Réseau Gloria
The réseau Gloria SMH (Gloria network) was a
German occupation of France during World War II
.
The Gloria network was founded by Gabrielle Picabia, alias "Gloria", who was running it with
false documents
.
The Gloria network was infiltrated by Father
Nazis. Samuel Beckett and his companion Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil, were warned by Péron's wife and escaped arrest, fleeing to their friend the writer Nathalie Sarraute in the free zone.[1] In total, more than 80 members of the network were deported and many never returned from Mauthausen or Buchenwald
. The head of the network, Jacques Legrand, died in Mauthausen, and Péron died in Switzerland two days after his return from Mauthausen.
