Benjamin Halévy

Benjamin Halévy was a soldier during the Second World War. He born in France to Czechoslovakian-Jewish parents. When the war broke out, he was a sergeant in the French Army, acting as a translator for the Czechoslovakian soldiers who'd escaped their homeland and continued to fight Germany in France. He became a close associate of Vaclav Jezek, who became a very successful sniper as the war continued. After the Hess Agreement saw France align with Germany in 1940, Halévy traveled with Jezek and the other Czechoslovaks to Spain.
