In peace time- not during a regular, declared Military action- it would probaly be Mr. Julius Rosenberg, along with his wife, Ethel. This occured in peacetime. both were convicted in having conducted espionage on highly secretive US weapons systems-such as the Implosion type fuse used to detonate A-bombs. the material was so secret even the technical documents used evasive language such as Lenses to focus detonating waves- rather than merely ( Fuse imploder). a deadly serious matter of the Cold war. These devices had and still have, no civilian application.
