 A Review From The Cyber Rambler
Sorge, a devout, albeit "closet", communist during years when the Nazis rose to power, was a newspaperman turned spy.
It was Sorge, as well, who informed the regime in Moscow that Japan would not attack along the Soviet front, but would move instead against the Americans in the Pacific, thereby releasing Stalin from the burden of defending his border with Japanese occupied Manchuria.
Sorge was eventually found out and executed by the Japanese, but not before his greatest piece of intelligence was ignored by the paranoid Stalin, who refused to believe that a German spy could be anything other than a double agent, and that Sorge's information was not misinformation.

Until, that is, a message was received from Sorge in Tokyo informing the Kremlin that Japan was not going to attack, that it had resisted German pressure to strike north at Siberia and was instead going to send its troops southwards.
