rectif J.P.AUMONT artiste de cinéma
engagé aux F.F.L. en 1941 aux E.U.
aide de camp du gl Brosset à la 1e D.F.L. nordmann le samedi 01 septembre 2007 Réponse :  "Nous ne fûmes pas les seuls à faiblir sous le charme de la jolie Maria. Exilé à Hollywood, un jeune acteur français, Jean-Pierre Aumont, en tournage sur le plateau de «Cross of Lorraine» (1943) avant de partir poursuivre - dans les F.F.L, pour de vrai cette fois - la guerre sur le sol natal, tombe amoureux de l'objet de notre attention. Le couple se marie à Hollywood le 13 juillet 1943."
"It was there that he made the war propaganda film, Assignment in Brittany, his first American film, which showed the plight of the people of occupied France and the French resistance. Not content with his success while his countrymen were still suffering under Nazi rule, Aumont joined the Free French Forces. His first assignment, however, was to appear in the film The Cross of Lorraine for MGM. The film had already been on the drawing board when Aumont announced that he was leaving to join the FFL so Louis B. Mayer simply changed the story to incorporate the FFL and DeGuaulle and used that as a means of retaining his new French star. Once this film was complete Aumont was shipped to North Africa and participated in the liberation of Italy and France."
Et finalement sur la fiche de J.P.Aumont à la fondation de la France Libre :
