Jean Gabin Alexis Moncorgé, known as Jean Gabin (French: 17 May 1904 – 15 November 1976), was a French actor and singer. Considered a key figure in French cinema, he starred in several classic films.

Out of patriotism, he enlisted in April 1943 in the French Combatant Forces of General de Gaulle to liberate his country. Embarked as a gunner, gunner commander on the tanker Élorn, he crossed the Atlantic in a convoy bound for Casablanca. The convoy was attacked by submarines and German planes near the Mediterranean and off Cap Ténès. A volunteer in the Marine Rifle Regiment, he was a tank commander at his request, aboard the M10 Wolverine Souffleur II, under the orders of Ensign and future Vice-Admiral André Gélinet. He then belonged to the 2nd Squadron of the Marine Rifle Regiment of the famous 2nd Armored Division of General Leclerc.

In the spring of 1945, he took part in the liberation of the Royan pocket and then in the German campaign which took him to Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden. At the end of the war, he was decorated with the Military Medal and the War Cross.
