Description (What the record is about)
-
Raymond Georges Edmond LALOUX: Belgian. LALOUX was recruited by the Abwehr in 1943 to travel to Britain to collect information about the war effort. If his bid failed, his subsidiary aim was to go to the Belgian Congo where he would be given his intelligence task. Interrogated at Camp 020, he reluctantly admitted his intelligence role and his case was considered under the Treachery Act. He was deported to Belgium in 1945
