Fernand Bonnier de La Chapelle
Fernand Bonnier de La Chapelle, born in 1922 in Algiers and executed in that city on December 26, 1942, was a member of the French resistance who shot Admiral of the Fleet François Darlan, the former chief of government of Vichy France and the self-named high commissioner of French North Africa and West Africa, on December 24 1942. For this act, Bonnier de La Chapelle is considered a hero of the French resistance to Nazi tyranny in World War II.
