“The police at St. Tropez paid a visit at 4 p.m. to the house of Jean Darquier, former doctor, in retreat living at Villa Maya, the Carles quarter. Jean Darquier told them: ‘My brother Louis, the object of your researches, left France at the Liberation. The last news I heard of him, two years ago, was that he was in Madrid, with no settled address. He earned his living by giving French and English lessons. I have no idea at all if he is still there, and I have no other news of any kind’ ” (AN 3W142, 8 May 1963).
Louis liked to call his translation service a language school, and when he signed the contracts with the Ministry of Tourism, or when poor Myrtle did, he gave a fictitious address.
Roy Workman was probably living in lodgings in Northampton. He had continued his career—he was singing in The Student Prince at Luna Park in Melbourne in 1961.
De Bertadano was one of Myrtle's pallbearers.

Philippe Ganier-Raymond (?–1995): Journalist and historian, author of Une Certaine France: L'Antisémistisme 40–44, published in 1975. Céline's widow Lucette took action against it for its use of extracts and lampoons of Céline's writings. The book was seized and reissued in an expurgated edition, another reason for Ganier-Raymond's determined pursuit of Darquier. His daughter Natalie says his interest in French anti-Semitism had begun with the disappearance of Jewish children from his school. It is possible that Henry Charbonneau was Jean-Michel Bamberger's intermediary, and that it was Charbonneau who persuaded Darquier to allow Ganier-Raymond to interview him. Bamberger was unwilling to reveal the name of the intermediary in 1999, as his children are still alive, but implied a connection to the Degrelle family. Charbonneau died in 1982.

Serge Klarsfeld, November 1999. Maurice Papon (1910–): The quintessential Vichy functionary, a good republican and radical socialist who as préfet in Bordeaux had particular responsibility for Jewish affairs. Punctilious in the exercise of his duties, he oversaw the deportation of nine hundred political prisoners and 1,560 Jews—223 of them children—to Drancy and Auschwitz, and his achievements in the Aryanisation of Jewish assets were also considerable. Seamlessly transformed into a Gaullist at the Liberation, he held a series of distinguished appointments, and was elected as a Gaullist deputy in 1968, 1973 and 1981. In that year, Le Canard enchaîné finally exposed him. Jewish families of the Bordeaux deportees, supported by the work of Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, finally brought an indictment for crimes against humanity in 1983. After fourteen years of tortuous delays his trial began in 1997.
Aloïs Brunner (1912–?): A very small, dark and insignificant-looking Aryan, but the most practised and most vicious Nazi, the master exponent of the Final Solution. Worked for the CIA after the war before he took refuge in Damascus, where it is said that he lived under protection in the Meridian Hotel. Never brought to justice.
