Réseau Morhange

[citation needed] The group organised direct action and counterintelligence against the German occupiers and collaborators of Vichy France.

However he continued to work with the British services against the German intelligence Abwehr whose objective was to track down French resistance fighters.

In November 1942, when Nazi Germany invaded Vichy France, Paillole fled to Spain before reaching London where he was welcomed by members of the Secret Intelligence Service before being transferred to Algiers.

Paillole orders reached Marchel Taillandier who led the Morhange group and the French resistance in Toulouse against the German occupier.

The B-24 was badly damaged by German anti-aircraft 88mm cannons and Arthur parachuted out of his stricken plane over Nazi-German-occupied France, eventually escaping with the help of the resistance through Spain and Gibraltar back via Bristol, England to the United States.
