Glen Roy Rohrer

Glen Roy Rohrer was a United States Army Sergeant First Class, who in August 1965 defected into communist Czechoslovakia and was subsequently used as a propaganda puppet by its communist regime. In the book Naked Sphinx (1976), by the Czechoslovak regime press, he was presented as an "American military intelligence officer" - while in fact he was a polygraph examiner. He died under suspicious circumstances in June 2003, his ashes were scattered on Malvazinky cemetery in Prague, all without the notification of his family.

Until his 1965 defection, Rohrer had been stationed as a polygraph operator at Camp King, Oberursel, Germany which was a joint Army/CIA/ONI/BND facility used for debriefing East Bloc defectors. He assisted in defector interrogations as a polygraph operator.

Lydia K. a KGB colonel, is attributed as recruiting him.[1]
