In reply to the discussion: "Trump in the end will be shown to have been the most damaging Cold War traitor since the Rosenbergs [View all]kskiska
(27,045 posts)48. Interesting.
I recall it was a matter of whether it was true that Ethel typed documents then passed on. Greenglass claimed she did. It's been a while since I was intensely into the case, before the Venona files. Apparently, the Greenglass drawings were pretty rudimentary and didn't divulge any "secrets." Ethel was used as leverage to get a confession out of Julius, but she never gave him up and was executed anyway.
