In addition to holding his official
post, the Mayor owned a factory
which: made precision instruments
for ships. During the war, he lost
all his personal fortune, by stalling
on German orders and continuing
secret ‘work for the Free French
Navy. I have read the record of
the factory. The German orders
came in regularly: for 10,000 fuel
meters in 1941, for 10 periscopes
in 1942, for 1,200 echo-recorders in
1943. Nothing was ever delivered,
because there never seemed to be
enough steel, or enough labor, or
enough something, to fill the or-
ders. Meanwhile, periscopes went
to the French, and inside informa-
tion on the German Navy went to
Allied headquarters in London.

Madame helped her husband, and
also worked ceaselessly on her
own. She made an abandoned stable

The secrecy, the danger, the sil-
ence, must have been almost un-
bearable, day after day, year after
year. But time was marked by
moments of greater suffering. Of
the four Carpentier sons, one was
killed and one was imprisoned.
Madame herself was arrested.

In 1942, Jacques was killed in a
submarine off N, Africa, through
some terrible irony, not. by the Ger-
mans but by the American invaders.

In 1948, Gilbert tried to join

him across the mouth with their
gun butts, deprived him of food for
days at a time, but he never ad-
mitted his purpose. He simply said
that he was looking for his brother
Jacques. At last an anonymous
letter came to Madame, telling of
Gilbert’s whereabouts. She im-
mediately set out to rescue him.
Because she spoke German, and be-
cause she had an official notice of
Jacques’ death, she succeeded. If
Jacques had not been killed by the
Americans, Gilbert undoubtedly
would have been killed by the Ger-
mans. One brother literally gave
his life for the other.
