What month do  Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism and Philippe Pétain have in common?
Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism The Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism (French: "Légion des volontaires français contre le bolchévisme" , or simply "Légion des volontaires français", LVF) was a collaborationist French militia founded on 8 July 1941. It gathered various collaborationist parties, including Marcel Bucard's "Mouvement Franciste", Marcel Déat's National Popular Rally, Jacques Doriot's French Popular Party, Eugène Deloncle's Social Revolutionary Movement, Pierre Clémenti's French National-Collectivist Party and Pierre Costantini's French League. It had no formal link with the Vichy regime, even though it was recognized as an "association of public usefulness" by Pierre Laval's government in February 1943. Philippe Pétain, head of state of Vichy France, personally disapproved of Frenchmen wearing German uniforms and never went beyond individual and informal words of support to some specific officers.
