Léon Gautier was one of the last three members of the Kieffer commando. He was engaged in the only battalion of France present on D-Day alongside the 132,000 allied soldiers.
He has devoted his retirement entirely to the memory of his unit, to the point where he has become its most vibrant incarnation today. He will give alongside Emmanuel Macron their green berets to the sailors who have just passed the commando course in Colleville-Montgomery.
