=== David Greenglass ===
[[David Greenglass]], codename KALIBER, was the brother of Ethel Rosenberg, and would be crucial in the conviction of the Rosenbergs. Greenglass was a former Army machinist who worked at Los Alamos. He was originally meant to replace a soldier who had gone AWOL, and lied on his security clearance in order to gain access onto the project.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=McFadden |first=Robert D. |date=2014-10-14 |title=David Greenglass, the Brother Who Doomed Ethel Rosenberg, Dies at 92 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/15/us/david-greenglass-spy-who-helped-seal-the-rosenbergs-doom-dies-at-92.html |access-date=2024-04-18 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Once Klaus Fuchs was caught, he gave up Harry Gold, who in turn, gave up Greenglass and his wife, as well as his sister and her husband. During their trial, Greenglass changed his story several times. At first, he didn't want to implicate his sister, but when his wife was threatened, he gave up both of them. According to Gerald Markowitz and Michael Meeropol, "In the Rosenberg-Sobell case, the government relied heavily upon the testimony of Greenglass, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit espionage in exchange for a reduced sentence for himself and no indictment or prosecution for his wife, Ruth, who he alleged had aided him in committing espionage. Greenglass testified that he had passed information about the atom bomb to Gold and Rosenberg, who in turn passed it on to the Russians."<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Markowitz |first1=Gerald E. |last2=Meeropol |first2=Michael |date=1980 |title=The "Crime of the Century" Revisited: David Greenglass' Scientific Evidence in the Rosenberg Case |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40402217 |journal=Science & Society |volume=44 |issue=1 |pages=1–26 |jstor=40402217 |issn=0036-8237}}</ref> In the end, Greenglass was sentenced to 15 years but was released in 1960 after serving only nine and a half.<ref name=":0" />
