The Suicide of Alfred Redl in the Klomser Hotel

Under your feet

Description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Redl

Descripcion foto: Alfred Redl was an Austro-Hungarian military officer who rose to head the Evidenzbureau, the counterintelligence wing of the General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Army. He was one of the leading figures of pre-World War I espionage; his term in office was marked by radical innovations and the use of advanced technology to ensnare foreign spies. Due to the innovations he introduced, Redl's successor, Major Maximilian Ronge, ultimately learned in 1913 that Redl himself was also a highly paid spy, working for the intelligence service of the Imperial Russian Army. Upon being exposed as a Russian spy, Redl committed suicide in the Klomser Hotel, housed in the former Batthyány Palace.
