Boris Teodor Paš

Boris Teodor Paš, born Boris Fjorodovič Paškovski, was a prominent figure during World War II, leading the Alsos Mission to secure German nuclear secrets before the Soviets could. His leadership and dedication to preventing the spread of communism marked him as a key player in the early development of the Manhattan Project.

He passed away in 1995.
