Truths and myths about the Belgian Führex. Until his death, Léon Degrelle (1906-1994), leader of the fascist Rex movement, creator of the SS legion Wallonia and the last European Nazi leader, was the icon for the extreme right, with whom you had to be knighted on the occasion of a pilgrimage to Spain, where he fled in 1945. This first biography for the general public, without prejudice or favouritism, paints the portrait of a man of many facets who is characteristic of the century of extremes: a boy from the Ardennes and a jocular law student; a devout Catholic and monarchist; a journalist and innovative press officer; a demagogue, collaborator and soldier on the Eastern Front against the Red Army; a friend of Tintin, or rather of Hergé, a defender of Hitler and a supporter of Holocaust denier Faurisson. The book is based on a wealth of writings: his own, pamphlets, memoirs and countless interviews, not to mention the press of his time, especially the one he initiated.
