Following France's capitulation in June 1940, Braquenié evacuated south to unoccupied, Vichy France with other Bruno staff, and subsequently served at the "Cadix" center that was then established near Uzès, not far from the Mediterranean Sea.
He was returning to the Cadix center, near Uzès in southern France, from a stint at Cadix's branch office at the Château Couba on the outskirts of Algiers.
From spring 1941, an LCD was used by the Polish Team Z at the Polish-, Spanish- and French-manned Cadix radio-intelligence and decryption center at Uzès, near France's Mediterranean coast.
After France's capitulation to Germany in June 1940, he served with his Polish cryptologist comrades at Polish intelligence Station 300 (French codename: "Cadix") near Uzès in southern, Vichy France's "Free Zone."
