Page "Kim Philby" Paragraph 4

Upon Philby's graduation, Maurice Dobb – a fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and tutor in economics – introduced him to the World Federation for the Relief of the Victims of German Fascism in Paris.

The World Federation was one of innumerable fronts operated by the German communist Willi Münzenberg, a member of the Reichstag who had fled to France in 1933.

Dobb, a Communist sympathiser, also placed Philby in contact with the Comintern underground in Vienna, Austria.
