Assassinat de LUIGI DRAGO, consul d'Italie à Bdx

Funerals on august the 24th in 1943 in Bordeaux !






>> Concerning the photo i put on this website above is taken from "Bordeaux city Archivs" and it is known as "Luigi Mami, officer of OVRA, killed rue Lacomée in Bordeaux by a member of FTP group "Bourgeois" on august 24th of 1943. Funerals took place on 27th where the convoy leave from italian consulat, 84 rue de la croix blanche to Saint Seurin Cathedral .... In this case, he was certainly buried in the "Chartreuse" cemetery ....
Is Luigi Mami the same guy as Luigi Drago ??











Best regards !

many thanx erwann ! hope to find out more about this mysterious man, luigi drago from the italian consulate in bordeaux ! maybe others might know something ???



ron.

Hi Ron,

Can u please add names on the photos ... We recognise the feldkommandant Knoerzer, The commandant of Betasom Enzo Grossi (is it really him)!
I do not recognize civilians like the mayor or other people !...

Secondly, only the name "luigi mami" is reported in the police reports !! So what do we have to think ??

Best regards

erwann...the only people i know of are elvira erlanger/drago and alexi erlanger, whom are in the photo standing behind the man holding the pillow with drago's awards . the only reason i recognize them is due to the fact that i possess their personal records of family letters/ history/fotos and ashes. luigi drago was alexi erlanger's step father some time after elvira and alexi escaped the russian revolution from moscow to nervi, italy in 1923. she then became involved with drago, who was previously a doctor, then became mayor in that area. how he became a bigwig in the consulate at bordeaux is still a mystery yet to solve. all i knew was this extravagant funeral took place in bordeaux in 1943.

alexi erlanger lived here in buffalo, new york until his death in 2002 at 88 years. he lived with his mother ever since he was born, until the day she died ! that is undying love for one's mother which seems very strange for a lifetime. he was manfred roeder's secretary and liason from 1974 until he died.

the italian press (La Stampa) gave the news of Drago's dead on May 12 1943 ???

On 19th of may 1943, aldo CECCHI, regent of italian consulat signed the official papers from consulat ... so where vas Luigi mami ??

Luigi Drago was the Consul dead on May 12,1943
Aldo Cecchi was then the regent as the letter of May 19
And who is Luigi Mami? Or better does he existed?

We found out that Luigi Drago was an Alpin and the Alpin group of Nervi was founded by him in 1922... By the way I wrote to the italian Foreign Office...

New information : The funerals took place on may 14th ! But we do not ever know if Luigi mamy existed or not ...??

I guess that, maybe,there is some mistake in the reported infos from Resistance or, alternatevely, he was murdered one week after but, as "secret agent", there are no traces of him...
