The name's Bond: Poland found 007's namesake
The name's Bond, seriously
Location: Warsaw, Poland
A suspected British agent called James Bond
was found in Polish Cold War archives
(SOUNDBITE) (Polish) DIRECTOR OF POLAND'S NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF REMEMBRANCE (IPN) ARCHIVE, MARZENA KRUK, SAYING:"We know he spent almost a year in Poland in 1964 and in 1965. He worked at the military attaché office. He traveled a bit around Poland, he was in Bialystok and in Olsztyn where he showed interest in military facilities."
According to the Institute of National Remembrance
Bond was under strict surveillance
Location: British Embassy in Warsaw
as he tried to penetrate military facilities
in the Soviet satellite state
(SOUNDBITE) (Polish) DIRECTOR OF POLAND'S NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF REMEMBRANCE (IPN) ARCHIVE, MARZENA KRUK, SAYING:"He came to Poland in 1964. I think the first James Bond film was made two years earlier. At the time, 'Goldfinger' was being shown in cinemas, maybe it was playing games with Polish counter-intelligence, maybe he had a sense of humor."
