Composers Who Shot at Nazis, and Other Fun Things

[snyprrr]

I know Magnard died protecting his house in WWI.

Maybe some Composer with a CCL will thwart an attack somewhere in the midst of WWIII??

There was no nazi's in WWI, but you should read about the way Jehan Alain died. This is from Wikipedia:

"Always interested in mechanics, Alain was a skilled motorcyclist and became a dispatch rider in the Eighth Motorised Armour Division of the French Army. On 20 June 1940, he was assigned to reconnoitre the German advance on the eastern side of Saumur, and encountered a group of German soldiers at Le Petit-Puy. Coming around a curve, and hearing the approaching tread of the Germans, he abandoned his motorcycle and engaged the enemy troops with his carbine, killing 16 of them before being killed himself. He was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre for his bravery, and according to Nicolas Slonimsky was buried, by the Germans, with full military honours."
