The Comet Line was repeatedly infiltrated by German spies. One Belgian double agent (and fervent Nazi), Jacques Desoubrie, was singlehandedly responsible for the arrest of over 100 people working not only Réseau Comète, but other lines as well. Dumon identified Desoubrie as a double agent in Paris on May 7, 1944. (4/5)

Though in her 20s, because of her small stature, Michou Dumon appeared much younger. She had a false identification card which said she was 16 years old. According to one airman, she looked to be 12 or 13 years old. After the war, Dumon recalled an incident in which “her party was caught in a sudden blizzard & she assured the airmen that she knew the way ‘but had to ask the men to hold me down to prevent me from being blown over.’” (Kochanski, 2022) (3/5)
