Pierre Louis Marie Gabriel Loyer (16 June 1894 – 19 March 1983) was a French lawyer, politician, writer and director of the Crafts Department of the Vichy government.
Biography
Pierre Loyer was born in Guingamp, the son of a career officer. He obtained the degree of engineer of Arts et Manufactures in 1920. Between the wars, he worked as a consultant engineer in industrial property, notably for the General Electric Company (CGE). Loyer was then active in the right-wing league movements such as the Cross of Fire and especially in the Ligue Anti-judéo-maçonnique of which he was one of the regular editors of its monthly bulletin.[1]
In 1939, he was mobilized as a captain and then joined the administration of the Ministry of Armament where he was appointed deputy director of manpower. He then rubbed shoulders with Jean Bichelonne at the Ministry of Industrial Production, who chose him to head the newly created department of crafts. He became known for his technocratic policy, which caused a lot of tension with the craftsmen, and for his collaboration with the occupying forces, with whom he maintained contacts until August 1944. After the liberation of Paris, he was again entrusted with a mission of trust by Marshal Pétain.[2] In 1945, he was dismissed from the service during the purge.
Later in life, he became a Benedictine Oblate. Pierre Loyer died in the 5th arrondissement of Paris
