The Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg become a big hero during his effort to save people during the second world war.
Whit Swedish protection papers Wallenberg saved thousands of Jews, Wallenberg was offically sent by the Swedish goverment to the hungarian capital Budapest, but in the real case he was working for the USA, which paid his bills. It has never been a exact number of people that was saved by Wallenberg but it´s assumed that 30 000 – 100 000 persons.
When the Red army was marching in to Budapest, Wallenberg was arrested and was transported to Moscow. What then happened has never been clear. In 1957 Sovjet confesed that Wallenberg in fact had been a prisoner in the Sovjetunion. Acording to a letter from a former prisondoctor, the Smoltsov report, Wallenberg should have died in prison on the 17 of July 1947. It was claimed that he died of a heartattack, which later had been said that he was executed.
Many wittneses has come forward and said that they had seen him alive in Sovjet prison after 1947. Even so long after his arrest as in the 1980´s in the city Vladimir, about 18 miles northeast of Moscow.
