Plaque in memory of the resistants of the Radio Investigation Group, which was created immediately after the Armistice to take back up the fight against Germany. There were as many as 400 RIG agents in continental France during the occupation. Captain, then Major, Gabriel Romon was the directeur of the center at Hauterive, and also technical director of the RIG. The RIG was officially charged with listening to military and civilian radio broadcasts, both national and international, for various ministries in the Pétain government. However, under wraps, it was preserving the radio listening capacity of the French Army, for the time when hostilities against Germany took up again. In November 1942, after the Allied landing in North Africa, and the occupation of the "Free" Zone by the German army, the Armistice Army was dissolved, along with its communications and transmission units. The RIG's resistance continued, but camouflaged among the activities of the Post Telegram and Telephone Office. Most of the RIG agents were arrested, deported and killed as the war ended. Only Paul Berman survived.
