Government of Vichy France
Hi, I just glanced at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_Vichy_France#Collaboration_with_Germany and found both the English and the structure confusing.

I did my best to render what I think the editor[s] meant into clearer, more logical, more idiomatic and easier-to-understand English, but it would certainly be helpful if you could check both the original text (perhaps from a French original) and my attempt at clarification.

I was also (having read three English-language books about Vichy about three decades ago) a little puzzled by the underlying hierarchy, no doubt to the successive interventions of several different editors. For example, it mentions the Gestapo, the SD and the Sipo, but not the SS itself. And the illustrations it gives of civilian collaborationists don't seem to match in a logical order, e.g. Doriot and the PPF appear in a different way from Déat and the RNP. I also can't figure out what the red-linked Legionary Order Service refers to.

But, having done my tiny little bit for the Project, I leave it to your more expert eyes, tongue and brains to improve this section.
