This is "Marche Du Francisme", a marching song of the "Mouvement Franciste" (MF; "Francist Movement"), a French Ultranationalist league founded by Marcel Bucard in 1933.
Francism was a form of French Fascism that was touted by Bucard as being France's home-grown version of Italian Fascism.
As one of the groups which took part in the 6th of February, 1934 riots, the movement was outlawed in 1936 by Léon Blum. After a failed attempt to restart the movement in 1938, the league was reborn in 1941 as a political party - the "Parti Franciste" (PF), the Francistes (as their faction was known) collaborated alongside Jacques Doriot's Parti Populaire Français and Marcel Déat's Rassemblement National Populaire.
The party was dissolved in 1944, Marcel Bucard was executed by firing squad on the 19th of March, 1946. His last words were "Qui vive? La France!" ("Who lives? France!"), shouted just before the salvo killed him.
