Devant l'Allemagne éternelle (In front of eternal Germany) is a book by the French journalist and politician Charles Maurras, director of L'Action française published in 1937.

[2] For the historian Stéphane Giocanti, it is imperative to relate Devant l'Allemagne éternelle with the articles of the newspaper which combine both state anti-Semitism and a criticism of "racial antisemites" with scientific and populist claims.

The principal airs of feudal life have been found in ancient Greece, in modern India, in Japan.The categorical denunciation of the Germans serves a precise and coherent purpose in relation to his way of envisaging civilization.

[3] Due to their supposedly 'anarchist' temperament, the Germans were reportedly unable to 'autonomously endow themselves with a 'rule' based on reason and when they achieve sovereignty they only follow the path of '[ their] fancy or [of their] interest"".

[4] Armed with these considerations, Maurras strives to demonstrate from Luther to Fichte, via Kant, Germany has distinguished itself by "the triumph of individualism opposed to the founding principle of all civilization, adherence to a universal system of values transcending any particular aim".

[4] In short, Germany remains "eternally enemy of the classical order of which France is the heir, and of which Nazism would therefore only be the ultimate, paroxysmal and caricatural form".

In accordance with the requirements of Jacques Bainville in dans Conséquences politiques de la paix, Maurras argues that the German Empire must be dismembered.
