Alfred Liskow

Alfred Liskow sometimes Liskov or Liskof or Albert Liskow or Albert Liskov (1910 – 1942?) was a German Soldier and furniture maker from Bavaria who swam across the Bug River at 21:00 on the eve of Operation Barbarossa near Sokal, just north of L'viv, in 1941 to warn the Red Army of imminent attack the next morning.

Liskow's ultimate fate is unknown. However, Stalin later ordered the execution of a "German deserter" for misinformation. It is unclear if this refers to Liskow or another German deserter.
