Both became members of the Breton National Party, which declared its support for Germany on the outbreak of war. During the occupation of France, Mordrel and others were involved in setting up collaborationist ventures. 1942 saw the birth of the Institut celtique, absorbing members of Seiz Breur and a diverse range of Bretons.
