The Poles are shocked that it turns out that James Bond, whom not only they have long considered a figment of the imagination of the writer Ian Fleming, worked in their country under the guise of the military attaché of the British embassy.
Declassified documents in which it is written in black and white that “on December 18, 1964, an agent named James Bond arrived in Warsaw.” The files of the case of the alleged British intelligence officer were kept secret at the Polish Institute of National Remembrance.
At the time, Poland was behind the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union and was a communist country. Briton James Bond officially worked as an archivist for the military attaché of the British Embassy in Warsaw. For a long time, no one paid attention to the man. He only caught the attention of Polish counterintelligence officers when he tried to infiltrate a military base near the Soviet border.
But there is another opinion: Britain used a person with a different name, and issued his documents in such a way as to confuse the Polish intelligence. In fact, the man who worked as an archivist was called Jim.
Bond's widow, 88-year-old Janette Bond recalls that she never knew what her husband's mission in Poland was. She was simply told to join him in Warsaw for a more credible cover story. She does not provide any other details.
Ian Fleming began writing James Bond spy novels in the 1950s. The first film “Doctor No” was released in 1962, when the role of 007 was played by Sean Connery. Today, there are 26 Bond films with seven actors in the lead role.
