It’s long been known that during World War II, Theodore “Ted” Hall, Klaus Fuchs and David Greenglass committed espionage at Los Alamos. Each worked at the secret laboratory charged with creating the world’s first atomic bomb, stole classified weapons information and shared it with the Soviet Union.
