Louis Feutren became a French teacher at St Conleth’s in Dublin after escaping from France after the second world war.
He had a taste for violent punishments and bizarre humiliations that terrorised pupils. He liked to reminisce about the second world war, when he had joined a Breton nationalist group that fought on the side of Germany. And he showed pictures of himself in uniform. The board was due to discuss his request at a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, said Goñi. The school did not respond to a request for comment.in hope of establishing an independent Breton state. The unit wore SS uniforms and guarded an interrogation centre at Rennes. Feutren was a junior officer with the rank of Oberscharführer. After the war the entire unit was sentenced to death for crimes against Jews and resistance fighters, said Goñi.
Kieran Owens, who attended the school from 1966 to 1974, said Feutren inspired respectful fear. “No one would consider crossing Mr Freuten. He was a volcano ready to erupt at any moment. If there was any sort of transgression he would be very, very, very swift and violent. I witnessed him bashing a guy; the guy flew across the room.”after newsletter promotion
