Jehan Alain a French composer who tragically died, age 29, 1940, after single-handedly killing 16 Germans in WWII, the German's recognized his body and buried him with full military honours out of respect for his Musical work.
His work was considered amongst the most original music of the time and he would undoubtedly, in my mind, been one of the most prolific and revered composers if only he had lived.
