Alphonse Tanguy

A member of the Confrérie Notre-Dame network and fluent in German, he managed to get a job at the Keroman submarine base in Lorient. There, he managed to steal plans for numerous submarine bases. The Notre-Dame brotherhood network, betrayed by one of its own who had defected, is dismantled and Alphonse Tanguy is shot dead by a feldgendarme.
