(1888-1945) Hans Oster was a German Army officer in the First World War, a staff officer during the interwar period, and rose to become the main operations officer of the Abwehr military intelligence agency and a major figure in the German Resistance. He was dismissed for anti-Nazi activities, and eventually executed at Flossenburg Concentration Camp.
He is believed to have been a major intelligence source for the Soviet Lucy Ring, as well as participating in efforts to rescue Jews.
Manfred Roeder, a Party investigator into the Red Orchestra, discovered Oster's activities and forced his dismissal.
