In 1944, Dulles' was connected Operation Valkirie, the German plot to assassinate Hitler; and in 1945 he was a key player in Operation Sunrise, conducting secret negotiatiations with German commanders in Italy which ultimately led to their surrender. Dulles' professional career makes the lives of fictional spies like Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan seem pale in comparison.
