Ping!
A BTT for a story I’d love to know the ending to. It may be one of super-secret agencies or it may simply be that people were shot for some very slim reasons in 1947 or even no reason at all. There was a lot of it going around. BTT.
The answer is in the Soviet files.... some of which are now open and available to the public. But it’d probably be a massive amt. of research to dig through those files.
Thanks justiceseeker93. Years ago, 60 Minutes had a story (Mike Wallace reporting, if memory serves) regarding RW’s kidnapping by the Red Army. The troops who took him into custody were commanded by Leonid Breschnev.

I'm sure today the Russians would say, "Who's Wallenberg?"
Interesting, that there was a secret group like the OSS, called The Pond.
I’ve never heard of that. I’m reading about Intrepid, the guy who set up the OSS-MI6 liason during WWII, and it doesn’t say anything about The Pond.

Google search brought this up - lots in this article -

The late Tom Lantos, Hungarian-born congressman of California who passed away last February, credited Wallenberg for spiriting him out of Budapest during WWII. As a Jew, more than likely, Lantos otherwise would have wound up on a cattle car headed for a liquidation camp....
Thank you so much for posting this, justiceseeker93! I hope the mystery of Wallenberg's fate will be cleared up in due course.
