Carlingue

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Memorial plaque at 93 rue Lauriston in the 16th arrondissement of Paris in honor of the victims of the French Gestapo . After construction work was completed in April 2014, the memorial plaque was replaced with a new one, which now only says “Hommage aux héros de la Resistance 1940–1944”.

Carlingue , also French Gestapo (French Gestapo française or Gestapo - Bande de la Rue Lauriston ), was the short name for the French auxiliaries of the Gestapo .

From 1941 to 1944, Carlingue's headquarters were located at 93 rue Lauriston in Paris . The organization was headed by former police officer Pierre Bonny and Henri Chamberlin (known as Lafont ), who had several criminal records , and included professional criminals such as Pierre Loutrel (also known as Pierrot le fou ). The figures for the members of the organization range from 6,000 to 32,000 employees, depending on the source. Members of the Carlingue supported German occupation troops in January and February 1944 as members of the paramilitary Légion Nord-Afrikaine (LNA) under Alexandre Villaplane in German uniforms in the fighting against French underground fighters in the area around Tulle .

Many Carlingue members were arrested during the Liberation, sentenced to death and executed in 1945 . After 1945, the former Carlingue member Georges Boucheseiche († 1967 in Morocco ) made a career in the French foreign secret service Service de Documentation Extérieur et de Contre-Espionage .

The “Büro 3bis, square Cimarosa” in the novel is modeled on 93, rue Lauriston, where Lafont and Bonny had set up their offices so that they could torture prisoners in the courtyard and in the basement without being noticed by the neighborhood.
