Together, they produced three successive journals: “Bulletins d’informations et de propagande” (Information and Propaganda Bulletins), “Les Petites Ailes” (Little Wings) and then “Vérités” (Truths), before becoming directors of the "Combat" network, one of the most important resistance organizations. Furthermore, thanks to her contacts, Pierre de Froment and Robert Guédon were able to develop their activities in the resistance.:168 In 1941, Albrecht was hired as "inspector of female unemployment" for the city of Lyon. Since she was a well-known pre-war activist, Albrecht was closely watched by the French police and, no doubt, by the German military police as well. She organized a social service in the free zone that helped imprisoned activists and their families. She was arrested for the first time by the French police in January 1942. Released after three days, she was forced to resign from her position in Lyon. She was arrested by the Vichy government, end of November 1942, placed under administrative detention and refused a lawyer or a trial. She, along with other political detainees, went on hunger strike to obtain the right to a trial and her demand was met after 13 days. After being transferred to Saint-Joseph prison in Lyon, she was judged six months later and was condemned to spend the rest of the war in an internment camp set up by the Vichy government. On November 11, 1942, the Germans invaded the Free Zone in France. Fearing deportation, she took advantage of the reigning disorder to simulate madness and was interned in a psychiatric hospital (Le Vinatier in Bron). She escaped on December 23, 1942, thanks to an operation by commandos from the Groupes Francs de Combat and her daughter, Mireille. Refusing to leave France for England, Albrecht went into hiding, first in the Cévennes, at Durfort, then near Toulouse. She adopted a pseudonym: Victoria. At the beginning of February 1943, she joined Frenay in Cluny, finding refuge with Jeannine Frèze-Milhaud. In April 1943, Albrecht traveled to Marseilles to attend a meeting with
