Days after France fell in June 1940, Charles de Gaulle appointed Andre Dewavrin to create, from scratch, the Free French Intelligence Service. Recruiting agents among the citizenry of Occupied France, Dewavrin managed cells of spies across the country, and focused their attention on one goal: preparing for D-Day. Hitler's fortifications along the European coastline - known as the Atlantic Wall - were their target. Gun battery locations, troop movements and more... All this information was funnelled back to the Allies, creating a living map of the French coastline.
