ABSTRACT
The disasters suffered by Dunderdale’s section in 1941 and 1942 were a reflection of greatly improved German countermeasures in the Occupied Zone. Rémy’s Gaullist CND was also badly affected by these in 1942, but showed remarkable powers of regeneration and, during the winter of 1942/43, its output was important enough to SIS for its communications both by W/T and by fishing-boat operations to the west coast of Brittany to command very high priority: this was further enhanced when the Germans occupied southern France following the Allied landings in North Africa in November 1942, and brought a series of Polish-manned felucca operations from Gibraltar to a halt.
