Junior O.A.S. officer Degueldre was executed while senior leaders were spared.
Evidence
But, as a junior officer unsupported by the galaxy that had come forth to testify for Salan, Lieutenant Roger Degueldre was to bear the full brunt of the law. On 28 June, at the sinister Château de Vincennes, where Napoleon had the Duc d’Enghien executed, the leader of the Delta killer commandos was sentenced to death. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1644
