Talk:Philippe Henriot

Though Vichy France was allied with Nazi germany. Wasnt it also recognzied by other nations? Killing a member of a national goverment
Though Vichy unoccupied till 1942 France was considered a Puppet of Nazi Germany. I undertsand many nations DID recognize Vichy France (French State) as a legal goverment. Killing a member of this goverment even by a band of Maquis who considered themselves patroits was I belive an illegal act. Anyone ever investigate who killed Minister Henriot? Merci!

1942 Nazi Occupation of southern "Vichy" portion of France

 * "...after the Germans were forced, due to the new Allied presence in North Africa, to extend their military occupation..."

This is the first I've ever heard of the Nazis being "forced" to violate their 1940 Armistice with France and invade the southern sector (on the anniversary of their signing the 1918 Armistice that ended combat in World War I and the harsh terms of which the Germans deeply resented). ☺  Dick Kimball (talk) 19:45, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
