A few days later, while the revolution leader was trying to get the radio to work, the parcel exploded, killing him instantly along with two deputies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"print-hidden js-shortcode\"><\/div>\n<p>This was the French secret services\u2019 first major \u201chomo\u201d operation against the FLN and its supporters, both in Algeria and abroad. It was the harbinger of other stunts, as clandestine and spectacular as the first, to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A list of 30-odd names was drawn up with the approval of the \u00c9lys\u00e9e<\/strong>\u00a0and in coordination with Matignon and the SDECE. It included German and Swiss arms dealers, FLN lawyers, prominent foreign FLN supporters and Algerian authorities based out of Morocco, Tunisia and Europe.<\/p>\n<h3>Collateral damage<\/h3>\n<p>In the thick of the Algerian War, the French intelligence services\u2019 primary targets were dealers and traffickers supplying the FLN with weapons and munitions. Three such men were hunted down for years with the express purpose of neutralising them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A former Gestapo member based out of Yugoslavia,<\/strong>\u00a0the German national Wilhelm Beisner sold weapons in the Arab world and divided his business dealings between Cairo, Damascus and Munich. The FLN was part of his customer portfolio and he oversaw the training of Algerian recruits in camps in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>When SDECE agents ordered him to suspend his business dealings, he did little to heed their warnings, referring to the threats as something out of a \u201cbad novel\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But the French secret agents weren\u2019t fooling around.\u00a0<strong>In June 1957, Action Service operatives<\/strong>\u00a0planted an explosive device in Beisner\u2019s Munich residence. He lost both legs in the attack, but miraculously survived after undergoing surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Otto Schl\u00fcter almost had the same fate.<\/strong>\u00a0On paper, this German citizen was an armourer for the State of Hamburg. But in the SDECE\u2019s eyes, Schl\u00fcter was also a supplier of the Algerian Maquis. In September 1956, his office complex was bombed; one of his employees died in the explosion.<\/p>\n<p>He continued to receive warnings after the attack, including a small wooden coffin with the following message inside: \u201cBeware! Second and final warning. Immediately cease your foul business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On 3 June 1957, his Mercedes exploded as he entered the car alongside his mother and daughter. His mother was killed instantly and his daughter injured. He survived the attack with just minor injuries. One year later, he escaped another attempt on his life disguised as a car accident.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018La Main Rouge\u2019, an SDECE proxy<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The German police were entrusted with the investigations<\/strong>\u00a0into these mysterious attacks and groped in the dark for several months before the judiciary was able to name the guilty parties and backers.<\/p>\n<p>In April 1959, the public prosecutor of Frankfurt openly accused the organisation\u00a0<strong>\u201cLa Main Rouge\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0[The Red Hand] of being behind the attacks and made it clear that the terrorist group was presumably working with the French secret services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"print-hidden js-shortcode\">\n<section class=\"email-collector\">\n<div class=\"email-collector-header\">\n<div class=\"email-collector-header-content\">\n<p class=\"email-collector-header-content-text\"><strong style=\"text-transform: initial;\">Created in Morocco in the early 1950s with a membership supposedly<\/strong><span style=\"text-transform: initial;\">\u00a0comprising colons ultra [ultra-colonists], \u201cLa Main Rouge\u201d was in reality an SDECE proxy.

On 5 November 1958, in Bonn, his car was sprayed with bullets. He would die a few months later as a result of his injuries, at the age of 28. Once again, the attack bore the mark of \u201cLa Main Rouge\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Brothels and arms trafficking<\/h3>\n<p>Marcel L\u00e9opold made his fortune running brothels and opium dens, among other businesses, in China in the 1930s, before he returned home to Switzerland to work in the arms trade,<strong>\u00a0selling weapons to the FLN.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46513\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46513\">\n<div id=\"attachment_21031\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21031\" class=\"wp-image-21031 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sol-1024x847.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sol-1024x847.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sol-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sol-768x635.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sol.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21031\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FILE &#8211; In this May 27, 1956 file photo, French troops seal off Algiers&#8217; notorious casbah, 400-year-old teeming Arab quarter.

The Swiss national delivered explosives to the Algerian Maquis through another arms dealer, Georg Puchert, a German originally from Latvia.<\/figure>\n<p>Nicknamed Captain Morris,\u00a0<strong>Puchert got rich from cigarette smuggling before shifting over to the arms trade,<\/strong>\u00a0transporting weapons via his small fleet of boats. One of his bases was none other than Morocco, which housed the top brass of the National Liberation Army (ALN) during the war.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Puchert ended up in the cross-hairs of the French secret services, who blew up four of his boats in Morocco, Germany and Belgium. But it wasn\u2019t enough to scare Captain Morris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Built like a nightclub bouncer,<\/strong>\u00a0smarter than average and with a reputation as a daring, cutthroat businessman, Puchert was such an important figure in the arms trade that he attended a meeting in Tunis held in 1956 by Krim Belkacem, one of the most significant leaders of the Algerian Revolution, as he would later serve as chief negotiator of the March 1962 \u00c9vian Accords that brought an end to 132 years of French occupation of Algeria.<\/p>\n<p>On 3 March 1959, Puchert\u2019s Mercedes 190 exploded in Frankfurt, killing him instantly.\u00a0<strong>SDECE operatives had planted a car bomb the previous day.<\/strong>\u00a0One year before his murder, he received a coffin-shaped parcel as a warning. In 2006, 44 years after Algeria\u2019s 1962 independence, Puchert\u2019s remains were repatriated to Algeria where he was interred as a martyr.

Like other members of the group,\u00a0<strong>he received several threats via letter with a brief promise: \u201cYOU WILL DIE\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0On 21 May 1959, a hit man entered Aoudia\u2019s Paris office and shot him in the heart.
