Original Note:
Cash claimed that he played a role in intercepting the news in his autobiography, writing "I copied the first news of Stalin’s death." His biographer, however, expressed doubt about the likelihood of the story and quoted a fellow airman saying Cash could not speak Russian. https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/2022/09/26/that-time-johnny-cash-might-have-intercepted-secret-russian-code/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/e505acd9-3cff-4bd5-9b64-bd4d7a44ef62
