In fact not nazis at all, plain old fashioned traditionalist reaction,
believing in agricultural values, army, church, family... order... but
in a antimodernist way... even against technical modernism... no
autobahn, no airplanes, not even a nice camera... That's why modernist
right wing (like De Gaulle or Potez who later changed his name for
Dassault), Technocratic left (Jean Moulin) and the communists (after
1941) could join against an old and common enemy...
French fascist were few and atypical (the Parti Populaire Français under
the leadership of an ex-communist for instance), fascism was even too
modern for Vichy...

Not Nazis, petainistes, miliciens, maurassiens, etc. They are our own
fascists, the descendants of those who claimed Dreyfus was guilty of
treason, the forefathers of those who vote for Le Pen today. Hated De
Gaulle's guts and tried to kill him several times. Tried to start a
civil war over Algeria. They are typically antisemitic, anti-Arab,
anti-English, anti-American, etc. During the German occupation, those
types claimed collaboration was the way to stay safe and secure a place
in the 'New Europe.' They told every one that sacrificing Jews to the
Nazis was a way to protect the rest of us. They allowed French citizens
to join the Waffen SS and fight the Bolsheviks on the eastern front.
Also had the death penalty for abortionists. They are a mirror image of
the rabid right in this country, if you'll switch the countries they
don't like. - Phil
