The whole SOE operation in France was a can of worms.
There is some credibility in the theory that the actions of Dansey, Kieffer, Bommelberg, Dericourt and Boddington led to the French Resistance and hapless SOE agents being used in strategic deception to fool the Germans that an invasion was imminent in France earlier than D-Day.
I do recall reading that de Gaulle forced a policy of no French nationals being used as SOE agents. So the recruiting base was limited to French speaking foreigners.
There was also the long term problem in that the majority of resisters were Communists and there was a determination that they would not rule a post war France. This allegedly led to Generals Le Clerc and Patton being diverted to liberate Paris with de Gaulle in tow
