Abstract

The article deals with a secret file found by Allied military intelligence agents after the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 which contained a report on the shooting of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin's son, Red Army artillery lieutenant Yakov Dzhugashvili at Sachsenhausen concentration camp in April 1943. Topics include the move of German diplomat Joachim Ribbentrop not to release the report to the Nazi press, and an overview of Dzhugashvili's life and his being regarded as a weakling by his father.
