The Gingembre betrayal nearly destroyed the entire O.A.S. leadership

Evidence

The O.A.S. network in metropolitan France probably never recovered from Gingembre’s revelations, while in Algeria networks throughout the western region were smashed; Godard’s secretary was captured, but he himself once again escaped. As Susini later admitted: “The O.A.S. general staff as a whole was almost arrested. Liaison was broken off; some of our agents abruptly disappeared; for two weeks the wheels of the Resistance stopped turning. We barely escaped total disaster.” — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1493
