Crédit Républicain de Paris and Düsseldorf Postbank Bank AG

The plan
The firm was a minor pseudo-bank that operated by American, UK and French spies in southern Germany and France via the real Süddeutsche Bank AG and Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) between 1952 and 1957. The French subsidiary branches operated between 1955 and 1957. The plan was at first to run a front company for corporate espionage in the east and for snooping on suspect western firms.
