Vasily Fedorovich Malyshkin was a Soviet major general during World War II. Following his capture during Operation Typhoon he defected to Nazi Germany becoming a leading member and propagandist for the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia (KONR). In the aftermath of the German defeat he was captured by the American army, which in turn transferred him to the Soviet Union where he was executed for treason.
