Talk:Hede Massing

Massing's party talk with Hiss
Since Massing's Hiss trial testimony is public record and a significant part of her notability, it should be included in her page. The wording might need a little work though. Anybody interested in cleaning up the presentation? TMLutas (talk) 01:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have spent considerable time on the Massing story as it concerns Alger Hiss. The results can be found here. I think there's a lot that can and should be updated in the Wikipedia story:

 * Noel Field always denied this, but it is now certain that he simply lied.

Economical with the truth
It seems Mrs Massing had been a bit economical with the truth in 1950. An exhaustive german book on the Noel Field affair shows that the Massings worked with Soviet intelligence untill the end or the war. (Barth, Bernd Rainer and Werner Schweizer, Der Fall Noel Barth, 2 Vols., Berlin: Basis Druck publishers, 2005, 2006). --Radh (talk) 16:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Hede Masing was questioned by the FBI at first in connection with the extensive investigation of her first husband, Gerhard Eisler. Both Massings began to reveal their own activities more or less voluntarily (see the Field vols.) and then only very slowly. They named important names only after Chambers and Russians had given them away or only after these people were safe in Switzerland etc..--Radh (talk) 06:35, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
