He lived from 1922 to 1982 and was sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp in World War II.
He survived until the end of the war and then became a priest, joining the order of Picpus fathers (which is the same one that St Damien of Molokai belonged to).
He became a missionary to Peru and a bishop. Apparently he lived with and supported the Peruvian Indians and died a violent death there.
A interesting story and someone I had never heard of.
Hi Paul, I couldn't find the information about Loius Dalle on your link. On Wikipedia, I discovered he died in a bus accident:

Indeed, officially a bus accident. He survived the concentration camps of the right wing but not the left wing guerilla attacks of the shining path. Vaya con Dios.
