This particular case stands out because of the far-reaching damage this spy did to Western intelligence, though it is possible to cite many lesser examples. The name of the Soviet double agent—a former SS Obersturmführer who had once led Nazi gangs during the 1938 night of looting and temple burnings known as the Kristallnacht—is Heinz Felfe. Felfe never would have gotten into the Gehlen Organization in the first place had he not been a Nazi and an SS man.
