Camu, Letters to a German friend

I guess Camu is willing to jump the train of nonviolence if need be to suit the situation. Camus tone in this essay has a sense of finality with his expression to Germany.“Today I am still close to you in spirit your enemy, to be sure, but still a little your friend because I am with holding nothing from yon here. Tomorrow all will be over. What your victory could not penetrate, your defeat will bring to an end”. (Camu 1) When Camu joined the French Resistance during a time when France was Nazi occupied he could see that the Germans could not be reasoned with a nonviolent attempt but rather they needed to use a brand of violence that would resist the occupancy of the Nazis in France at the time.
