Rigoulot’s story began when he was arrested by the Nazis for striking a guard in a prison camp. 

He was put into a cell that was considered to be unbreakable, with bars that were made from the strongest steel available.

 However, Rigoulot managed to bend the bars of his cell and escape, freeing other prisoners along the way. 

This incredible feat of strength and determination made him an instant hero among the prisoners, and he soon became a symbol of resistance against the Nazi occupation.

After escaping from the prison camp, Rigoulot joined the French resistance and participated in numerous acts of sabotage against the Nazis.

 He was famous for his strength and bravery, and he was known as the “Strongman of the Resistance.” Rigoulot would often use his incredible strength to move heavy equipment and supplies that were needed by the resistance, and his feats of endurance helped to inspire his fellow fighters to continue the struggle.

Despite the danger and the risk of capture, Rigoulot continued to fight against the Nazis. He was eventually recaptured and imprisoned once again, but he did not give up his fighting spirit.

 Rigoulot managed to break out of his cell a second time, bending the bars with his bare hands. He then confronted the guard who had jailed him, and in a remarkable display of strength, he beat the guard in a fight.

Charles Rigoulot was a French weightlifter who gained fame for his incredible physical strength and his feats of endurance. However, during World War II, Rigoulot became something much more than just a strongman; he became a hero of the French resistance movement.
