Guy Sajer is the pseudonym of Guy Mouminoux who was a well known French comics writer also known under the pseudonym of Dimitri. Sajer was a French citizen living in Alsace, who served as a foreign conscript in the German Army during World War II, fighting the Soviets on the Eastern front in the Großdeutschland Division. Due to a spate of historical inaccuracies, the accuracy and authenticity of Sajer's autobiographical work has been questioned, with proponents on both sides. Division historian for the Panzer-Grenadier-Division Großdeutschland, Major Helmuth Spaeter, after originally claiming Sajer to be a fraud in a 1988 interview, later on recanted his claims and afforded him the benefit of doubt in 1997.
