Aleksandr Petrovich Kurayev

Kurayev was born in 1914 in the Pskov Oblast and joined the Soviet Army in 1937. By the outbreak of war, he was a lieutenant. As German forces advanced in 1941, Kurayev was left as a stay behind Razvedupr operative behind German lines using the name Stepan Trofimovich Korda. However, he soon surrendered to German forces and by October 1941 he joined the German occupation police force in the area where he was operating. The KGB reported that he participated in mass executions of Soviet citizens. In March 1944, he retreated with the Germans to Romania, and from there to Germany. In April 1945, he was serving in an anti-aicraft defense unit in Dresden, Germany. Nothing more is known of his whereabouts after that.[i]
