How Else Might He Have Died? |

January 17,1945, arrested for espionage-his money, radio and dubious
diplomatic status making him a suspect. According to Swedish
authorities, Soviets later admitted his arrest was a
mistake. |
One source said he was arrested a Russian NKVD and shot as a spy for
Great Britain and the United States in a Soviet prison two years after his
capture. Although that source lacked documentary evidence. |
During
the late 40's and 50's foreign officials captured Wallenberg.
Everyone was freed to leave for home, but Wallenberg never
left. |
Ex-prisoners reported seeing him in different prisons and also in a
Russian mental hospital in the late 1970's. |
Russians had a handwritten document dated July 17, 1947. It stated
"Wallenberg died last night in his cell. Probably the result of
a heart attack." Instructions on the bottom of the note ordered
cremation of the body without a post-mortem examination. |
Yefim Moshinsky claimed that he had been imprisoned with Wallenberg in a
top secret camp 30 miles within the Artic Circle called Wrangel
Island. The camp was reserved for those "legally" dead. |
On February 6, 1957 Soviets announced that they had found a document that
concerned Raoul. The document stated "The prisoner Wallenberg,
who is known to you, died last night in his cell. July 17,
1947." But in 1990 his files were destroyed leaving no evidence
that he ever died in 1947. |
Eye witnesses placed Wallenberg in Vadimir prison, 120 miles NE of Moscow. |
and then there are the ones who still think Wallenberg is alive.
People have claimed to see him up to the 1990. If he were alive he
would be 89 years old. |
