Glen Roy Rohrer (December 8, 1920 - June 2003; aged 82) was a United States Army Sergeant First Class, who in August 1965 defected into communist Czechoslovakia and was subsequently used as a propaganda puppet by its communist regime. In the book Naked Sphinx (1976), by the Czechoslovak regime press, he was presented as an "American military intelligence officer" - while in fact he was a polygraph examiner. He died under suspicious circumstances in June 2003, his ashes were scattered on Malvazinky cemetery in Prague, all without the notification of his family.
