    "abstract": "Superfluidity is a remarkable manifestation of quantum mechanics at the\nmacroscopic level. This article describes the history of its discovery, which\ntook place at a particularly difficult period of the twentieth century. A\nspecial emphasis is given to the role of J.F. Allen, D. Misener, P. Kapitza, F.\nLondon, L. Tisza and L.D. Landau. The nature and the importance of their\nrespective contributions are analyzed and compared. Of particular interest is\nthe controversy between Landau on one side, London and Tisza on the other,\nconcerning the relevance of Bose-Einstein condensation to the whole issue, and\nalso on the nature of thermal excitations in superfluid helium 4. In order to\naid my understanding of this period, I have collected several testimonies which\ninform us about the work and attitude of these great scientists.",
