Referring to documentary sources unfamiliar to narrow specialists, the authors reveal the undercover basis for the German and Austrian armies intelligence agencies’ activities in the territories of the Vistula and Baltic regions, the Volyn province in 1915-1916. Some tactical and psychological aspects of persuading potential agents to cooperate on a reimbursable basis are analyzed. The conclusion is made about the serious recruiting work carried out by the German and Austrian intelligence agencies, and the high level of training of many of their agents.
