1944

In an interview with Jack Belden, published in Life magazine in 1944 under the headline 'The Girl Partisan of Chartres', Segouin and "Lieutenant Roland" explained that Segouin's involvement with the Resistance arose after the two met when she was 17.

In order to join the Francs-Tireurs et Partisans - communist resistance forces, Segouin obtained false identity papers, which established her as Nicole Minet. These papers identified her as being from the port of Dunkirk, which had been bombed early in the war making it difficult for Germans to verify their authenticity.
