 Vichy France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vichy France, or the Vichy regime was the de facto French government of 1940-1944 during the Nazi Germany occupation of World War II.
The Vichy government's claim to be the de jure French government was challenged by the Free French Forces of Charles de Gaulle, based first in London and later in Algiers, and French governments ever since have held that the Vichy regime was an illegal government run by traitors.
The Vichy government helped in the deportation of 75,000 Jews to German concentration camps.

 Vichy France
The Vichy government gave in to the demands of the Nazis and were told to supply lists of Jews.
Between 1942 and July 1944 nearly 76,000 Jews residing in France were deported to concentration camps in the east via transit camps in France.
The Vichy authorities were directly responsible for sending over 73,000 Jews to their deaths.

 France and the Final Solution
Mitterand was unwilling to openly condemn the Vichy régime.
France, like other European countries under Nazi occupation, was obliged to carry out this policy, handing over Jews for deportation to Nazi extermination camps.
It was thus out of a desire to safeguard the independance of Vichy that the French police became involved in the mass arrest and deportation of thousands of Jews resident on French soil.

 NYT 971019
For the influential writer Charles Maurras, Vichy was the "divine surprise," and his conviction for treason at the end of the war "the revenge of Dreyfus." Of course, if three-fourths of France's Jewish population survived the war, it was precisely because many people rejected such attitudes and helped the Jews.
From the Revolution to the Dreyfus Affair, from Dreyfus to Vichy, and from Vichy to the contemporary National Front, the place of the Jews in French society has been a recurring issue.
At the same time, the trial in Bordeaux of 87-year-old Maurice Papon, the first and almost certainly the last Vichy official to be prosecuted for the deportation of Jews from France, has confronted the French with an agonizing fact: Mr.

France was enjuivée (riddled with Jews) or négrifié (riddled with blacks).

Letters to the Vichy or German military authorities identifing black marketeers, réfractaires, resistance members and sympathizers, and, of course, Jews were commonplace and even encouraged by the collaborationist press.

 Vichy France to Be Reexamined at Conference Honoring Robert Paxton. Columbia University Record, September 26, 1997
ew research on Vichy France will be presented by leading international historians of the period during a conference at Columbia this Friday and Saturday to honor historian Robert Paxton, the Columbia professor whose book Vichy France: Old Guard and New Order 25 years ago challenged the myth of French resistance under Nazi occupation.
By examining German and American diplomatic records and some French materials published at the time, Paxton discredited the accepted notion developed after World War II that the Vichy government has sought to protect a nation of "40 million resisters" from the worst cruelties of the German occupiers.
"Professor Paxton held up a mirror and, though many in France did not like what they saw, scholars both there and in the United States have rigorously pursued the inquiry that he began," said Sinanoglou.

 H-Net Review: Donna F. Ryan on Politics, Society, and Christianity in Vichy France
By the time a major shift in public opinion occurred against the regime, all of the groundwork had been laid to identify and incarcerate most of the 42,000 Jews who were deported east in the summer of 1942, a project largely carried out by French police and prefectural officials.
Finally, this is a beautifully written work which is compulsory reading for students of Vichy, of religion in France, and of the Holocaust.
By synthesizing the secondary literature, while using extensive documentation from the National Archives in Paris, the Public Records Office in London and the minutes of the meetings of the French Cardinals and Archbishops, Halls raises new questions for scholarly research.

Nearly twenty years ago, while researching Vichy France and the Jews, Robert Paxton and I were struck by the degree to which the murders of Jews from France during 1942+44 were facilitated by two years of aggressive persecution of the Jewish minority, initiated and implemented by the collaborationist régime at Vichy.
Weisberg's starting point is that law was critical to the fate of Jews in France: “life on,and death from,French soil remained for victim and oppressor alike matters of law, negotiated by ordinary people using the tools of their prosaic craft.” These “ordinary people,” the legal professionals, are the focus of this book.

One possible reason they don’t tread that line is because of the politically wobbly US government policy toward Ivory Coast, one that essentially supports the Vichy French position.

We also consider the turn-of-the-century roots of these responses in the Dreyfus Affair, the interwar spread of French fascism and conservative authoritarianism, the rise of a Popular Front of the Left in opposition to fascism, as well as how selective remembrance and forgetfulness contributed to forging a postwar French national identity.

The Vichy leaders actively pursued their own double agenda - internally, the authoritarian and racist "national revolution," and, externally, an attempt to persuade Hitler to accept this new France as a partner in his new Europe.
Robert O. Paxton's classic study of the aftermath of France´s sudden collapse under Nazi invasion utilizes captured German archives and other contemporary materials to construct a strong and disturbing account of the Vichy period in France.
His other books include Parades and Politics at Vichy, Europe in the Twentieth Century, and French Peasant Fascism.

I think that if Hitler had insisted - and perhaps he should have - that German troops be allowed to garrison some strategic Vichy cities, the French would have been unable to resist his demands.
If so, then for the Axis to have free regin in Vichy "occupied" NA seems a bit unfair towards the Allies.
The Vichy government did its best to discourage other Axis troops from being based in its territory, as it was clinging to the fiction that it was an independent power.

État français is also called État de Vichy, from the thermal city in the center of France where the MPs met, because it was far enough from the front and had a lot of facilities, and where Pétain's regime was established.
The historical truth was officially recognized only last year by President Chirac, who stated the responsability of French government, whatever its official name was, in the war facts of this period.
The 'state' was under total German control but tried to maintain the fiction of an independent state, with a French administration, especially for police and justice.
