5: Klaus Fuchs
Written and narrated by EDGAR LUSTGARTEN with Hugh Burden as Fuchs Klaus Fuchs entered Britain as a refugee from the Nazis before World War II. His brilliant academic qualifications soon made him one of our foremost atomic scientists. As such he represented Britain at the earliest atomic explosions in the USA. As a communist his divulgence of these secrets to the Soviet was possibly the most serious betrayal in modern history.
