Arturo Pérez-Reverte Quote

Fue de epopeya; como el caso de los que, enrolados algunos en la Legión Extranjera francesa y fugitivos otros del norte de África, acabaron integrados en las fuerzas francesas libres del general De Gaulle, y desde África central viajaron a Inglaterra, y de allí a Normandía; y luego, con la División Leclerc, liberaron París y combatieron y murieron en suelo alemán, llegando los supervivientes hasta el cuartel general del Führer (tuve el honor de estar cinco años sentado en la Real Academia Española junto a uno de ellos, Claudio Guillén Cahen, hijo del poeta Jorge Guillén).
