activities of the German secret organisations on the one hand, and on the measures taken by the armies of occupation in the Ruhr district and Rhine province on the other hand.
The leaders of the S.K.F. are BRANDLER, ******, and the section has the closest relations with the Soviet military espionage headquarters at Lietzenburgerstrasse 11, Berlin W.[2]
