Answer 1

I did a search and it was a learning read.
============================
from WIlkepedia
Organisation de l'armée secrète (OAS — or Organisation armée secrète, lit. "Organization of the Secret Army" or "Secret Armed Organization") was a short-lived, French far-right nationalist militant and underground organization during the Algerian War (1954-62). The OAS used armed struggle in an attempt to prevent Algeria's independence. The OAS's motto was "Algeria is French and will remain so" (L’Algérie est française et le restera).

It was formed in Franquist Spain, in Madrid in January 1961, as a response by some French politicians and military officers to the January 8, 1961 referendum on self-determination concerning Algeria, which had been organized by General de Gaulle.

After the March 1962 Evian agreements, which granted independence to Algeria and marked the beginning of the exodus of the pieds-noirs (European settlers), the OAS attempted to prevent the on-going political process by a campaign of assassinations and bombings. This campaign culminated in Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry's August 22, 1962 assassination attempt against president Charles de Gaulle in the Paris suburb of Le Petit-Clamart.

The OAS still has followers among the far right movement. In July 2006, some OAS nostalgics lit up the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier's flame to commemorate the Oran massacre on 5 July 1962.

There was nothing else about its place in history. Sorry.

Answer 2

QuiteNewHere nails it. By the way, the book/movie "Day of the Jackal" is about one of the OAS's many attempts to assassinate Charles DeGaulle, as they thought he betrayed them over Algeria.
We do not need an OAS in the US: we already have several versions, from right-wing militias (the Oklahoma Federal Building bombing), the John Birch Society, and the modern day inept neo-cons who got us into the Iraq War.
In short, extreme right-wing nut jobs.
