He hides out in the Spanish Moroccan hamlet of Talamrhecht, and on occasion sneaks across the border to shoot up his old home town of Tizi Ouzli, or to ambush passing convoys.

He was riding in a car with several rescued British parachutists when he fell into a German ambush; to let the British escape, he ran across a field to draw German fire, was shot in the thigh, ran on until other shots brought him down...
