High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Carte Organisation was a putative organ of French resistance during the Second World War. It was the brainchild of André Girard, an artist who claimed to have at his command a secret army of hundreds of thousands of would-be résistants waiting to rise against the Germans once they were properly armed and led.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Carte Organisation was a putative organ of French resistance during the Second World War. It was the brainchild of André Girard, an artist who claimed to have at his command a secret army of hundreds of thousands of would-be résistants waiting to rise against the Germans once they were properly armed and led. Girard's 'secret army' existed mainly on paper and in the minds of a community of artists, musicians and students in the French Riviera. Realistically, the organisation extended no further than the group of people around Girard and his deputy Henri Frager, plus some other small groups. In November 1942, a list of names and addresses of hundreds of potential Carte members, drawn up by Girard, fell into the hands of the Abwehr. An assistant of Girard named André Marsac was carrying the list by train from Marseille to Paris. While Marsac slept on the train, an Abwehr agent stole the briefcase which contained the list. This fact was to have implications for the British Special Operations Executive with which Carte became entangled.
