  • Press Release Communiqué De Presse
    PRESS RELEASE COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT Dassault Aviation becomes a Patron of the Order of Liberation (Saint-Cloud, France, June 18, 2020) - Eighty years after General de Gaulle’s appeal of 18 June, Dassault Aviation is proud and honored to support the French Order of Liberation. To officialize this patronage, a meeting was held today at the Chancellery of the Order of Liberation, between General Christian Baptiste, national delegate of the Order, and Eric Trappier, Dassault Aviation Chairman and CEO. On June 18, 1940 General de Gaulle broadcast his call to resistance after France was left destroyed and defeated. He continued the fight and restored the honor of our nation by placing it in the winning camp. As of 1958, he went on to achieve tremendous progress, notably in the areas of the constitution, economy, diplomacy and defense. On November 16, 1940 General de Gaulle created the Order of Liberation to reward individuals or military and civilian groups (Companions) for their distinguished deeds in the liberation of France. Today, the Order pursues the mission of developing the spirit of Defense through the achievements of French Liberation Companions and Resistance Medal awardees. There are many similarities between De Gaulle's work and Dassault Aviation, and although the years and generations pass, they remain firmly rooted in the identity of our company, our management and our teams. Marcel Dassault was an engineer, an aviation genus, detained with his family and deported because he refused to collaborate with the occupying regime. After the war, he took the name Dassault, the alias given in the Resistance to his brother, General Paul Bloch; Paul Bloch was appointed Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honor by De Gaulle in 1946.

  • Retelling the Story of Rose Valland
    INTERDISCIPLINARY WRITING AWARD – 2016 Saving a Bit of Beauty for the World Retelling the Story of Rose Valland Claire Schwartz Dominican University of California n the United States, the term “WWII Hero” brings to mind images of jaunty, uniformed men in aviator I sunglasses, or the iconic black and white photograph V-J Day in Times Square, which depicts a sailor dramatically kissing a nurse. A Google image search of the same term yields 13,700,000 results of youthful soldiers saluting from jeeps, loading B-17 bombers, and, unapologetically, a crew-cut Brad Pitt commanding a tank in the 2014 film Fury. Conversely, a Google image search of “WWII Heroines” produces 1,230,000 results. One has to comb through ten pages of 1940s nurses, Rosie the Riveters, and Hollywood starlets before finding an unassuming photo of Rose Valland (1898–1980). This lesser known heroine is the French woman who risked her life spying on the Nazis to document names and descriptions of thousands of works of art stolen by the Nazis from 1941 to 1944. As an employee for the Jeu de Paume in Paris, the museum utilized to store artwork that had been looted by the Nazis, Valland was able to secretly record the provenance of artwork and the intended German destinations. Joining the French Military and traveling to Germany at the end of WWII, she tracked down the plundered artwork and assisted in the restitution of these works. When she returned to France, she became the curator of the Louvre and was awarded the following distinctions: Fine Arts officer in the French Armed Forces, non-combatant rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S.
