AHC: U.N.C.L.E

Sycamore

Banned
The Man from U.N.C.L.E series (and forthcoming film adaptation, scheduled for release in August) centers on a two-man troubleshooting team working for U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement): American Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn), and Georgian (Georgia-USSR) Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum). U.N.C.L.E. was a global organization of agents from many countries and cultures; with several governments, even those ideologically opposed to each other (the USA and the Soviet Union being the primary example) cooperated in forming and operating the U.N.C.L.E. organization, in response to the extreme mutual threat posed by a powerful international terrorist organisation.

Your Alternate History Challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create an ATL in which U.N.C.L.E (basically, an intelligence organization formed in a similar fashion with a similar premise- it doesn't have to be called UNCLE) is actually established (with a POD later than 1945). Extra bonus points if-

A) Every member of the UNSC is involved in the formation and/or operations of this organisation by the present day
B) This organisation is established prior to the end of the Cold War (with both NATO and Warsaw Pact Members)
C) This organisation is established prior to the screening of the first Man From U.N.C.L.E episode IOTL (Sept 22nd 1964), with both the USA and the USSR as founding members.

Up for the challenge?
 
I see two ways of doing this: More Nazis Warcriminals escape after the war and form THRUSH, a organisation that constantly tries to get the Soviet Union and the USA to attack each other. After 2-3 plots are revealed and a CIA/KGB team works together in the field to thwart them of their own initiative, a 'convenient' agreement is reached between both organisations to coordinate and cooperate 'courteously'(i.e., no shooting each other) in dealing with THRUSH and hunting down its leaders. Then Red China has a violent split with the USSR and tries to destroy or render the UN powerless with continual scandal and assassination. Add rogue members of each superpowers' military in dispute with their respective doctrines, splinter crazies with will and means of subversion and a secret treaty could be signed by both the USSR and USA to form the UN organisation.
United Network Command for Law Enforcement is created.
Thee Technological Hierarchy For Removal Of Undesirables And Subjugation Of Humanity would be formed by technocratic Nazism.

The UNCLE 'gun' would be a modded Ingram MAC 10 .380.

THRUSH would use modded M2/3 Autocarbines, various calibers.

Since everybody's DOD is generally 20 years ahead of their current countries' tech level(just not applied due to expense and not deemed needful yet for general release) the gadgets would have their place.

Service pistols with suppressors would be Agents' personal choice.

The cigarette case radio would need a UN communication satellie-"Open Channel D"

Expanding on Scotrich

The Werewolf operations in post-Nazi Germany are more intense. Several high ranking Nazi's escape with the help of Werewolf and ODESSA, the groups eventually merging into THRUSH by 1955. Following joint CIA/KGB/SIS missions in Berlin and Vienna, it's eventually decided to form a unified task force, U.N.C.L.E., which expands rapidly as countries pitch in agents.
