for Paul to accept
Gilbert as the organisor of his visit. On this occasion there was an argument between them that Roger told me about. Roger had accompanied Paul to the secret landing strip. They had scarcely arrived when Gilbert told Roger to accompany Paul to London, telling him that the order came from F section in London. He opposed this order, and was embarked on the plane by force. Ignorant of all this, Paul also had his suspicions. I suppose Gilbert, who came into Kieffer's office daily and knew the SD officers well, had been informed by them of Roger's true role and he thus wanted to dispose of him by sending him to London with a denunciation on his head. If Gilbert had got there, Paul's position would have been shaken. There was a serious altercation between Paul and Gilbert. Only Paul's determination, threatening to use his pistol, prevented Roger from being kidnapped and transferred to London by force.

Frager also believed DĂ©ricourt to be a Gestapo agent and DĂ©ricourt suspected that Frager thought as much. Hugo Bleicher wrote in his book of his recruitment of Roger Bardet as V-Mann, and how Bardet had got into Frager's good books by revealing to him that DĂ©ricourt was a double agent working for Kieffer. There was no sympathy between Bleicher (and the Abwehr) and Kieffer (of the SD). Hugh Verity gives Bleicher's account thus:

A group headed by Frager sabotaged the celophane factory at Mantes, and reports and photographs of its missions were sent to London. Between June and August 1944, Frager's groups were supplied by 25 parachute drops, but Frager was betrayed by Bardet and arrested on 3 August 1944 and handed over to Bleicher on 8 August 1944.

Paul (Frager) once more took the plane to London. He hoped to return about 15 days later. His visit was facilitated by
Gilbert, who once more enjoyed the British's confidence and had become head of all personnel on the ground for secret flights and landings by SOE's French section. This made it hard
