Mesvin was the scene of an extraordinary act of courage by Gabriel Ottelet, a member of the Resistance during the Second World War. It was there that Gabriel Ottelet was killed on 5 June 1944. After shooting a German officer, he took refuge in the Mesvin postman’s attic, unaware that he, too, was wanted by the Germans for ration-coupon fraud. Thinking that the Germans were coming after him, Gabriel Ottelet escaped over the rooftops, but was shot by a sentry.
This work is Dridali’s emotional tribute to him.
