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.

:::The [[Noel Field]] entry does not exactly fit with the stuff in the German book on Field (or perhaps I am completely confused by now).--[[User:Radh|Radh]] 16:41, 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)

:::We have a pretty well researched synopsis of these events at [[Alger_Hiss#Hede_Massing_and_Noel_Field]]. Field worked with the Hiss/GRU group which is what Massing testified to in 1951. We reported Massing "new" Sorge in 1928; if you can cite recrutiment, I'd be interested to see that. Right now I'm trying to find Massing's book, ''This Deception'', which I think is online.
