Rudolf "Dolf" von Scheliha (31 May 1897 – 22 December 1942) was a German cavalry officer and later diplomat, who would become a resistance fighter linked to the Red Orchestra. In 1934, motivated by financial necessity, von Scheliha was recruited by Soviet intelligence while he served in Warsaw. In the years leading up to the war, von Scheliha was placed in a position of trust in the Foreign Office, which enabled him to pass documents to Soviet intelligence and to build up a large collection of documents that detailed Nazi atrocities.
