-
So there was a prisoner exchange between those Germans
-
and the last prisoners the Germans had taken, and had no nerve to shoot.
-
That is how we found out exactly what had happened to Louis Meunier.
-
Back to the Nazis in Mont Valérien: They refused to give themselves up to the resistance.
-
One of them said they would only give themselves up to the regular army.
-
Our commander went to see Colonel Rémy from the Leclerc Division,
-
who had been quarantined in the Bois de Boulogne with his brigade.
-
Colonel Rémy went up to the fort and they gave themselves in.
-
I didn’t have much time to enjoy the liberation.
-
During the transition period, I was responsible for the security of Raymond Barbet,
-
who was responsible for the resistance of the railroad workers.
-
He had organized the insurrection-strike of the railroad workers on August 10th, 1944, sparking the nation-wide insurrection.
-
I was responsible for his safety, as still collaborators and other dangers were lurking.
-
I myself went up to the fort on August 28th, August 29th.
-
We were organized militarily
-
and I had obtained the rank of lieutenant in the resistance and was given a section of 50 resistance fighters.
-
We called it the Louis Meunier section in his memory.
-
What I felt at the liberation? Well, a lot of joy!
-
It was like a big party.
-
Even those who hadn’t done anything or maybe taken advantage of the situation now called themselves resistance fighters.
