Timeline of SOE's Prosper Network

Source đź“ť

813:, formerly SOE's intelligence officer, interviewed Josef Kieffer, former SD head in Paris, who had been captured after the war and was in an allied prison awaiting trial. Kieffer confirmed that Henri Déricourt had been a German agent of Karl Böemelburg, Kieffer's boss. Déricourt was known as BOE 48, Böemelburg's forty-eighth agent. However, Atkin's report of her interview with Kieffer was uncustomarily brief and vague. Kieffer did not confirm that he had made a pact of cooperation with Suttill or Norman, but said that Norman had "helped a lot" as had other SOE agents. Those agents who had not "helped" were Noor Inayat Khan, France Antelme, and Frank Pickersgill. Atkin's interview with Kieffer was conducted in the context of allegations being made in France that Suttill had betrayed his French associates. Moreover, the Suttill family was bitter at the lack of help and information given them by SOE. Author Helm speculated that Atkins manipulated and concealed information to coverup SOE's mistakes. 480:
their imprisonment to allow time for other Prosper agents who might be compromised to flee. Kieffer then demonstrated to them the breadth of his knowledge about the Prosper network. He gave them the impression that he had an agent in SOE headquarters, knew everything about Prosper, and that resistance to his questioning was futile. One or both of them is alleged to have made a pact with Kieffer to give him full information about the location of cached arms in return for their lives and the lives of other captured agents. Kieffer later said that Suttill "did not want to make any statement" but that Norman "who had not the integrity of Prosper , made a very full statement." Borrel apparently cooperated. Culioli is also alleged to have given information to the Germans.
709:. As the allies advanced, the Germans transported SOE agents imprisoned in France to Germany where most of them were executed. The radio game the Germans played with SOE had run out and Josef Kieffer, SD head in Paris, sent a taunting message to his opposite number, Maurice Buckmaster, at SOE. "We thank you," Kieffer said, "for the large deliveries of arms and ammunition which you have been kind enough to send us. We also appreciate the many tips you have given us regarding our plans and intentions which we have carefully noted. In case you are concerned about the health of some of the visitors you have sent us, you may rest assured they will be treated with the consideration they deserve." 107: 338:. According to Buckmaster, SOE wanted to quell growing French expectations of an allied invasion of France in 1943. However, Buckmaster contradicted himself in another book by saying that he received a top-secret hint that the invasion would take place in 1943. Historians have speculated that he told Suttill to increase the activities of his network to support the anticipated 1943 invasion (which did not occur until June 1944). In either event, Suttill's mood was grim. He criticized SOE headquarters for its mistakes, cited problems within his network, and said the network may have been penetrated by the Germans. 277: 295:. He proceeded to Paris where he joined his wife and, unlike most SOE agents, lived under his own name as he was a well-known pilot. DĂ©ricourt was designated as the air movements officer for Prosper, finding landing fields for clandestine flights from Britain, sending off and receiving passengers on those flights, and receiving supplies and messages. He acted also as a postman, collecting uncoded messages from agents in France for SOE Headquarters in London. DĂ©ricourt is alleged to have been a pre-war friend of 56:, Suttill had early success in finding French supporters willing to oppose the German occupation of France. Prosper soon had links from the "Ardennes to the Atlantic" in northern France with 30 SOE agents and hundreds of French associates. The destruction of Prosper began with the capture by Germans of Suttill and others in June 1943 and continued for months afterwards. SOE French Section headquarters in London, headed by 265: 228:, a courier for the Carte network, had his briefcase stolen by a German agent. The briefcase contained the names and personal information about more than 200 Carte supporters. The Germans continued to observe Carte, but did not take immediate action to arrest those people on the list. Suttill would unknowingly be in contact with many people on the Carte list as he built the Prosper network. 501: 532:
inserted into a message by a wireless operator to prove who was transmitting the message. Buckmaster refused to believe that the message was not genuine and sent back a reply to Norman's radio saying, "You have forgotten your double security check. Be more careful next time." He had inadvertently told the Germans how to transmit messages to SOE which would be accepted as genuine.

testify against Déricourt, nor was Vera Atkin's report of her interview of Kieffer presented as evidence that Déricourt had been a German agent. Déricourt was acquitted—to the fury of many SOE agents, including Atkins, who believed he had betrayed SOE. It remains a mystery why no former officials or agents of the now defunct SOE testified against Déricourt at the trial.

The Canadians brought with them several messages for other SOE agents and crystals for Gilbert Norman's radio. Their SOE-forged identification papers were out of date and they remained in hiding while Culioli had new documents made. 348:, arrived at a Paris cafe asking for "Gilbert" (DĂ©ricourt), and requesting evacuation to Britain. Without attempting to verify the bona fides of the bogus Dutch agents, several legitimate SOE agents met with them. The incident is significant because it illustrates the lack of attention to security by Prosper agents and the ease by which the network could be infiltrated. 182:, a horse groom who was to work for Suttill. Suttill hurt his knee on landing. He proceeded to Paris to meet Borrel in a cafe she was familiar with. Reunited with each other, the couple embarked on a tour of northern France, masquerading as a brother and sister who were selling agricultural equipment, and utilizing a list of contacts supplied to SOE by the 89:'s conclusions were that the errors were due to "terrible incompetence and tragic mistakes". Mark Seaman cited also the "efficient practices" of the German security forces. The opposing view, advocated by a few, is that Prosper was deliberately sacrificed by the British intelligence services as part of 555:
Through radio contacts and notes allegedly from Norman, a meeting was set up for Bodington and Agazarian to meet Norman at a Paris apartment.
