Jean-Pierre Mourer

Jean-Pierre Mourer (19 August 1897 in Wittring, Moselle – 10 June 1947 in Île Napoléon [fr], Mulhouse) was an Alsatian politician.

[1] A railway employee, Mourer joined the French Communist Party and was elected to parliament in April from the second constituency of Strasbourg.

[1] In parliament, he was a member of the committees on Algeria, colonies and protectorates, liberated regions, hygiene and economy.

[2][3] His appointment as Kreisleiter materialized in spite of reservations from the Gestapo, who were reluctant to see a former communist occupy such a strategic office.

[4][5][6] Notably, evidence in Mourer's case focused primarily not on collaboration during the occupation itself but rather on the contacts he allegedly had with Germany prior to the war.
