The Story Of Varlosovic: The Spy Of Serbia
We captured Kristan Varlosovic on the border attempting to escape to Bosnia. Thanks to intelligence gained from civilian informants in Slavonski Brod. In his time spent in the box we had launched him in, he had maintained a deadly calm. Quite odd for a captured spy who was going to be tortured. Though Varlosovic was not a normal spy for Serbia. We had information he was a weapon of sorts, to say the least. Varlosovic's body count was 200 confirmed kills in a period of 3 years. This was a small village in Croatia to provide a perspective. One would argue it’s impossible, though I wouldn’t berate the body count.

Our government had brought him to Zagreb in the hope of cracking his secrets. The building we threw him in was a run down car manufacturing plant. Unknown to the public it was a government mandated site to be used for any black operations. The building was a resounding success up until the day we brought Varlosovic in. Throwing him in the basement of the building was thought to be our best bet to stop his escape. Though we had another problem with the capture of Varlosovic.

Offering our government 5 captured Croatian spies in return for Varlosovic. In another time this proposal would’ve been acceptable, but this was different times. This was worse than the Cold war. The Serbs had assigned me Milos Didic to extract information from Varlosovic. They told me to do so by any means necessary. I had been through this process before with much success and no casualties. But nothing I had learned would prepare me for Varlosovic. He was a special type of insane. No sane person kills 200 people unless they’ve gone insane or lost their

    Throughout the Cold War, spies were paramount to the countries involved (Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union), giving them an upper-hand against their enemies. Spies kept a watchful eye on other countries and purposefully broadcasted inaccurate information about the opposing country. Being a spy was extremely dangerous and those caught rarely got off without repercussions, most often imprisonment and execution. The Soviet Union became notorious for hiring spies. The most renowned were the “Cambridge Five,” spies from Britain hired to provide information to the Soviet Union. John Vassal was a member of the “Cambridge Five.”…

    On a windy winter night in 1932, a kidnapper crept onto the estate of Charles A. Lindbergh, climbed a homemade ladder, placed a ransom note on the window, and left with the baby of the most famous man in the world. The ransom was paid, but the child was found months later, dead in the woods near the house. A two year hunt for the murderer ensued. Arrested and charged was 35-year-old Bronx carpenter Bruno Richard Hauptmann. The purpose of this paper is to research what really went down during the crime of the century. Was all the evidence looked at? Were all the leads followed? Was the question correctly answered? Did Bruno Hauptmann really kidnap little Charles Lindbergh Jr.? It was an event that author H.L. Mencken called “The greatest story…

    Spies were not typically used as an offensive tactic in the opponents territory before World War I. For the most part, they were concerned with protecting their own backs, against enemy spies. As a result, some countries went as far as restricting civil liberties during wartime and granted excess power to military leaders, police, and authoritative figures. For example, shortly after entering the war, the United States enacted the Espionage Act. "This act prohibited any interference with military operations and prevented the support of U.S. enemies during wartime" (Wikipedia). The United States entered the war in April of 1917. With the trend in increased reconnaissance/espionage forces, the U.S created a Military Intelligence Section, this…

    Maass refers to the dark moments in humanity as “the wild beast,’ where inhumanity runs amok and all morality is lost. After reading this story it can be figured that Maass went as a reporter to the Balkans at the height of the salvage war there, but this story is not traditional war reportage. It can be seen that Maass’ brilliantly observed a moving memoir of the worst event of violence in Europe during the Bosnian War, since World War II. In his story of “The Wild Beast” he writes about what he saw during the two years of war in Bosnia for the Washington Post. Maass offers “one of the definitive accounts of Bosnia’s fin de siècle descent into madness” writing in the tradition of Ryszard Kapuscinski and Michael Herr’s Dispacthes (Random House). Mass captures the national, personal, and universal implications of a civil war.…

    For nearly a century, the KGB, the Committee for State Security within the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, controlled the USSR. The members of the committee were trained assassins as well as accomplished spies. Through several well-placed spies and paid civilians, the KGB was able to control the Politburo, the Soviet parliament, and the rest of the union. The KGB was in charge of the Siberian labor camps – even today, Vladimir Putin’s secret service, the FSB, is charged with the upkeep of those camps. Several of the greatest and most terrible leaders of the Soviet Union were brought up through the ranks of the KGB and its predecessors: Beria, Andropov, and Yeltsin were all protégés of the KGB. The KGB infiltrated straight into the heart of the American and British establishments; the KGB ran the most infamous spy ring in the history of espionage . The KGB supervised many invasions of the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The KGB crest – the sword and the shield – is to show what the KGB stands for; defense, espionage, and attack. The KGB has affected both the culture and the government of Russia in several ways.…

    Another strong example would be in a situation of your family being held hostage over information that is vital. Imagine there is a terrorist holding a gun to a family member’s head saying that if you let the government know that they are going to bomb the United States he or she is going to shoot them. Are you truly going to let millions die so that you can let that one person live? It is a very harsh thing to say, and I love everyone in my family, but I would not be able to betray my country and live with the conscious of thousands or millions of people dead because I wanted one person I love to live.…

    Ordinary Men

    If one were to take anything from Christopher Browning’s Ordinary Men it is that even the most ordinary, normal men have the capacity to kill. The 101st Reserve Police Battalion executed at least 6,500 Jews at the Polish cities and villages of Jozefow, Lomazy, Serokomla, Lukow, Konskowola, Parczew, Radzyn, Kock, and Miedzyrzec and participated in the deportation of at least 42,000 Jews to the gas chambers in Treblinka (Browning, chapter 14, page 121). There were most likely even more killings that were never documented and much less remembered by the members of the 101st. These men had their first taste of death at Jozefow where they massacred 1,500 Polish Jews (Browning, chapter 8, page 74). It was a brutal and harrowing event where men, women, children, and the elderly were all executed, many in their own homes and even more in the forest surrounding the town. But out of this horror and chaos also came a sliver of hope for the souls of the men of the 101st when Major Trapp offered an interesting option; whoever did not have the stomach to participate in the executions could step out before the massacre was underway. Ten or twelve men accepted his offer (Browning, chapter 7, page 57). This would eventually lead to many men stepping away from executions in coming “actions”. Before the war these men were ordinary lower class workers who no doubt enjoyed many of the simple pleasures that we still enjoy today. These were ordinary men who found themselves in an extraordinary situation. They were ordinary men who became extraordinary killers.…
