Samuel Tyszelman

[2] During World War II (1939–1945), he was a member of the French communist resistance organization known as Bataillons de la jeunesse.

In early August 1941, three of them (Tyzelman, Charles Wolmark and Elie Walach) stole 25 kilograms (55 lb) of dynamite from a quarry in the Seine-et-Oise.

[3] On 13 August 1941, Tyszelman, known as "Titi", was among a group of 100 young people, male and female, who walked out of the Strasbourg – Saint-Denis metro station and followed the tricolour flag of student Olivier Souef.

Tyszelman, pursued by German soldiers who were aided by an emergency police van of the 19th arrondissement, was finally arrested in a cellar of 29 Boulevard Magenta, where he had taken refuge.

At a session from 15 to 17 August it was agreed that members of the JC should receive weapons training and should increase sabotage and attacks on occupation troops.

[6] On 21 August Pierre Georges and three companions made a revenge killing of a German soldier named Alfons Moser when he was boarding a train at the Barbès metro station at eight in the morning.
