In 1965, Dominique de Roux published a letter that she had previously addressed to Céline. This letter included the following passage:Non, Louis, tel ils t’ont connu les autres, après, même ceux de la fin, tel tu étais déjà à vingt ans ! Effarant de curiosité, versatile, blagueur, grossier, irritable, mythomane et génial ! Et paradoxal. Ne t’ai-je pas entendu dire à plusieurs reprises dans ton cinquième de la rue Girardon en 1941-42 ; « Moi, je prouverai qu’Hitler est juif ! »
Hence the anecdote that you have cited.
