Todor Angelov Dzekov (Bulgarian: Тодор Ангелов Дзеков, rendered in French as Théodore Angheloff; 12 January 1900 – 30 November 1943) was a Bulgarian communist activist who lived in exile in Belgium for much of his adult life. He served in the Bulgarian Dimitrov Battalion during the Spanish Civil War.[1] During the German occupation of Belgium, was a leader within the Partisans Armés as part of the Belgian Resistance. He was captured in January 1943 and executed in November 1943.[1]
In Belgium, Angelov was an active supporter of the Communist Party of Belgium. In 1942, he organized a resistance group, the "Corps Mobile de Bruxelles", under the auspices of the "Partisans Armés" and associated with the "Front de l'Indépendance", the major Belgian underground movement.[2]
