A French fictionalized biographical novel by Robert Merle published in 1952. It is based on the memoirs of the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höß.Rudolf Lang is a young man living in germany, with a very strict that wants him to become a priest to expy his own "sins". However during an accident involving a friend, Rudolf thinks that his priest betrayed his confession (which he didn't) and thus loses faith. Following that, he finds a new purpose in the army, enlisting during World War I. Once the war ends, being no longer needed, Rudolf falls into a spring of depression, until he joins the newly founded Nazi party, giving him a sense of purpose at last.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

comment
Asexuality: Discussed multiple times throughout the book. Rudolf mentions twice (to both his friends and his wife) that he is not a "sensual" person. His first time, while he took actions to make it happen, didn't seem to gave him that much pleasure. Once married, he doesn't seek to have sex with his wife, and when she comes at him, he dismisses her.

Even Evil Has Standards: Rudolf's subordinate ends up killing himself, because he can't stands the screams of Jews being killed in the gas chambers and the smell of the burning corpses.

Freudian Excuse: An important point of the book. Rudolf's need for direction and an authority figure is a direct result of his father constent diaspproval.
