Carlingue
The
Carlingue
(or
French Gestapo
) were
French
auxiliaries who worked for the
Gestapo
,
Sicherheitsdienst
and
Geheime Feldpolizei
during the
occupation of France
in the
Second World War
. The group, which was based at 93, rue Lauriston in the
16th arrondissement of Paris
, was active between 1941 and 1944. It was founded by
Pierre Bonny
, a corrupt ex-policeman. Later it was jointly led by
Henri Lafont
and
Pierre Loutrel
, two professional criminals that had been active in the French underworld before the war. Like the
paramilitary
Milice
, a large cadre of the group were recruited from criminal elements within French society.
