On July 10, 1940, Pétain established the French puppet regime
On this day, 85 years ago, July 10, 1940 (June 6, 1940 in the lunar calendar), Pétain established the French puppet regime. On July 10, the Third French Republic ceased to exist. The fascist dictatorship headed by Marshal Pétain made its appearance in Vichy. The French parliament overwhelmingly voted to dissolve it and authorized Pétain to formulate a new constitution. There will be a new parliament in the new France, which will be entirely advisory. But it was not only the Republic that died on this day, but also the traditional French slogan "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" died, replaced by "Work, Family, Motherland." The new regime calls on people to restore "traditional values." Soldiers who fled France after the armistice were invited to return to France, and the Pétain government promised to treat them with tolerance. Some soldiers will receive 1000 francs to subsidize their return to live as civilians. On June 16, Field Marshal Pétain, a hero of World War I of Verdun, took over as president of France. He immediately asked Germany for an armistice. After France lost and surrendered in 1940, Pétain said to Hitler: "Now France can no longer fight a new war." It's a big war." Comment: The surrender faction has been despised by the people!
