Harro Schulze-Boysen

Heinz Harro Max Wilhelm Georg Schulze-Boysen was a left-wing German publicist and Luftwaffe officer during World War II. Schulze-Boysen became a leading German resistance fighter as a member of a Berlin anti-fascist resistance group that was later called the Red Orchestra by the Abwehr. He was arrested and executed in 1942.Schulze-Boysen's career as a Soviet agent lasted slightly longer than a year, from just before June 1941 to August 1942. His activities against the Third Reich from 1933 to 1941 were not carried out as part of the Rote Kapelle organization. Like numerous groups in other parts of the world, the undercover political factions led by Arvid Harnack and Schulze-Boysen later developed into espionage networks.
