#1 Wallenberg was arrested by the Soviet Red Army on January 17, 1945 as they entered Budapest, probably on suspicion of being a spy for the United States. To this day, the U.S. government refuses to either confirm or deny this. He was taken to the Lubyanka in Moscow with his driver Langfelder. Wallenberg was then transferred to Lefortovo prison in another part of Moscow for two more years.

That is at a time were USA was (on American sixde) a ally of Soviet Union and less than a year after Patton' carreer was neraly wrecked for
nasty remarks about Soviet Union.

#2 JFM, the US and the Soviet Union were allies only in the sense of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". The USSR never considered us their friend, only that we were useful in supplying goods and men to their war effort.
