  Russia got the list of spies some how and turned him with a deal he couldn’t refuse. Sad
context: It’s just like the Cold War is back. >
  
  there have been many signs the last few years that tell me the cold war never left and just went to the background of peoples attention span :( >
  
  The article says the Germans believe the spy was turned just months after the start of the war. 
  The Russians must’ve been working on him some time before that for him to switch sides so quickly. >
  
  Considering that the war hasn’t even been on for a full year, I would say that a spy having access to vital intel for a few months is a big deal.
