About this person
Henri Barbé was a French political activist who moved from early leadership roles in the French Communist movement to far-right collaboration during the German occupation. A former head of the Young Communists and a member of the Comintern apparatus, he later became a leader in the French Popular Party and an organizer within the National Popular Rally during Vichy France. After the Liberation, he was convicted by a court of justice and imprisoned; in the postwar years he took part in anti-communist publishing and, after converting to Catholicism, contributed to Catholic periodicals including Itinéraires.
