'''Duncan Chaplin Lee''', descendant of Confederate General [[Robert E. Lee]] and [[Rhodes Scholar]]. Lee attended college with [[Donald Wheeler]]. In the early summer of 1942 Lee was appointed confidential assistant to [[William J. Donovan]], chief of the [[Office of Strategic Services]] (OSS). Lee became the [[NKVD]]’s most senior source in American intelligence. Lee was employed in the OSS from 1942 to 1946. A Venona decrypt from June 1943 lists six Soviet agents working in the OSS and the [[Office of War Information]]; five of the Soviet sources have been identified, [[Maurice Halperin]], [[Franz Leopold Neumann|Franz Neumann]], [[Bella Joseph]], [[Julius Joseph]], and Duncan Lee. Lee supplied the Soviet Union with a list of OSS employees suspected of being Communists or Communist sympathizers and informed Moscow of the impending [[D-Day]] invasion in 1944 and operations in China and Japan.
