Biography
Pierre-Antoine Cousteau (French: [kusto]; 18 March 1906 â 17 December 1958) was a French journalist, polemicist, and Axis collaborationist. He was the elder brother of the explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau. An avid political journalist, Cousteau initially wrote for left-wing editorials, before gradually moving towards antisemitism and fascism throughout the 1930s, becoming editor of Je suis partout. After the occupation of France, Cousteau became a propagandist for the French State, under which he advocated for collaboration with Nazi Germany and supported the French Holocaust. After being held in prison from 1946 to 1953, Cousteau fell seriously ill and died at age 52 in Paris.
