Ceux de la Libération

Ceux de la Libération (CDLL; "Those of the Liberation") was a French resistance movement during the German occupation of France in World War II.

CDLL was one of the eight major resistance groups of the Conseil National de la Résistance (CNR).

In early 1942, Roger Coquoin [fr], a demobilized Captain and the head of the Chemistry Laboratory at the Académie Nationale de Médecine, met with the CDLL leader Maurice Ripoche.

[4] Under Coquoin's command, the CDLL expanded to Paris and the rest of France, gathering new volunteers in Normandy, Champagne, Bourgogne and Vendée.

After Coquoin was killed in an ambush in December 1943, Gilbert Védy, CDLL's delegate to the Provisional Consultative Assembly in Algiers, returned to Paris to head the movement.
