Becker established his headquarters (Baukommando Becker) at Maisons-Laffitte, on the northern outskirts of Paris. <br />His command utilized three former French automobile factories: Matford, Talbot, and Hotchkiss, all near Paris.<br />Becker sent his men out throughout the French countryside to retrieve every French vehicle, no matter its condition, and bring it back to the collection site at the Hotchkiss factory. <br />There, Becker’s staff would determine whether to scrap the vehicle or to use it. All useful parts were removed from scrapped vehicles.
