Re: French Gestapo Agent
Joseph-August Ricord was not prosecuted in France and files of french auxilliaries of the german Gestapo of rue Lauriston destroyed.
Facts reported by Philippe Aziz (author of several books upon french auxilliaries of the gestapo). He conducted investigations upon him.
If you wish full infos upon Ricord. I suggest you this US source :
Ricord (auguste Joseph) V. U.s. U.s. Supreme Court Transcript Of Record With Supporting Pleadings.
Anyway if you have any infos which can confirm or infirm these datas, we wil be happy to share your vision of "historian".
