  Alfred Redl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redl is thought to have passed a great deal of information to the Russian Okhrana, including plans for a future Austro-Hungarian offensive against Serbia.
When informed of his exposure, Redl committed suicide by gunshot, which was regretted both by Emperor Franz Josef, who would have preferred that Redl avoid dying in mortal sin, and by Austrian Intelligence, which would have preferred to interrogate him on the exact extent of his betrayal.
Redl's treason is thought to have contributed to the defeats Austria-Hungary suffered in the early months of World War I, since the plans for the attack on Serbia were quite complete and could not easily be changed in the time between Redl's suicide and the onset of the war.

 glbtq >> social sciences >> Redl, Alfred
Alfred Redl rose from poverty to the highest rank in the Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the politically tumultuous years of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Alfred Redl was born on March 14, 1864, in Lemberg, Galicia.

Since Redl left no known detailed confession of the activities of his final days, the so-called "accepted account" has followed from the contentious and perhaps sensationalized account of Egon Erwin Kisch ("Der Fall des General-Stabschefs Redl" 15-21; "The Case of the Chief of the General Staff Redl" 167-73), the first reporter on the case.
Redl is also fair to Dr. Sonnenschein, to whom he is very friendly, conveying to us that he is not anti-Semitic, and thus aligning himself with the liberalizations of the Emperor.
Redl is not presented as scheming, his character is never given that degree of interiority that Szabó in his statements continually wishes to grant him.
