Who was Georges Kubler?
This is the Montee Georges Kubler, the street in Lyon named after police inspector Georges Kubler. Born in 1913, Kubler was only 28 years old, the same age as the assassins in the Dormoy murder, when as an Inspector for the Police mobile of Lyon, he was given charge of the case. In November of 1943, Kubler joined the French Resistance as a member of the "Gallia" network based in Lyon. He and a colleague, Inspector Colle, were in charge of security. Arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Germany, Kubler died in a prison camp in 1945. So far, that's all Annette and I know about Kubler, although we have written to the Amicale of the Reseau Gallia and to the Centre d'Histoire de la Resistance et de la Deportation hoping that they can tell us more. So Annette and I have yet another "piste" to follow in our journey to research and write VENGEANCE: VICHY AND THE ASSASSINATION OF MARX DORMOY, and another unsung hero, along with Charles Chenevier, whose story we hope to tell. Wish us luck! . . . And if anyone out there knows more about Kubler, we'd be thrilled to hear from you!
