The Comité France-Germany was founded on November 22nd, 1935 thanks to carried out Otto Abetz, agent of Nazi influence in France. This organization was presented like during DFG (Deutsch-Franzözische Gesellschaft). The purpose of CFA was to exploit the pacifist feelings of the French and thus to deaden their vigilance in front of the rise of the Nazi Germany.

Many notable agreed to sit in its committee of honor: the writers Pierre Benoit, Jules Romans and Louis Bertrand, the type-setter Florent Schmitt, the Germanist Henri Lichtenberger. The board of directors included/understood leaders of war veterans like Jean Goy, of the members of Parliament like Georges Scapini, the journalists or writers like Fernand de Brinon, Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, Bertrand de Jouvenel or Jacques Benoist-Méchin. It is thus seen that the pacifist sincere ones and philonazis were cotoyaient there. Some quickly left this compromising organization, others will be found committed in the Collaboration, in particular within the Groupe Collaboration.

The activity of CFA consisted in organizing voyages in Germany for politicians or intellectuals, setting up of the congresses in France or Germany and publishing the Franco-German Cahiers , a body which, under an alleviating and pluralist appearance, diffused a propaganda subtly preparing France with the renouncement.

A last general meeting, on May 24th, 1939, decided the deactivation of CFA.
