Life and activism Roger Holeindre was born on 21 March 1929 in Corrano, Corse-du-Sud. He grew up in Vosges and then Seine-Saint-Denis. In 1989, he wrote À tous ceux qui n'ont rien compris ("To those who haven't understood a thing") in which he claims to have stolen two machine guns from the Germans in August 1944 and that the operation got a friend killed. It has not been proven or denied he joined any Resistance organisation afterwards, but it can be assumed he never had any connection with the German occupation forces as he did not receive any jail sentence after 1945 (which was a pre-requisite to any investigation for suspicious persons about collaboration in France at that time).

Holeindre also founded the FAF (Front pour l'Algérie Française, Front for French Algeria). He met with Bruno Gollnisch in this period. After being given a prison sentence for his involvement with the OAS, he worked as a reporter for Paris-Match, while in the same time counselling young Occident far-right activists. In January 1968, Holeindre founded the Front uni de soutien au Sud-Viêt-Nam (United Front in Support of South Vietnam) and supported the US war effort. Occident actively participated in this Front. Holeindre also maintained contacts with the direction of the WACL (World Anticommunist League), supported by the Taiwanese authorities.
