SECRET ARMY
AWAITING ALLIED LANDING IN FRANCE. VICHY GOVERNMENT REPORT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, September 27. A Vichy Government report reaching French circles in London estimates that the French secret underground army which is preparing to co-operate with Allied landing forces numbers 200,000. The document refers to the patriots as “A.S.” (Armee Secrete) and states that it was formed last year, when certain elements of the Regular and Territorial armies decided to cooperate with resistance organisations in preparing for an Allied landing. It probably is this army to which Marcel Deat referred yesterday.
