History
Because of its fear that Doriot and the Légion des Volontaires Français Contra le Bolchevisme would become too powerful, Vichy took it over in 1942-07, renaming it the Légion Tricolore. The military successes of the Allied landings in North Africa led to the Légion Tricolore being reconverted from an official to a political body, again being named Légion des Volontaires Français Contra le Bolchevisme.
