French Militia
Milice Française was a pro-Nazi, Vichy French paramilitary of 30,000 soldiers. It was formed in 1943 to support German occupation and Marshal Henri Philippe Petain’s collaborationist government. Headed by Joseph Darnand and later Paul Touvier, the militia rounded up Jews for deportation.
