Alfred Greven was the head a French movie studio founded with Nazi money producing propaganda and the most subversive masterpieces of French Cinema.

Women weren't the Germans' only conquests; indeed, occupied Paris swarms with all kinds of homosexuals—from Genet to Cocteau—who treated with the occupier. The fate of those women who were shaved at the end of the war for fraternizing with Germans is the punishment of a France that lied down and slept with the enemy.
