Richard Sorge: Stalin’s "James Bond" Spy Who Undermined Hitler
This is a story about ideals, beliefs and betrayal. Richard Sorge fought against Hitler and National Socialism. Out of conviction for the Communist cause, Richard Sorge acted as a spy in service of Stalin. The man with a German father and a Russian mother was a member of Hitler's NSDAP and was living in Japan, an ally of Nazi-Germany. In 1951 a journalist wrote "He had indeed betrayed his fatherland, but in favor of his motherland." And truer words have never been spoken. He was a master spy, duty-bound to the fight against Hitler - a daredevil, a womanizer and a rule breaker. Richard Sorge is not just the model for Ian Fleming's "James Bond" - he was the actual James Bond - a fact that turns this historical documentary into a cinematic thriller.
