Haha ! Le Pen was on the side of Vichy ?
In November 1944, the young Jean-Marie, 16 years old, attempted to engage in the FFI (French Forces of the Interior = the local resistance) in the Free Corps commanded by Colonel Henri de La Vaissière ("Valin"). He himself came at the PC (command post) of Sainte-Anne d'Auray, and at the PC of Carnac.
Valin replied: "A number of young people have increades their age in signing their commitment procedure without the knowledge of their parents. Several were killed. Now order is given to ensure that our volunteers have well over 18 years old. Think of your mother !" (her father was dead on a mine at sea).
