Title : Walther, this German, my friend - Henri Vincenot - book

Summary :

During the 1939-1945 war, in Autun, a young professor, a researcher in archaeology and ethnology, fortuitously befriends a young German academic enlisted in the Wehrmacht. Engrossed in his ideals of brotherhood between peoples and love of science, he is unaware of the dangers of such close contact in wartime. Soon denounced, he is arrested by the Gestapo as a spy. To save his skin and that of his family, and to obey the family and social pressures that warn him of the fatal consequences of his beautiful idealism, he enters the service of the Resistance. This twist, unavoidable if he wants to protect his loved ones, will allow him to achieve honors and make a small fortune by betraying his research friend... Published in 1954 by Denoël, this novel depicts and challenges all the false pretenses of a humanity indoctrinated by contradictory and criminal ideologies. The "anarchist" Vincenot and his passionately humanist conception of life and relationships between people are then revealed.
