In 1941, Raymond Auger, a French worker from the Sologne region, escapes from his labour camp in Germany. His travelling companion, Aim Rombaldo, and he will describe their adventure, day by day. They recount their wartime experience, forced labour, hunger and above all their escape which took them from Dreihausen in Germany to Basel in Switzerland. A 460km journey on foot. In 2019 his grandson, a graduate in Contemporary History, retraces the path of what has become the Auger family legend. Will the historical facts contradict this legend?
