Bad Salzuflen is a town and thermal spa resort in the Lippe district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. At the end of 2013, it had 52,121 inhabitants.

Toward the end of March 1945 the British chose Bad Oeyenhausen, Herford and Bad Salzuflen in the eastern part of Westfalia as their zonal headquarters and requested the RAF to keep aerial attacks on this area to a minimum. This area was mainly rural so it did not suffer the extensive damage that the industrial areas saw. Bad Salzuflen was the Post WWII headquarters for the British Secret Intelligence Agency in Germany immediately after the surrender in May 1945 headed by Harold Shergold. - The A to Z of British Intelligence by Nigel West
