Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs (1911 - 1988),
German physicist. He played a part in the development of the first atomic bombs and worked at the Harwell
Atomic Energy Establishment from 1946 until 1950, when he pleaded guilty to
having supplied
secret information to the Russians and was sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment.

Develop something new, something

- A Summary of Study (4 Aug. 64) Emil Klaus Fuchs (1911-1988)
German-born
physicist and spy who was
arrested and convicted in 1950 for giving
vital American and British atomic
research secrets to the Soviet
Union. Fuchs studied
physics and
mathematics at universities in
Germany and joined the
German Communist Party in 1930. In 1933 when the
Nazis came to
power in
Germany, he fled to Great Britain to continue
research and
study on the
atomic bomb. In 1943, he was
sent to the United
States to
work on the
atomic bomb project at
Los Alamos,
New Mexico, where he acquired a thorough
knowledge of the
theory and
design of the
bomb which he passed on to the Soviet
Union. His spying is credited with
saving the Soviets up to a year of
research in their own
program to
develop the
atomic bomb. In 1950 his activities were finally detected. He was
arrested and admitted to
having passed
information to the Soviet
Union since 1943. Sentenced to fourteen years in prison, Fuchs was
released after nine (in 1959) and went to
East Germany (then a
communist country), where he was granted citizenship, received several
honors and remained a
committed communist.
