→GRU: possibly
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)

::Sounds vaguely familiar. I'll have a look at sourcing, too. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 15:43, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
