Agent of the Nazis Coco Chanel?
The Coco Chanel, the grande dame of French fashion, was a spy of the Nazis during World War II, according to book released today in the United States.
The American journalist Frans Vaughn, who lives in France, is the author of a new biography of Coco Chanel and declares that in writing the book, used a wealth of material of French, British, German and American archives.
In his book entitled "In bed with the enemy, the Secret War Coco Chanel", writes that in 1940, aged 57 years, Coco Chanel recruited by the Abwehr, the intelligence services of the German military staff, to become the Agent F-7124, code-named Westminster, the name of her former lover and friend of the Duke of Westminster.
On behalf of the Abwehr, is sending to Spain in August 1941 along with another agent of the Nazis, the Baron Louis de Vofrelan, who is responsible for recruiting new agents. Hopes, according to the book, to obtain in exchange the release of his nephew Andrew, who is a prisoner in a German concentration camp.
This is when you fall in love with a German officer and agent of the Nazis, the Baron Hans Gunther von Ntinklatz or "Spatz" in which we maintain long-term relationship. This will bring together the Baron Louis de Vofrelan, former agent of the Gestapo in Maros. And that will allow her to live for years on the 7th floor of the Paris Hotel Ritz, where Hermann Goering frequented and Joseph Goebbels. Eventually, Cocoa Chanel will live the last 37 years of her life in the Ritz, where he will die in 1971.
A few months ago, "Spatz" he had encountered, according to the book, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels in Berlin, on a trip where he was accompanied by Vofrelan.
The Chanel in 1944 will visit Madrid, where they will receive substantial payments from a Gestapo officer.
The Von Franz tells also how Coco Chanel sought through contacts with the Nazis to give control of the perfume Chanel, of which belonged to a small part, because the largest share was under the control of the brothers Vertchaimer.
And how in the release, the grande dame of French fashion was arrested, to be released a few hours later with the intervention of a friend of Winston Churchill.
The Coco Chanel always denied that he had collaboration with the Nazis.
