Who did not intervene to save Sorge after his capture?
Stalin
Churchill
Roosevelt
Mussolini
Answer
Stalin did not intervene to save Sorge after his capture because he feared the political consequences of acknowledging a Soviet spy operating in Japan. Sorge had been operating in Japan for over a decade, providing valuable intelligence to the Soviet Union. Exposing his true identity would have put strain on Soviet-Japanese relations and potentially led to war.
