L'état-major du général Eisenhower a organisé le plan Sussex en prévision du débarquement en Normandie. A cette occasion, dès le début du mois de février 1944, jusqu'à la libération complète de la France, des équipes de deux agents en civil sont parachutées derrière les lignes ennemies pour infiltrer et renseigner les Alliés sur l'ordre de bataille allemand. ©Electre 2025
The sussex plan
Secret War in Occupied France 1943-1945
The Sussex Plan was a secret trilateral French, British and American secret mission. It was planned by General Eisenhower's Staff as an intelligence-gathering effort in support of the Allied landings in Normandy.
Under the command of the British MI6, American OSS and French BCRA, 120 m en and women were chosen to carry out this daring plan which relied on undercover, plain-clothed two-man teams made up of a radio operator and an observer. Parachuted behind enemy lines from February 1944 until the complete liberation of the French territory, these teams' main task was to send a constant flow of intelligence reports on the German order of battle.
In addition to the Sussex Plan, the Proust Plan, which is presented in this book for the very first time, was a combined Franco-American intelligence gathering operation. From D-day, the Proust Plan was active in the American Area of Operations, deploying a total of 65 field agents to carry out both intelligence and direct action missions.
