Specifically, if he claimed that he was a hero of the Resistance and he wasn't, 
I'd agree with Lawrence, but can we find evidence of such claims ?

Well, I see at least two issues here:

1. Sartre's role during the WW II

2. His later accounts of that role

3. Other people's accounts of that role.

I have done some Googling but I can't say that I am clear on either of the 
points.
