"In real life "Boisfeuras" had his opposite number in Colonel Antoine Argoud, another para whose extremity in belief and deed were to bring him notoriety later on. "We want to halt the decadence of the West and the march of Communism," declared Argoud in court during the Barricades Trial of November 1960: "That is our duty, the real duty of the army. That is why we must win the war in Algeria. Indo-China taught us to see the truth...." To men like "Boisfeuras" and Argoud the war against Communism was a permanent and unceasing phenomenon; while nationalism, in the Indo-Chinese and Algerian context, was largely equated with Communism. Theirs was a doctrine, says Edward Behr, "which, if carried to its logical conclusion, would have led to fascism not only in Algeria but in France as well"."
