Amazing story

[@Jackthesmilingblack]

Ursula Kuczynski was born in 1907, not 1917. Her second husband (some say third) was Len Beurton (Burton). The more kids you have, the better your cover. Her first husband was Rudolph (Rudi) Hamburger (not Rolph).
Actually Len and Alexander Foote fought in Spain with the International Brigade against Franco. Before September 1939, only Russia was fighting the Fascists.
When Ursula did a runner to East Germany, she could only take her two youngest children; her older son was at university in Scotland. Husband Len had broken his leg and arm in a motorbike accident, so they had to be left in UK.

Yes your mother was a traitor.

This is my favorite heroine. Intelligent, efficient, bold and extremely discreet. A very nice lady with deep political convictions who helped define the 20th century without worrying about whether or not she would become famous while working in secret for the Soviets.

I note that it was FDR not Teddy.

So many people have been given or taken credit for " The Deed". I always thought that's what the Rosenbergs were convicted of.

[@hamitozbek5868]

This documentary is not very accurate. It’s skips so much vital information,also Sonya’s sister never recruited anybody! According to the book “agent Sonya” her sisster only passed over a message to foote and to Beurton that sonya had left before having to head off on another assignment instructed by her superiors

Looking at the girl playing Sonia She cannot send morse code just tapping the key.

Soviets were smart...

[@Garbeaux.]

So smart they had to steal top secret info to even make their nukes? So smart the Soviet Union collapsed?

@@NebulaBull Soviets do not exist anymore because the Soviet Union is gone, but Russians are by far the biggest country of the 15 republics that comprised the Soviet Union are smart too.

@ozymandiasultor9480 Soviets never ceased to exist in anything other than name. It will take generations to get the Soviet out of Russia. Just my opinion.

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

@@vxrdrummer Oh, that is your opinion? OK... I can say that the Confederation never ceased to exist and point toward that militaristic plutocracy, the USA, and all things that show that the South is alive and ruling...But that would be wrong for many reasons. Officially, de jure and de facto Soviet Union does not exist and Russia made a U-turn from all values of the Soviet Union, Putin is religious and he never wanted the Soviet Union back.
Not just my opinion.

27:00 Maybe somebody high up WANTED her to pass info to the Soviets.
