HISTORY of WWII INFILTRATIONS INTO FRANCE-Rev62-06102013 Tentative of History of In/Exfiltrations into/from France during WWII from 1940 to 1945 (Parachutes, Plane & Sea Landings) Forewords This tentative of history of civilians and military agents (BCRA, Commandos, JEDBURGHS, OSS, SAS, SIS, SOE, SUSSEX/OSSEX, SUSSEX/BRISSEX & PROUST) infiltrated or exfiltrated during the WWII into France, by parachute, by plane landings and/or by sea landings. This document, which needs to be completed and corrected, has been prepared using the information available, not always reliable, on the following internet websites and books available: 1. The Order of the Liberation website : http://www.ordredelaliberation.fr/english/contenido1.php The Order of the Liberation is France's second national Order after the Legion of Honor, and was instituted by General De Gaulle, Leader of the "Français Libres" - the Free French movement - with Edict No. 7, signed in Brazzaville on November 16th, 1940. 2. History of Carpetbaggers (USAAF) partly available on Thomas Ensminger’s website addresses: ftp://www.801492.org/ (Need a user logging and password). It is not anymore possible to have access to this site since Thomas’ death on 03/05/2012. http://www.801492.org/MainMenu.htm http://www.801492.org/Air%20Crew/Crewz.htm I was informed that Thomas Ensminger passed away on the 03/05/2012. I like to underline the huge work performed as historian by Thomas to keep alive the memory the Carpetbaggers’ history and their famous B24 painted in black. RIP Thomas. The USAAF Carpetbagger's mission was that of delivering supplies and agents to resistance groups in the enemy occupied Western European nations. Created in late 1943, their operations first flew from Tempsford, then Alconbury and finally out of Station 179, Harrington. Flying at first as two squadrons, they were given Provisional status as a Bombardment Group (801st) in late March 1944 just before they moved to Harrington. In May of 1944 two more squadrons were added to the group. In August of 1944, the group was redesignated as a formal group (492nd). Squadron designations were changed as well, becoming as follows for the duration of the war: - 36th BS changed to 856th BS - 406th BS changed to 858th BS - 788th BS changed to 859th BS - 850th BS changed to 857th BS Over five hundred members of the BCRA, Jedburghs, OSS, Proust, SAS, SIS, SOE and Sussex agents were inserted by the Carpetbaggers during the period of March 1944 through April of 1945. Mission reports of Carpetbaggers’ crews, most of Jedburghs’ mission reports, of SOE F and SOE RF can be downloaded from the Thomas Ensminger’s huge data bank. NB: The whole Carpetagaggers’crew mission reports were kindly provided by Thomas Ensminger. There is a Carpetbaggers museum located near Harrington (Northamptonshire – Great Britain): http://www.harringtonmuseum.org.uk/CarpetbaggerMuseumHomePage.htm 3. History of the RAF squadrons: The two Bob Body’s websites related to RAF squadrons 138 and 161 on website addresses: http://www.tempsford-squadrons.info/ http://www.161squadron.org/ There were two RAF squadrons based at Tempsford airfield; No 138 and 161 squadrons.

Missions were concentrated on the "moon nights" of each month at the beginning, where a full moon allowed for better night vision for the pilots. Since 1943, location device Rebecca (Plane) / Eureka (DZ) was used whatever the weather. NB : Some mission reports of RAF 138 Sqn, 161 and 1419 were kindly provided by Bob Body.

