Where does the term "frenchists" come from?

I was in France about 15 years ago, and went up to Normandy in the days leading up to the anniversary of D Day. I saw many people driving restored WWII vehicles, many of them in GI uniforms. I was surprised to find that they were all French. I had no idea there were so many re-enacters, or that it was even a thing among the French.

BTW, if you've never been to the American cemetery at Normandy, it's a place that all Americans should see. Incredibly beautiful, solemn place. To stand on the heights above Pointe du Hoc and look down to the place where the Rangers climbed up into the face of withering fire is humbling.
