In general, no, the French did NOT support Hitler. However, there were a pocket of French that believed they could not stop the Germans, so better to cooperate than to get beat. Among them were Henri' Petain, General of WWI, with honors. Gen. Petain became Marshall Petain and headed up the Nazi puppet government in Vichy, France. The French ran an elaborate underground reistance headed by Charles DeGaulle from England via radio.
