Diethelm fought in the First World War, in Alsace, on the Eastern front, and in Greece.
Joining Free France, he was appointed commissioner for the Interior, Labour and Information, by de Gaulle, then for Finance and Pensions, and finally for Finance, the Economy and the Merchant Navy under the French National Committee in 1941–1943. He was the first director of the Caisse Centrale de la France Libre.
