At the start of
World War II, Le Roy joined the
French Air Force, where he became a radio technician. Following the
Battle of France, he tried to join
England in the war efforts, but he was denied. He then went to
Marseille, where he tried and failed to join
Free France. He was then contacted by Jean Le Roux, the main transmitter of the Réseau Johnny. He joined the network in 1941 with the mission of addressing the public on the
Occupation. He was taken prisoner on 16 February 1942 in
Quimper. He escaped, but was again captured three days later. He was imprisoned in
Angers,
Fresnes, and
Fort de Romainville. Le Roy was deported to
Natzweiler-Struthof in July 1943, then to Kommando d'Erringen, and lastly to
Dachau. He was freed on 30 April 1945 from
Allach. ==Bibliography==
