Can't remember exactly where, but suspect it was in college ROTC, but got a briefing that their espionage probably allowed the Soviets to develop an atomic bomb at least 10 years before they could have done it on their own.

Very interesting read. No remorse for these traitors! Definitely news to me. History that I was unaware of.

I an m not a fan of the death penalty, but there is little ration doubt that they are guilty of the crimes they were executed for.
