#4 Oleg Penkovsky

The United States thanks Oleg Penkovsky for detecting the missle launch sites in Cuba during the Cuban Missle Crisis in 1961. Without him, we may have been wiped out and the Last World War may have been ignited. It is said that he was a defector and ws burned alive in 1963, but no one knows for sure.
