Citing the archives of Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), The Times said that 36-year-old agent was ostensibly to serve as a secretary-cum-archivist to the military attaché at the British embassy.
Bond came to the notice of Polish counterintelligence and was kept under close surveillance by officers, who described him as “interested in women,” according to a Facebook post by the IPN archives.
He probably concluded that he had no chance of gaining valuable information, and left Poland in January 1965, after less than a year in the country, the post added.
The Times noted that James Albert Bond’s mission in Poland started two years after the premiere of the first 007 movie, Dr No, and the arrival a diplomat with such a name probably automatically aroused suspicion.
