She married Julian Gumperz in 1923 [wrong, they met in 1923, lived together from 1924, but married only in 1927, so that she would get US-citizenship], they separated around 1928 and she then lived with Paul Massing, but they married much later [in 1936].--[[User:Radh|Radh]] 10:04, 19 March 2010 (EDT)

::There are short dense bios of both Massings and tons of other people in a two volume (German) book on Noel Field, I have another look at this later (it is on Google Books). P.S.: Managed to get it all wrong: have changed the statement above.--[[User:Radh|Radh]] 12:32, 19 March 2010 (EDT)

As I understand it, Massing's failure to recruit Noel Field was because Field already worked with [[Alger Hiss]] & the GRU, while Massing was a Comintern & NKVD operative. Can we get this part correct? [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 15:11, 19 March 2010 (EDT)

:I will have a look at the book on Field, I just hope this stuff is visible on Google. As far as I know by now Hede Gumperz was recruited in Frankfurt/Main by R. Sorge prob. in 1928, her boss at the GRU was Ignaz Reiss. She did various jobs in Europe. When Paul Massing went to Moskau, she followed him and received more training. In the USA they were not GRU, but, as you say NKVD. --[[User:Radh|Radh]] 15:34, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
