The C.I.A. and Wall Street

7. a great example of this

Is the story of George Weisz and Igor Orlov.

Weisz was a Jew working for the C.I.A.. He worked in Hungary on the surface as a Nazi hunter, but his real job was to find high value Nazis in hiding and bring them to the U.S. or South America. He operated by turning the low level Nazis over to the Russian authorities. When he went after the high value ones, they were so afraid they would go along with him.

Igor Orlov used the same tactics on Russians who defected and were fighting for the Nazis in Ukraine. He knew the identities of low level NKVD agents in the ranks of the Russian defectors. He would help the germans "uncover" them, thus bolstering his credentials as loyal to the german cause of defeating the soviets. Orlov assisted in the brutal interrogations and executions of members of his own organization (NKVD) to bolster his cover.

In a supreme stroke of irony, Weisz was turned into a double agent by Orlov, who posed as a Russian Nazi hunter.
