Soviet Insight Officer Arnold Deutsch

There were serious issues of security of documents, due to failure to lock up (Wood 4). <br><br>The one serious incident was the hiring of Klaus Fuchs. He was later found, and convicted of obtaining secret documents and sending them to the Soviet Union. A competent and hardworking scientist himself, Fuchs enabled the Soviet Union to create their own atomic bomb (Beyer 45). <br><br>Names were not allowed to be mentioned outside of the laboratory. Everybody was a "sir" or "mister" instead of their own name (Wood 4). Unless they worked at the lab themselves, wives knew nothing of their husbands' research (Wood 4).<br><br>Decisions to drop the atomic bomb went through several personalities, yet ultimately rested upon president Truman. The man whose decisions created the Manhattan Project, never lived to see the results of his labor. FDR died on April 12, three months before the first successful Trinity test (Beyer 56). The responsibilities were soon placed upon Truman, the next president. Truman knew nothing about the bomb and its effects yet hastily decided that the bomb be used on Japan, considering Germany was no longer a target with the war in Europe over. Initiated by Szilard, a petition was made to offer the opinion that the bomb should be used only if Japan refused to surrender, even after being informed of the bomb's destructive capabilities

When the Soviet Union came into possession of a nuclear bomb, the realization that the horrific aftermath, much like the one in Hiroshima, could happen in America struck fear into Americans.

In a nutshell, these arguments surround the notion that Truman had taken over Roosevelt’s policies. These policies were driven by the determination to end the war with minimal U.S. casualties. However, dropping the atomic bombs would also in a sense serve as a “diplomatic bonus” where the Soviets were concerned. Moreover, Bernstein attempts to explain the reasons for why alternative methods hadn’t been seriously considered and whether or not these methods could have been successful at the time (Major Problems in the History of World War II, pg.

Because of all of the fears the Americans obtained from the Soviet Union and their communism, the U.S. government began to scour for Soviet Union spies attempting to purloin top-secret atomic weapons information and deliver it to the Soviet Union to assume their enemy’s next move. According to the text,“Evidence of a spy ring operating within the U.S. was quickly discovered. In 1950, the U.S. learned that David Greenglass, a machinist who assisted in building atomic bombs for the military in New Mexico, had

The Soviet Union first learned of the American atomic bomb how? *through the use of espionage*

The USSR “perceived this as a serious threat” (Brezhkov), in comparison, Stalin's actions were viewed as threats to the West. With increased tensions between the two nations, the Cold War was soon to break out. Moving forward, in the year of 1952, the United States had successfully exploded a new hydrogen bomb “The detonation destroyed the island and sent up a three-mile-wide mushroom cloud” (Glider-Lehrman). Seeing the successful testing of a new bomb, that was supposedly stronger than an atomic one, would put any nation in a defensive state. Amidst the Cold War, the hydrogen bomb test of 1952 would result in the Soviets being constantly aware of the major threat the US has now imposed for many years to come.

Now you may be wondering about who these spies were, well one successful spy was Mary Bowser. There is not a lot of records on Mary, not even her actual birthday. However Mary was a Union spy and known as the best civil war spy. She had her own spy network and got a job as a servant in the confederate white house. She would clean the desk of Davis and was always had one eye our for information. She would use the same bakery man that Miss Van Lewis would use to transfer information. After the civil war Mary became a teacher for the free slaves and all of her records were disposed so she doesn't get

Spies meant a lot to our country and to the British colony.”Bakeless. Spies of the revolution. Place of publication not identified: Harpercollins, 1962. Print”. There is many spies who were caught but some lived to tell their story. No one really knows why someone would risk their life for really nothing in return. But we are glad they did. Now that the spies made history back in the early days of war, spies still exist. They are usually rare because we have so much better technology. Like drones, many bots, etc. Invisible letters are not used in today’s society nor are mask letters. Most likely because of the modern society’s knowledge and they are more cautious than the old days. We would like to

The Rosenbergs were not the first communist spies during the Cold War, or the

Despite his humble background, this mastermind, a man who had “never taken a course in espionage”, was able lay the roots for an anti-Nazi spy network in 1939 that would become one of the most expansive and powerful espionage organizations ever to exist. Leopold Trepper, originally an agent for russian intelligence (GRU), directed seven networks within the organization, known as the “Trepper Group”, which was spread throughout Germany, France, and Belgium. The Trepper Group soon joined with two other spy networks: the Schulze-Boysen/ Harnack group in Berlin, and the Red Three in Switzerland (which was closely affiliated with the Lucy Spy Ring, another anti-Nazi network in Switzerland). Together, they wreaked havoc upon the Nazi empire for the entirety of WWII, eventually earning the name “The Red Orchestra” from the Gestapo. The Red Orchestra was able to contribute to the eventual fall of the Nazi Regime by helping many people targeted by the Nazis to escape to safety, promoting anti-Nazism and resistance, and most importantly, stealing and intercepting German intelligence and giving it to the Allies.

Heinrich Himmler was the Reich SS leader and the Chief of the German police. He was thought to be Hitler's right hand man and carried out many of his wishes, including overseeing the Final Solution.

The Red Orchestra is one of the best-known espionage cases because the records of them were not destroyed. The Red Orchestra was also known as the “Red Three”, because the group consisted of three main branches.: the networks in France, Belgium and Holland (Brown). The Berlin branch was the most well known of them all. The Berlin branch also known as “Lucy” spy ring was well known because of the speed they were able to get information from Germany to the Soviet Union (“THE LUCY SPY’).

For Kipling, it was essential that a successful intelligence organization recruited from a target region employed expert linguists and, where possible, exploited those who already worked in the enemy's senior ranks. The hiring of local Asian agents was common practice. Attachés, consuls and news writers the name given to local spies hired by British political officers gradually became a more permanent arrangement.

Aleksandur Deineka's painting entitled, Stakhanov Workers (Stakhanovites), embodies the Stalinist vision of the good society through the creation of "Homo Sovieticas."  After the Russian Revolution, Stalin and other leaders of the Socialist party wished to transform their tattered and broken country into a global symbol of heightened modernity.  In order to accomplish this mission, Stalin sought to demolish the old social order and reinvent the Russian people into ideal soviet subjects to be used to further the country's modernization process.  According to Stalin, this model citizen, known as "homo sovieticas" possessed the primary identity of a worker while placing all other defining characteristics of an individual aside, including: sex,

Dahl was a gifted writer, but to many, Dahl was unkind and he "could be incredibly insensitive where women were concerned, to the point of being utterly heartless." In the intelligence field of work, being heartless is a useful characteristic, which Dahl was a master at. He worked together with the British Security Coordination, which was run by Stephenson and his staff of "colorful co-conspirators -- including Noël Coward, Ian Fleming, David Ogilvy, and Ivar Bryce -- [who] were all rank amateurs, recruited for their clever minds and connections rather than any real experience in the trade of spying." Many knew them as the Baker Street Irregulars.
