The American handed over to the Soviet Union US nuclear secrets along with three other spies, writes Fox News. It was alleged that the theft of classified information between 1940 and 1948 over the years accelerated the development of nuclear weapons by the Soviet Union and the start of the Cold War.

For a long time, only three spies were accused of this information leak, but recently a man named Oscar Seborré was named the fourth criminal.

His code name was “Godsend,” and he worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It was there that the first nuclear weapons were developed.

The name of Seborrhea was mentioned several times in the documents of the FBI, which were declassified in the 2011 year.

His betrayal of the United States attracted the attention of historians John Earl Haines and Harvey Claire, and the New York Times revealed his story, which first became public.

The theory that there was a fourth spy responsible for leaking atomic secrets along with David Greenglass, Klaus Fuchs, and Theodore Hall was proposed in the early 1990's. However, for a long time it was believed that this theory was based on the Russian disinformation campaign.

Haines and Claire examined the declassified FBI documents to confirm the theory. They found that the Seborrer is less mentioned in the documents, because the main attention was paid to other spies.

There remain many questions about his espionage activities and what happened when he moved to the USSR.

Historians have learned that he was from a Jewish family who moved to the United States from Poland. Seborer was part of a network of people associated with Soviet intelligence, and some were prominent members of the Communist Party.

He studied to become an engineer and joined the US Army in 1942. He was then assigned to the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that created the first nuclear weapons.

During this time, they suspect, he provided the leak of nuclear secrets.

Two years later, Seborré was transferred to the United States Navy and worked as an electrical engineer.

Historians have discovered that his senior officers reported him as a “security risk” at the time, but this was mainly due to his connections with the Communist Party, and not to spy suspicions.

In the 1950's in America, anti-communist sentiments reached new heights. Seborer decided to flee the country in 1952 with his brother, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. He eventually settled in Moscow and died in 2015.

Seborer was even charged with transferring the formula for bomb “A” because of documents received from a member of the Communist Party in which he was mentioned.

The specific atomic secrets that he shared are still trying to relate to each other, and the significance of Seborer's contribution will be investigated by researchers.

It is believed that he acted not alone, and some of his family members were also spies with the code names “The Godfather”, “Relative” and “Nata”.
