In march 1944 with a small group attended the fight with the Germans in St. Cloud de Charente. He and his comrades in arms were raněni, however, not fatally, but their bodies were found with prostřelenými heads, which is indicative of the fact that the Germans wounded executed. Their mortal remains were moved to Poitiers and buried..
