Russians 'lied' about death of diplomat who saved Jews from Holocaust
A Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust, was actually still alive after his Soviet captors reported his death in a Moscow prison, according to new Russian archive evidence. Swedish and American researchers have unearthed new facts surrounding the fate of Raoul Wallenberg, whose disappearance after his January 1945 arrest in Budapest by the Red Army has remained one of the great mysteries of the Second World War.

The Soviets claimed he was executed on July 17 1947 but no reliable proof of death has ever been found for a man celebrated as a hero for saving up to 100,000 Hungarian Jews from the Nazi death camps.

Unverified eye witness reports that Wallenberg continued to live either as a prisoner in Soviet forced labour camps or was secretly confined in Moscow's notorious Lubyanka jail continued into the 1980s.

Now, new archives from Russia Federal Security Service (FSB) have identified "with great likelihood" a man described only as Prisoner Number Seven, who was interrogated six days after the diplomat's officially reported death, as Wallenberg.

The FSB reported the find last November to Susanne Berger and Vadim Birstein, two members of a research team that conducted a 10-year investigation into Wallenberg's disappearance in the 1990s....As Sweden's envoy in Budapest from July 1944, Wallenberg prevented the deportation of at least 20,000 Jews destined for Nazi concentration camps or death factories. He also prevented German officers occupying the Hungarian capital from carrying out plans to destroy the city's Jewish ghetto, averting a massacre of its 70,000 residents.

He was arrested the day after the Soviet Red Army seized the city, along with his Hungarian driver Vilmos Langfelder.

The Russians never explained why they detained him but the Swedish diplomat's involvement with America's wartime secret service, confirmed by the CIA in the 1990s, is thought to be the pretext for the arrest.

Ove Bring, professor in international law at the National Defense College in Stockholm, has called for the Wallenberg case to be reopened....

Wallenberg was detained by the Soviets for the sake of prisoner exchange and he died of heart attack in his prison cell in 1947 before the deal was made with Sweden. He received food rations of the highest food level in the hierarchy of prisoners in Lefortovo, which indicates that he was treated extremely well compared to other POWs in Soviet prison camps. It was recently confirmed that Wallenberg was on the OSS payroll and he was "an important American intelligence asset, rare in that part of the world at that time," which made him an important asset for the KGB as well.
.

Over the years, U.S. officials have maintained that Wallenberg worked for the WRB, not the OSS--and thus was not a spy. Nevertheless, the name Wallenberg appears on the roster of those who "worked for OSS in one capacity or another," as one archivist explains. It is a two-volume computer printout of some 2,000 names, kept in the National Archives. Another archivist cautions that being listed "does not absolutely mean that the person worked for the OSS," though "the great majority" were OSS officers, agents and assets. "The printout is the closest thing we have to an OSS roster."

Asserts one former OSS officer: "Wallenberg was not on the OSS payroll." He spent WRB money but did not take a U.S. salary, "thus technically, he was not an OSS agent." But OSS clearly was instrumental in placing him where he was and received assistance from him in a variety of intelligence areas in his quest to both save Jews and fight Nazis. Whether he was an espionage "agent" by today's definition--contractually engaged and remunerated--mattered little at the time. "OSS people and others who fought that war on the intelligence front would have laughed at our efforts now to distinguish between an agent who got paid and someone who helped us out, inspired by his beliefs," says ex-CIA official Jameson. After reviewing the declassified files, Jameson says he has no doubt that the Swede was "an important American intelligence asset, rare in that part of the world at that time."

THE CAPTURE "The Soviets doubtless knew Olsen's OSS affiliation," says McCargar, a Russia specialist. "They must have known of his meetings with Wallenberg." That made Wallenberg a marked man.

As the Red Army marched into Budapest, Wallenberg insisted that he be taken to headquarters. After spending the night there, he went to collect papers to take to a meeting with the Soviet high command. The following day he drove to the international ghetto, escorted by three Soviet soldiers on a motorcycle equipped with a sidecar. He saw a few of his proteges, still wearing yellow stars, venturing outside. He ran into Laszlo Peto--a childhood friend from a Swiss summer camp--and told him he planned to go to Debrecen, the regional Soviet headquarters, to ask for food and medicine for the ghetto, and would return in a week.

"He was supremely confident," remembers Peto, reached at his home in Brazil. "He quipped about not being sure if he was the Russians' guest or prisoner. But that was a joke. He could have escaped easily." Nothing is known about what happened in Debrecen--or if he ever got there. By late January, he was in Moscow's Lubyanka prison.

Testimony by Nazi prisoners offers what little certainty exists in the next chapter of the Wallenberg saga. Wallenberg's cellmate Gustav Richter told Swedish officials the Swede had traveled for five days by train from Hungary to Moscow, writing notes the Soviets later confiscated and may have used for the espionage case against him. The seizure of the papers upset Wallenberg. In a 1993 interview with University of Chicago Prof. Marvin Makinen, Richter said that Wallenberg told him the notes were for a novel about espionage. Why would he act so recklessly, creating evidence against himself? Makinen, a consultant to the official Swedish-Russian commission focusing on Wallenberg, believes the purpose was to record information, perhaps by using code in the text.
