Sorge was decorated and remarried. In 1933 he was sent to Berlin with the code name "Ramsay" ("" (Ramzai, Ramzay)), to reform contacts in Germany so he could pass for a German journalist in Japan. He arrived at Yokohama on September 6, 1933.
In 1933-1934 Sorge built a network to collect intelligence for the NKVD in Japan. His agents had contacts with senior politicians and through that, to information of Japan's foreign policy. He also recontacted Ozaki Hozumi who developed a close contact with the prime minister Fumimaro Konoye. Ozaki copied secret documents for Sorge.
Officially Sorge joined the Nazi party and worked with the local embassy and ambassador Eugen Ott as an agent for the Abwehr. He used the embassy for double-checking his information. Stress also increased his drinking.
Sorge supplied the Soviets with information about the Anti-Comintern Pact, the German-Japanese Pact and warning of the Pearl Harbor attack. In 1941 Sorge informed them of the exact launch date of Operation Barbarossa. Moscow answered with thanks but little was done.
Before the battle for Moscow, Sorge transmitted information that Japan was not going to attack the Soviet Union in the East. This crucial information allowed Georgy Zhukov to redeploy Siberian troops for the defense of Moscow.
The Japanese secret service had already intercepted many of his messages and begun to close in. Ozaki was arrested on October 14, 1941 and interrogated. Sorge was arrested in October 18, 1941 in Tokyo. Sorge was not exchanged for Japanese prisoners of war, although the reason for that is unclear. He was incarcerated in Sugamo Prison.
Richard Sorge was hanged on November 7, 1944, 10:20 a.m. Tokyo time. Ozaki Hozumi was hanged on the same day. The Soviet Union did not acknowledge Sorge until 1964. It was argued that Sorge's biggest coup tragically led to his undoing, because Stalin could not afford to let it become known that he rejected his intelligence data about the German attack in 1941.
On November 5, 1964 Richard Sorge was posthumously awarded the honorary title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
