Fonds description :

Archives of section 0.K.90. (Liège) of the intelligence network Zéro.

These archives originate from René Duchamps, an agent of the intelligence network Zéro, and can be considered as a complement to the fonds AA1137. They contain, for example, files about persons mentioned in this inventory. The archives mainly cover the period after the Liberation of September 1944, with a few exceptions, and bear for the most part on the liquidation of the network. Some of the principal members of the network were recruited by the State Security after the Liberation with the mission to collect military and political intelligence and to liquidate the network, that is to say to identify former agents and provide material aid to some of them. René Duchamps was among those who were recruited.
