Mes enfants chéris, je voulais vous dire

André Goupille, a veterinary surgeon in La Haye-Descartes, smuggled people across the demarcation line when they knocked on his door, thanks to the pass he used to travel between the occupied and free zones. With the help of his two sons, Louis and Pierre, he was one of the most important smugglers.

In gratitude for their help, many people sent André Goupille and his wife Jeanne grateful letters. The text of Mes enfants chéris, je voulais vous dire is based on these letters.
