Thank you to André Baratte for coming to share his story on LEGEND Story. On April 1, 1944, a group of Resistance fighters sabotaged a railway line to halt a train. What they didn't know was that the train was actually carrying 400 Waffen-SS troops (Nazi soldiers). At just 15 years old, André witnessed the unthinkable: his father and 85 other civilians were executed in his village. He survived by a miracle and shares his story with us.

SÉBASTIEN CHABAL: “I DON’T REMEMBER A SINGLE MATCH” (AMNESIA, A HEATED ENCOUNTER WITH HIS STEP-SON)

This week on *LEGEND*, we look back at the life of Sébastien Chabal, the former French national rugby player who started out as a lathe operator before being scouted by the Bourgoin-Jallieu rugby club. Known for his brutal playing style and imposing physique, he made a lasting impression during the 2007 World Cup by staring down the New Zealanders during their Haka. Having transitioned into entrepreneurship, he launched his clothing brand, Ruckfield, and is launching "Jo’s Burgers" in 2025—a pop-up serving the "world’s best burger" at partner restaurants twice a month.
