In WWII, Allan Alexander Foote was a radio operator for a Soviet espionage ring in Switzerland. Foote was originally from Yorkshire in England, and had spent some time in Spain working for the Republican side during the Civil War in the 30s. He decided to continue his efforts against Fascism (and, perhaps, for Communism) and volunteered for clandestine work. He was put into contact with Ruth Kucyzinski (also known as Ursala K, Ursala Hamburger, Sonya, and Ruth Brewer at various times and various places) in Switzerland. He became a radio operator for the Soviet espionage operation run by Alexander Rado and was one of those who passed information to Moscow from the Lucy spy ring run by Rudolf Roessler. Foote was one of those arrested when the Swiss police shut down most of the operation and was detained for a time.
After the War, he spent some time in the Eastern Bloc and then returned to the West and published his book, A Handbook for Spies. He died in the 50s.
Because of the implausible (fast, plentiful, and accurate) and never explained nature of the Lucy ring's information, suspicion attaches to all associated with it. Since Foote was a central cog, since his book is thought dubious in places, and since he managed to return to the West rather easily, there have been allegations that he was a British Secret Service double agent and one of (if not the main) conduit of information from Britain to Roessler and thence to Moscow.
