René Hardy (1911, Mortrée, Orne - 1987) was a French resistant during World War II. After the war, Hardy was tried twice for collaboration, but was found not guilty, despite committing perjury at the first trial. Shortly before his death he was accused again by Klaus Barbie, but died before any new charges were brought.
Hardy was also a novelist. His book Bitter Victory (French title Amère victoire) was adapted for the cinema in a Franco-US co-production starring Richard Burton.
