NKVD Pre-War Successes

NKVD Pre-War Success

An ill wind blows open the curtain for a brief moment allowing a quick peek deep into the shadow world, faded with the mists of time, where vast armies of the night, dedicated ideologues fought clandestine wars for the future.It is estimated that the Soviet NKVD fielded at least a million well armed troops at any one time during World War II. During the espionage wars prior to June 22, 1941, the NKVD fielded over a million total men as agents, counterspies, assassins, paramilitary units, managers of deception operations and other activities. During that period the Soviets effectively penetrated many Imperial Japanese covert operations directed against the USSR. How did they do it?The Soviets were systematically opening Japanese diplomatic pouches routed from Europe through Moscow to the Far East until 1936. This operation revealed to the Soviets many secrets including:--the secret German–Japanese agreements to collaborate against the Soviet Union. --The raw, decrypted communications also provided the Soviets with important keys to German and Japanese ciphers and enough data on Japanese espionage nets to afford the NKVD a leg up. The Soviets broke Japanese diplomatic codes and were systematically reading the Japanese Embassy’s communications from Berlin. The notorious Soviet double agent, the White General Anton Turkul, penetrated the Japanese networks through the Japanese Embassy in Berlin by early 1937. Turkul used his networks of agents in the White Russian émigré community to recruit and send penetration agents into the Soviet Union. Of course they were rounded up and liquidated by the reds as they arrived in the USSR. Turkul also provided those services to the Germans in the so-called ‘MAX’ networks throughout the Soviet–German war. After the war, Anton Turkul was recruited by US Intelligence and went on to serve as head of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. He died of natural causes in 1959, never having been discovered as a Soviet double agent. In a 1996 interview, Turkul’s CIA controller, Harry Rositzke, refused to accept that Turkul had ever been a Soviet spy.Imagine the world then, hosts of professional spies, heroes and pimps, maneuvering and killing in the night. In America, upstart amateurs were being primed to serve as communist dupes from 1935-2008. Stalin's desire to seize the world for communism was continued by hundreds of thousands of domestic traitors who finally seized control of the US government in 2006-2009.
