 | | The Milice (militia) was created by the Laval government in January 1943 with the stated purpose of contributing to the political, social, economic, intellectual and moral renewal of the country. |
 | | Ideologically, the Milice was fascist, ultra-right, anti-democratic, anti-Marxist, anti-Semitic, anti-Masonic, anti-bourgeois, anti-capitalist, authoritarian, elitist, corporatist, and hypernationalistic. |
 | | A macabre coda was provided in 1994 by the trial and imprisonment of Paul Touvier, the Milice's former intelligence chief for the Rhône region, on grounds of crimes against humanity. |
