    Wartime relationships and Operation Modellhut controversy

    Historical accounts describe Coco Chanel’s relationship with German intelligence officer Hans Günther von Dincklage and allege that she participated in or was connected to Operation Modellhut. The extent of her intelligence role, motivations and degree of collaboration remain disputed among historians and biographers. She was questioned after the liberation of France but was released without prosecution.
