Scope and Content
Typescript translation of a newspaper article by an unidentified former member of the French Foreign Legion. The adjutant of the camp on the Libyan border was Tessier, someone who showed particular kindness to the Jewish legionnaires. When a new legionnaire by the name of Rathenau arrived, Tessier confessed that he was one of the murderers of Walther Rathenau, the former's uncle, and he produced a letter which Rathenau's mother had written to Tessier's mother after her son was killed. The author of the report met Tessier again in Marseille, where he helped many refugees escape.
