I'd need to get deeper into the documentation, but suspect that most of this is true. A lot of French 'cafe society' and its elites weren't particularly nice, nor enlightened, nor smart, when it comes down to brass knuckle politics and ideology. And they wanted to keep playing after occupation, and that meant dancing to a nazi tune. More such stories will come out in the future, (I'm looking at you, Jacques Cousteau....)
