Henri Devillers (1914–1942) was a V-mann (agent for penetration) for the Abwehr III F (Nazi counter-espionnage). Devillers was taken prisoner in 1940, and obtained his freedom in exchange for promising to work for the German services who assigned to the Hachette messageries. Once a week, he made a link between Paris, Vichy and Lyon. Devillers was detected by counter-espionnage of the armée de l'armistice and arrested by the Surveillance du Territoire towards the end of January 1942. Foiled, he was tried and sentenced to death. He was shot by a platoon of the Lyon garrison on 19 June 1942.
