 He became a writer for the collaborationist journal "Je suis partout", although Blond was associated with a "soft" tendency led by the likes of Robert Brasillach and Henri Poulain towards the end of the Second World War.In contrast to the "hard" tendency of Pierre-Antoine Cousteau and Lucien Rebatet, Blond's group wanted to de-emphasise associations with Nazism and instead concentrate on literature, sensing that Nazi defeat was imminent.His link to collaboration damaged Blond's reputation in the initial post-war period and his name appeared on a blacklist published by the "Comite National d'Ecrivains" in September 1945.
