But, yeah, there's a whole bunch of these stories where illegals would sort of – get drunk, they would confess, they would defect. And the whole idea of this program is that they have to be on a very long leash that the Soviets can't be watching them from the embassy, because they they can't have any links.

So he was actually a cameraman, Rudy Herman. Cameraman, that's right. Rudy Herman, exactly as you say, I mean, he had this wonderful degree from Charles University in Prague. He was an incredibly clever guy. And he was posing brilliantly as a right-wing German. But he was very, very good at the job. But the problem was he didn't have any German or American qualifications.
