Alfred Liskow
Alfred Liskow , also written as Liskov or Liskof or Albert Liskow or Albert Liskov ( 1910 -1942?) Was a German soldier and Carpenter on the eve of Operation Barbarossa the river Bug north of Lviv in Sokal swam to the Red Army before to warn of the impending attack.
Liskow's whereabouts have not been conclusively determined. Historians assume that Liskow is the German deserter whose execution Joseph Stalin ordered for allegedly spreading disinformation.
Georgi Dimitroff reports in his diaries several times that Liskov was mistrusted on the Soviet side and also in the apparatus of the EKKI (Executive Committee of the Communist International) and even considered him to be an agent who had been dispatched by the German side. As a result, on December 23, 1941, Dimitrov spoke with the representative of the NKVD Trifonov about the "isolation of the German deserter Liskow , who defected on the night of June 22 , because of his disintegration work and because he is extremely dangerous". "He is undoubtedly a fascist and anti-Semite. Perhaps the Germans themselves sent him to us at the time with a special order. - I also sent an encrypted telegram to Beria about this." Two days later Dimitrov noted that Liskow had "been taken over by the NKVD".
