Jacques Doriot was born in France in 1898. During the First World War Doriot served in the French Army and won the Croix de Guerre.
After the war Doriot became a member of the Communist Party and was elected mayor of Saint-Denis. However, in 1934 he left the party and impressed with the success of the Nazi Party in Germany formed the fascist Parti Populaire Francais (PPF) in 1936.
Doriot collaborated with the German occupation but support for the PPF declined during this period. Now a staunch anti-Communist, Doriot served with a French unit in German Army uniforms in the invasion of the Soviet Union.
Doriot returned to France in 1943 but after the D-Day landings he moved to Nazi Germany. Jacques Doriot was killed during an Allied bombing raid in February, 1945.
