  • Newly declassified MI5 files reveal the story of the female spy - Ursula Kuczynski, a Jewish German refugee - who stole Britain’s atomic secrets and gave them away.
    In January 1941, Ursula arrived in Oxford with her children on a British passport. She settles into the daily life of a housewife, but this woman has a secret - she is a Soviet spy.

    The video says that material was so secret it was known to only three -- including Theodore Roosevelt. Wrong. The US president at the time was Franklin Roosevelt. They were of opposing parties, though strangely FDR's wife Eleanor was Teddy's niece. Teddy was of an earlier era, having died in 1919.

    Born in 1917? Gimme a break! Born 15 May 1907. Married in 1920.
    Why am I surrounded by fools and lunatics?

    One feels that is a highly interesting, if a rather unflattering story here, but it feels like it's been badly and historically translated. Was this program originally made for Russian television ? Then re-hashed ?

      ?? If it wasn’t Germany then who was it. Weak knowledge of history.

    Wow! Sonia is Klaus Fuchs' handler. He worked at Los Alamos itself and was friends with the great Richard Feynman.

      Yes, and what a story! The British always fall on their swords, usually for good reasons.

    The other guy i mentioned, an Englishmanwho spied for Russia in 1945 and1946 and later taught physics in Russia, was named Alan Nunn May. However, I searched one article after another in Wikipedia and elsewhere and could not find any mention of him. Apparently the historians of British espionage consider him such small potatoes that they don'y deign to even put him on their spies list. Odd because he gave away many of the secrets of the Manhattan Project, the massive American research project that led to the cretion of the atomic bomb. However, May wasn't Jewish, wasn't foreign born, and wasn;t ever a member of elite Cambridge secret soceties like the Apostiles Club. of which the Cambridge Five, or some of them, were members. Because he didn't have the glamorous upper-class and/or foreign connections of a "real" spy, he never made the list of spies kept by mainly upper-class British historians. So he gave away the store while hardly being mentioned in spy histories.

    Theodore Roosevelt ???? In 1943 as US president???? How could that be possible the man had died in 1919. It was Franklin D Roosevelt his cousin who was president. Theodore Roosevelt was US president from 1901 to March of 1909 becoming president after William H McKinley had been shot and died a month later he was sworn in since he was Vice president at the time serving the rest of McKinley's term and winning the election in November of 1904. Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932 election and was elected four times and died in 1945. He was one of the reasons why the US limited presidential terms to two four year terms.
