REPORTED DEATH
OF FRENCH NAZI & TRAITOR FROM INJURIES SUFFERED IN ATTACK. PLANNED TO RULE WITH ARMY OF THUGS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, November 25. According to reports reaching England, Jacques Doriot, the French Nazi leader, is dead, says the “Standard.” There is no official confirmation of this news in London, but the circumstantial evidence is regarded as very strong. Doriot is reported to have been attacked on November 21 and admitted to hospital with four* broken ribs and an eye injury. The "Standard” adds that the Axis radio yesterday broadcast a speech stated to be by Doriot, but this was probably a recording. Doriot planned to oust Laval, rule France with a private army of 20,000 thugs enrolled in the streets of Paris, and then declare war on the Allies, raise an army and fight beside the Germans in North Africa. M. Pierre Bloch, a Socialist Deputy who has just escaped from France, said Doriot was a protege of Himrnler. Doriot was the man the Nazis wanted.
