Excerpt (in translation): Born in 1889 into a bourgeois Catholic family, Robert Pelletier after brilliant studies alternated politics (he was close in particular to Albert Thomas and then Joseph Caillaux) with journalism. A volunteer during the First World War, he was a specialist in military matters and worked for the intelligence services of the French general staff. Arrested in November 1940 in Paris, imprisoned in the Cherche Midi prison and then in Fresnes, he was shot on August 9, 1940. His son Etienne was deported to Struthof and then to Germany where he was assassinated on November 24, 1944.
