Abstract:

In this article, I discuss the unknown in the historiography case of establishing cooperation between the Polish military intelligence and its course with Hans Wieser, working in the Soviet Union German engineer and a ballistics expert, who, as it turned out later, was a Soviet agent. Cooperation with Wieser took the code name the “Projectile” Affair. Th anks to Wieser, the Soviet counterintelligence caught in the act of a Polish military intelligence agent, Lieutenant Stefan Kasperski aka Albert Ran, after he had received spy materials. The Ran affair was the biggest failure giving away the weaknesses of the Polish intelligence in the Soviet Union in the 1930s.
