      A certain Georges Lecoz reached Loches, a little town, towards the end of 1944. Self-described as a doctor, he quickly won the confidence of the civilians , telling the most self-assured that he was actually an agent from London sent to spearhead local resistance in the area rather than a practicing physician. Having grown the trust of local resistance, he established his own *Maqui*s, a tiny group of guerilla fighters, and gave it the name “*Maquis Lecoz.”* He entered Loch as a liberator after having multiple victories against the occupation with 250 soldiers under his command, killing and wounded 300 Germans, while also having been officialized as a member of the resistance by the gouvernement of London, receiving weapons drop in the summer of 1944.

      But everything went south very fast. Lecoz started acting in an increasingly problematic way; he turned hostile and killed about eighteen persons without a trial. Following numerous gatherings and great parties in Laveshing Castle, he would consume alcohol, get stoned with Meth , and become increasingly aggressive toward everyone. He once brutally murdered three of his own men for wishing to leave the Maquis and join the official local resistance group (FTPF and A.S.), even though the core of the troop were real patriots, mostly young person, a few dozen of his men led a brutal campaign of looting in the area, while being led by Lecoz.

      Following the liberation , it came to light that George Lecoz was actually Georges Dubosq, a serial killer and thief who search for theft and murder in more than 20 village around France. Moroever, Dubosq was recruited by noneother than the Gestapo and order him to hunt down members of the resistance, political dissident or jews, he was responsible for the downfall of a numerous number of local network who worked for the resistance, he was known for turturing and executing his victim.

      His name and action darnish the Maquis for a very long time in rural France.
