Under the Occupation, mobsters like Pierre Loutrel, known as Pierrot the Fool, took advantage of the chaos to establish themselves as the godfathers of collaboration. With his gang of Tractions before, he multiplied thefts, extortion and murders, collaborating with the Gestapo before joining the Resistance by pure opportunism in 1944. This bloody journey illustrates the terror of these criminals without faith or law.
