« La Croix » and the brown tide, Alain Fleury. La Croix, one of the main French Catholic publications, had an ambiguous attitude toward the rise of national socialism. Torn between its deep anti-communism and the fears that the anti-Catholic persecution inspired to some of its journalists, the newspaper gave, up to the war an unclear image of Germany, a reflection of its internal contradictions and its fascination/repulsion for the Nazi regime.
