Louis Bertrand »
French novelist and essayist Louis Bertrand published his biographical essay Hitler in 1936, praising the master of the Third Reich and sparking a heated debate at a time when the latter no longer concealed his belligerent ambitions. Bertrand adopted Nazism’s racial vision, engaging in anti-Semitism in the name of the fight against Bolshevism. He died in 1941.
