For the Luxembourgian sprinter, see Jean Moulin (athlete).
Jean Pierre Moulin (French:[ʒɑ̃mulɛ̃]; 20 June 1899 – 8 July 1943) was a French civil servant and resistant who succeeded in unifying the main networks of the French Resistance in World War II, a unique act in Europe.
He served as the first President of the National Council of the Resistance from 27 May 1943 until his death less than two months later.[1][2]
A prefect in the Aveyron (1937–1939) and Eure-et-Loir (1939–1940) departments, he is remembered today as one of the main heroes of the French Resistance and for his efforts to unify it under Charles de Gaulle.
He was tortured by German officer Klaus Barbie while in Gestapo custody. His death was registered at Metz railway station.[2][3]