History of Jedburghs available on following website addresses: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedburgh http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/resources/csi/lewis/lewis.asp http://web.archive.org/web/20060421211454/freespace.virgin.net/arthur.brown2/index.htm The name JEDBURGH comes from a small town of Scotland. JEDBURGH was a special forces operation carried out by the Allied during WWII, which aimed to coordinate the action of the Resistance with the general plans of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) and to provide weapons and training to the Resistance, in France, in Belgium and in the Netherlands, in order to prevent the German to reinforce the Normandy coasts at the time of D-Day. Men of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), of the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and of Free French Bureau Central de Renseignements and d’Action (BCRA) as well as soldiers of the various armies of the countries concerned (France, Belgium, Netherlands) were parachuted in uniform (Some teams were dropped in civilian clothes such as Arnold Team), by teams of three, behind the German lines, to lead actions of sabotage and guerrilla against the Germans, and to coordinate actions of the Resistance. About 100 Jedburgh teams were dropped into France, Belgium and Holland between June and December 1944. Jed Nationalies dispatched into France : British : 91 Jed French : 108 Jed USA : 77 Jed Canadian : 2 Jed The Jedburgh Teams had in Europe: - 14 members killed in action. - 5 members dead from injuries, shot when prisoners or by accident. - 3 members killed due to bad dropping or parachute failure. - 11 members severely injured during fighting. - 4 members injured due to bad dropping. - 4 prisoners who escaped. 6. The Sussex Plan provided by the « Amicale du Plan Sussex » and his secretary Dominique Soulier. http://www.plan-sussex-1944.net/ Sussex Teams (January - September 1944): SUSSEX Plan was an operation in World War II in which men from the French Intelligence Bureau Central de Renseignements and d'Action (BCRA) were dropped into France from Pierre TILLET HISTORY OF WWII INFILTRATIONS INTO FRANCE-rev62-06102013 Page 2 of 90 Tentative of History of In/Exfiltrations into/from France during WWII from 1940 to 1945 (Parachutes, Plane & Sea Landings) January to September 1944. (See Memories of a Free French Secret Agent written by Gilbert Renault aka Rémy aka Roulier). Commander Kenneth Cohen for SIS (England), Colonel Francis Pickens Miller for OSS (USA) and Gilbert Renault (Rémy) for BCRA (France) were in charge of the SUSSEX Plan. Each of the 51 SUSSEX teams (29 OSSEX, 22 BRISSEX teams) comprised two military persons: an officer and a WT operator. (118 men and 2 women) After the war the surviving agents used to meet for a monthly reunion dinner at Madame Goubillon's café, located 8 rue Tournefort in the 5th arrondissement, which they painted and renamed “Café du Réseau Sussex”. Sadly the cafe is no more, Madame Goubillon died in the 1980s and the premises were transformed into a piano bar. In 1990, however, the mayor of the fifth arrondissement unveiled a plaque commemorating the role the cafe and its owner played during the war. (http://www.aerosteles.net/fiche.php?code=paris-sussex ) The volume 3 “Secret Intelligence Branch: SUSSEX ” of roll n°4 of « History of the London Office of the OSS » ref : M-1623 of NARA gave some information concerning the Plan SUSSEX, but unfortunately the agents’ reports are missing (pages 241 to 479). US Archives NARA provided some mission reports of SUSSEX/OSSEX teams. 2 Pathfinders teams and 52 Sussex teams were dropped from February to September 1944. The "Carpetbaggers" infiltrated about 46 SUSSEX agents and the RAF 62. Most of Carpetbaggers’ operations had names of car manufacturers: Ansaldo, Bentley, Benz, Cord, Desoto, Ellis, Lincoln, Plymouth, etc. The Sussex Teams had 10 members killed including a woman Evelyne Clopet. Jacques Voyer received the Cross of the Liberation. In Hochfelden , near Strasbourg, there is a museum dedicated to the Sussex Plan managed by Dominique SOULIER, son of an ex-Sussex agent Georges SOULIER . NB: Proust Project (February – September 1944): An auxiliary joint operation conducted by BCRA and SI/ OSS to the Sussex plan to build up a reserve pool of agents for any unforeseen exigencies of the post D-Day period and eventually became operational. Each Proust agent was trained as W/T operator and intelligence observer agent. The volume 4 “Secret Intelligence Branch - PROUST” of roll n°4 of « History of the London Office of the OSS » ref: M-1623 of NARA gave some information concerning the Plan PROUST, but unfortunately the agents’ reports are missing (pages 51 to 188). The PROUST missions were: Driver/Ascain, Monkey, Girafe, Midiron (sub-missions: Norman, Noël, Potage, Noir, Congé, Poil, Jument and Maréchal), Jambon, Mirnaloy, Voyageur, Bebe, Chat, Image, Marquise and Marcel. The "Carpetbaggers" dropped forty-six PROUST Project intelligence agents into France for SI/London. 7.

