Carre worked as a nurse and witnessed France's fall to the Germans. In 1940, she met a Polish Air Force Captain named Roman Czerniawski. Carré, who had contacts with the Vichy Second Bureau, joined the headquarters section of his Franco-Polish Interallié espionage network based in Paris under the cryptonym "Victoire". In November 1941, the Abwehr's Hugo Bleicher arrested Czerniawski, Carré and many other members of Interallié. She was interrogated, threatened with death and agreed to become a double agent. Pierre de Vomécourt, an agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) began to suspect her. When he confronted Carré, she confessed. She convinced Bleicher, and through him, his superiors, to send her to London to infiltrate the SOE. In London MI5 interrogated her about Abwehr techniques and played back her radio link for a period until her usefulness was exhausted, whereupon she was arrested. After the war, Carré was deported to France where she faced charges for treason. In 1949 she was sentenced to death, the sentence later being commuted to 20 years imprisonment.
