a resistance fighter and a member of the Alsace fighter group (No. 341 Squadron RAF). Georges Montet, who was likely a double agent, offered to get Grosjean a job as a ferry pilot with Lufthansa. Although how and when they met is unclear, Grosjean wrote that he spoke to a British agent called "Richardson", who was working in Wattignies in northern France. Richardson told Grosjean to take the position. Grosjean met with Georges Montet at his apartment but there were two other men there, one of whom was a German colonel in civilian clothes introduced as "Pierre". According to the French author Patrice Miannay, this was likely the Abwehr operative Pedro Köpke. "Pierre" offered Grosjean a different job--a German mission to fly to Allied territory, enlist in the Free French Air Forces, gather and submit information on Allied operations, and steal a plane. He would receive significant remuneration if he could deliver a plane with new navigational equipment. Grosjean wrote that "Pierre" assured him that the mission was safe; he also wrote that "Richardson" told him that he would be "protected". According to a report by the London Reception Centre (LRC), an MI5 interrogation office, on June 5, 1943, Grosjean was transported to Spain. He was kept in a Barcelona safe house, where his new handler gave him a detailed cover story and then took him to the British Consulate. Grosjean applied to be evacuated from Spain and expected to wait for the process to be completed. However, on June 19, the British unexpectedly placed him in the custody of two French Air Force members, who took him on an arduous hike, by train and on foot, to Lisbon. Grosjean wrote that he had been given special ink for writing letters; as he feared for his family's safety if it appeared that he disobeyed Pierre's orders, he wrote to Pierre from Lisbon. However, as all of this was part of the Double-Cross System, it is likely that Pierre knew in advance that this is what would occur. Grosjean reached England in July 1943 and spent ten days being interrogated at the LRC. He reported all details of his German assignment, providing intricate details such as the license plate numbers of vehicles used by collaborators. He was told that if he worked for Britain, he would correspond with the Germans, with the goal of finding spies in Britain, and of giving
