“The events inspired characters that truly existed, as well as fictitious people I had to invent. Sometimes the harsh reality was too much, too absurd.

In reality, the tom cat was accused of spying and was arrested by the French army, and then shot according to regulations.” PeopleWellsSometimesCharacterStoriesRealityFilmCasesToo MuchEventsShotsCatArmyInspiredAbsurdRegulationTomsHarshAccusedArrestedTrenchesHarsh RealityFrench Army Author:Christian Carion
