He was busy with preparing the new edition of School for Corpses to which he added an introduction and propaganda photographs, and he also published A Nice Mess in February 1941. In addition, he sent out approximately thirty letters to the most extreme militant, anti-Semitic and ultra national-socialist collaborationist newspapers. In November 1941 he openly supported Jacques Doriot and in March 1942 he signed the French Intellectuals’ Manifesto against British Crimes. He also participated in major anti-Semitic propaganda demonstrations in Paris, and in December 1941 he organized a meeting of the leading collaborationists which resulted in a creation of a mutual platform together with Deloncle.In addition to the above activities, we know of other denunciations Céline made which are acknowledged today as actual although his biographers prefer to ignore them. Among them is an oral denunciation made before a crowd of Doriot supporters, and written denunciations published in the press or included in letters sent to political or administrative authorities. In the final analysis, after examining the testimonies given by Ernst Jünger (on December 7th, 1941) and Gerhard Heller, and a letter addressed to Marie Canavaggia (dated October 1937), one comes to the conclusion that the usual invalidations of Céline’s denunciations cannot be accepted and establishes with near certainty the validity of Jünger’s powerful testimony.Cairn free access
