He was the greatest German of world war II, but little known, lonely to death, do you know who it was?
In March 2001, the British Sunday Times and the American media published a remarkable historical truth: a spy who was ambushed in the Nazi German Foreign Office during World War II provided the Allies with invaluable information ranging from the german army's combat plans, the Japanese naval deployment, and the truth of the Nazi Holocaust. In declassifying the intelligence, the U.S. State Department commented that the information provided by X brought the European theater of World War II to an early end, saved countless lives, and dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese Navy, and that he was the real number one spy in World War II.
X was born in 1900 in Berlin, Germany, to a lower-class family, the father is an upright saddler, attaches great importance to the education of children, when X was a child, his father often said to him "to do good", "the main disadvantage of the German is obedience", "to be loyal to themselves, love freedom, do not blindly follow". After graduating from high school, X worked in the railway department, but he was not satisfied with just being a small clerk who wrote and arithmetic, and through amateur studies, he was admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and because of his sense of responsibility and diligence, he was promoted to the head of the Political and Military Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Karl. Ritter's assistant, who at this time gradually had a clear and clear understanding of the war waged by the Nazis, opposed this war, opposed Hitler's inhumane genocide of the Jews, and he decided to use it as Karl Hitler. Ritter's assistants, with favorable access to many classified documents, secretly provided the enemy nazis with intelligence-valuable Foreign Ministry documents to help them end this criminal war as soon as possible and build a new and peaceful Germany.
cal. Ritter, a liaison between the German Foreign Office and the Nazi military, had a large number of classified documents such as military operations details, foreign espionage, and secret negotiations on his desk. Every day, X helps Little sort out the telegrams he receives, writes summaries, and then destroys them or documents. X took advantage of various opportunities to steal top-secret information, sometimes he secretly took the documents home and copied them, first by hand, then changed to photographs, and took advantage of the opportunity to destroy the documents, he photographed them by the way.
In August 1943, X was given the opportunity to travel on official business — to Bern, the capital of Switzerland, as a diplomatic courier. Realizing that this was the perfect opportunity to relay information, X unlocked the office door from the inside, took off his pants, tied two large envelopes filled with top-secret documents to his laps, and wrapped them in his underwear. At 8:20 p.m. on the 15th, he boarded a train to Bern, where he could be caught at any moment, but he was lucky enough to avoid the search. On 22 August, he first went to the British consulate in Bern, Switzerland, and asked by name to meet with the top head of the consulate's intelligence department. Intelligence officers immediately brought him into the consulate head of the intelligence department Henry. In Colonel Carterwhite's office, Carterwhite coldly glanced at the German who claimed to be a senior official of the Nazi German Foreign Office, and glanced at the documents he had brought claiming to be top secret intelligence, because the documents were so amazing that the British colonel could not believe the contents, so he concluded that this was a trap set by the Nazis, so he coldly pointed to the door of his office and drank: "Sir, don't think of me as a fool, I know that you are a double agent who wants me to fall into a trap." I won't be fooled, please get out immediately. Half a century later, history proves that this British colonel was the number one fool who drove out the greatest spies of the Second World War and left Britain with regret for the rest of his life.
On the 23rd, after being driven away by the British, X decided to try it out for the Americans, and the American liaison officer in Bern, Switzerland, Rad. Meyer was equally suspicious of his intelligence, but instead of rejecting it as the British did, he decided to arrange for Alan, the head of the U.S. Intelligence Strategy Agency, to do so that night. Dulles met with this German official, Alan. Dulles couldn't believe his eyes, a humble fellow, in front of him a large number of copies of top-secret documents of incalculable intelligence value, Dulles knew that these situations would be of great help to the Allies.
Because the material provided by X was so valuable that the Allies became suspicious of the veracity of the information, many suspected that X was the German bait to lure the Allies in the wrong direction. In August 1943, American intelligence experts immediately conducted a careful study of the intelligence brought by X, and they first vigorously debated whether X could be a trap set by Nazi Germany. But they concluded that this was true top-secret information about Nazi Germany. This information was then quickly sent to the hands of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who, upon seeing it, concluded that it was absolutely true, and immediately pointed out that X should be developed into the most important spy installed by the United States in Germany, and the U.S. Strategic Service Office decided to officially use X as an American spy lurking in the Nazi German Foreign Office, code-named "George W. Bush" in the United States. "During the war, X provided the Allies with 1,600 pieces of intelligence, which had to be packed in several huge boxes, stacked up to a height of 10 meters. The U.S. government's official assessment of the value of the information provided by X after declassification was that it saved countless lives and shortened the time of World War II in the European theater.
Until the end of World War II, X's identity as a spy was not revealed, and after the war, he continued to work for the Americans in Berlin, helping the U.S. military to find the Nazis who were hiding, but X eventually appeared as a witness at the Nuremberg trials, but it buried his intention to return to the new Foreign Ministry, which was still full of officials who had worked under the Nazis, who regarded X as a lackey of the Allied forces and a traitor to the motherland, saying that he was an "unreliable guy". X also failed to work in the rest of the bureaucracy in the Federal Republic of Germany, he lost his job, friends and reputation, and for many years after the war X was regarded as a "traitor" in his own country, and his name is not mentioned in any history books. In desperation, X came to the United States, but there he did not make good luck, only to find a job in Switzerland to sell American chainsaws. It's hard to live, and it's lonely to end up alone. From then until his death, no one knew where he was, and it's worth mentioning that throughout his life, X never received any remuneration for his espionage work. Why would X be willing to risk his life as an Allied spy? In X's own words: "My aim is for my unfortunate compatriots to end the war as soon as possible and to avoid further suffering for prisoners in concentration camps." ”
During World War II, the unsung hero who fought against the Nazis at the risk of his life and the Germans, the greatest spies of the Allies, who fought entirely on the basis of their conscience without any help, seemed to have disappeared forever. For reasons of confidentiality, various departments of the U.S. government have not mentioned anything about X Super Spies for more than 50 years after the war. X died in obscurity in 1970, and no one publicly acknowledged his contribution to the Second World War, and many Germans even still consider him a traitor to this day, but X has no regrets about what he did, and for X, the recognition is firm: "He is not a traitor, Hitler is a traitor, Hitler and his rule should be overthrown, and a new democratic Germany will be established." ”
To this day, X is finally known to the world, his name is "Fritz. Corbe", a Lonely World War II Hero to Death.
