Pierre Virol
Pierre Virol was resistant a French.
It was printer with Colombes (Hauts de Seine), street of the Memory. The name of this street was changed to become " street Pierre Virol" in remembering this man died with Mauthausen little before the arrival of the allied forces.
Pierre Virol resisted the enemy presence by printing false paper clandestinely (indentity card, tickets of food, etc) intended for the allied pilots (generally of the RAF, therefore English or Canadian) fallen into the area. Made in filigree paper, the plugs, were given to him by an civil servant of the town hall of Doves, Paul Bouchu (elected mayor in 1947).
Pierre Virol was denounced, stopped like his daughter. Both were tortured. His/her daughter was it in front of Pierre Virol to force it to speak and denounce the network to which it belonged. None as of these people spoke.
Mrs Virol was not stopped. She was absent at the time of the arrest of her husband and her daughter. She saw this action since the other end of the street of the Memory.
The informer was cut down by Canadian pilots in 1945. They had attended the arrest, hidden in the house.
