I've also heard contradictory information whether Sajer is living or not - anyone know? Thanks again !

From what I know, he is still alive : he has become a famous comics writer (at least in France) under the name of "Dimitri".
He mainly made humoristic comics (the adventure of Eugene Krampon, also known as "Le Goulag").but he also talked about wwII in the East ("Kursk Tourmente d'Acier", which can be translated by "Kursk, steel turmoil").
It should be noticed that his father is from the center of France, that only his mother is alsacian (Sajer, I think is the name of his mother, the name of his father is Mounimoux accorind to wikipedia).
This is quite important because most of the other "malgré nous" do not consider him as such.