    Lons-le-Saunier, le 20 décembre 2018 Monsieur le Préfet du Jura Préfecture du Jura 8, rue Saint Désiré 39000 LONS LE SAUNIER Monsieur le Préfet, Vous allez prendre très prochainement un arrêté concernant les espèces susceptibles d’occasionner des dégâts (ESOD). Les échanges que nous avons pu avoir en CDCFS dans sa commission spécialisée ne nous paraissent pas satisfaisants quant aux arguments qui ont été retenus Aussi, nous souhaitions vous faire part des quelques éléments qui nous semblent importants, aux vues du contexte actuel et des dernières études pour au moins deux de ces espèces. Concernant le renard, Notre souhait est aujourd’hui de faire sortir cet animal de cette liste car il est désormais démontré que cette espèce est capable d’adapter sa stratégie de reproduction en fonction des aléas qu’elle subit, ce qui signifie que la tuer ne règle pas le problème, voire même engendre une augmentation des jeunes individus en recherche de territoire au détriment des plus vieux. Puisque néanmoins, il est encore difficile d’accepter cela pour certains, car le tir du renard reste hélas un loisir, nous aimerions au moins avoir la possibilité qu’il soit désormais classé comme la fouine l’est depuis plusieurs années. C’est-à-dire uniquement à proximité des élevages et habitations, et, puisque la question a également été soulevée lors de la CDCFS, à proximité et dans les aires protégées pour le Grand Tétras. Pour information, le département du Doubs, semble vouloir partir sur une gestion adaptative. Cette décision devra figurer dans l'arrêté ministériel. Les modalités précises de cette gestion restent à définir, mais elles seront mises en place sous la responsabilité des services de la préfecture et seront confiées aux membres de la formation spécialisée “ESOD” auxquels viendront s'ajouter des représentants de la santé publique et de la Fédération Régionale de Défense contre les Organismes Nuisibles de Franche-Comté.

    H-France Review Volume 18 (2018) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 18 (March 2018), No. 49 Sarah Shurts, Resentment and the Right: French Intellectual Identity Reimagined, 1898-2000. Newark/Lanham: University of Delaware Press/Rowman & Littlefield, 2017. xii + 337 pp. Notes, bibliography, and index. $110.00 U.S. (hardcover). ISBN 978-1-61149-634-5. Review by Sean Kennedy, University of New Brunswick at Fredericton. Presenting the history of French intellectuals in the modern era as a struggle between left and right is a long-established tradition, but in Resentment and the Right Sarah Shurts offers a fresh and compelling perspective. By identifying a recurring cycle of contestation over identity that ties in with long-standing debates over how to categorize the far right, the significance of the left-right dichotomy, and the character of French intellectual life, Shurts highlights the persistence of a distinctive pattern of extreme-right intellectual engagement. Ambitious in scope yet also featuring close analyses of prominent and less-prominent thinkers, her book is likely to spark further debate, and deserves considerable admiration. Well aware that she is on highly contested ground, Shurts carefully delineates her definitions of the terms ‘extreme right’ and ‘intellectual.’ With respect to the former she notes a veritable “wild west of terminology” (p. 15), the legacy of a long debate over the significance of fascism in France and the difficulties inherent in categorizing a diverse, often fractious political tradition. As for intellectuals, definitions tend to focus either upon values or sociological characteristics. Faced with various interpretive possibilities Shurts seeks to, borrowing a phrase from historian John Sweets, “hold that pendulum,” avoiding interpretive extremes.[1] In dealing with the extreme right, she concedes the findings of scholars who stress its diversity, the porosity of the left-right dichotomy as suggested by “crossover” figures, and the patterns of sociability shared by left and right-wing intellectuals.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and William Newsom, dated August 7, 2009, and Barbara Newsom, dated September 22, 2009 (by her executor), and Brennan Newsom, dated November 12, 2009.
