He provided plans of all military posts in the zone.
He rescued and sheltered several allied pilots.
He had to his credit a first-rate file about traitors.
Through his agents he sabotaged the anti-aircraft fire on the Allied aviation during their passage over the (Chievres) airfield through the complicity of a German commander corrupted by one of his agents.
