Gustav Hilger
German diplomat / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gustav Arthur Hilger (September 11, 1886 – July 27, 1965) was a German diplomat and expert on the Soviet Union. He was best known for his role in German–Soviet relations during the interwar period as a counselor at the German embassy in Moscow.[1] After World War II, he advised the United States and the West German governments on Soviet issues.[2] Hilger worked under the CIA aliases Stephen H. Holcomb and Arthur T. Latter.[3] Joseph Stalin said of Hilger: "German heads of state and German ambassadors to Moscow came and went - but Gustav Hilger remained".[4]
