Rubis submarine in WWII

Hello All,
I just discovered this forum and signed up today.

My Dad was in the Free French and was a sailor on the Rubis submarine. Apparently French TV station BFMTV just aired a documentary on this and posted this photo of the Rubis crew in June 1940. My Dad is in the back row, fourth from the left. He escaped occupied France in 1940 at the tender and rebellious age of 16. Heroic and undeterred!

If anyone out there has any knowledge or connection to this slice of history please contact me. I'd love to connect.

Welcome. One of the people that used to frequent this site, user name of "Skipper" has a fair knowledge of French naval matters. He's mentioned in this thread but I didn't see how to get to his facebook page:

Thanks Lwd!
I hope Skipper sees this thread. I'll try to reach out to him.
