With the German Occupation of France, Lacan was called up to serve in the French army and then posted to the Val-de-Grâce military hospital in Paris. A relationship began between Lacan and Sylvia Bataille (née Maklèes), whom he was later to marry. She was the wife of the writer and theorist [[Georges Bataille]], although the two had been separated since 1933. She was well known for her roles in the films of Jean Renoir, the most famous of these perhaps being the heroine in ''Une Partie de Campagne''. During the Occupation, [[Lacan]] made frequent trips from Paris to the South of France to see her, and in 1941 their daughter [[Judith]] was born.
