In January 1942, he was appointed département head for Libération, a newspaper he got printed by Grouiller in Montélimar. He was head of the United Resistance Movements and an agent of the committees on parachute drops, in charge of the Faber landing field north of Marsanne. On October 12, 1943, the Gestapo arrested him and his assistant, Chartron, and took them to Marseilles where they were tortured. They did not talk and were deported, never to return.
