What was the point of Vichy France?
keep french happy, reduce resistance and lower administration clutter
they used the shitty south though so they still controlled the important parts
ps
petain did nothing wrong, he was a realistic but patriotic man
>>1979747
you might disagree if you were a jewish frenchman
>>1979729
To create a Fascist French rump state that was theoretically independent and sovereign, thus theoretically continuing to control the French colonial empire. See, if Germany had destroyed France outright it's likely that North Africa, the Levant, etc, would have gone straight over to the Free French. This also allowed the Germans to avoid having to manage the occupation of France, since that could just be offloaded onto the Vichy government.
I'm not aware of what the German post-war plans were for France. Presumably they'd loose all German claims and would become a defanged puppet state with a military only large enough to manage it's remaining colonies.
>>1979729
Not having to occupy the whole country
Germans were terrified by the thought of French civilian resistance ever since they first experienced it in 1871
It's what caused the brutal "pre-emptive" actions against civilians in Belgium during WW1
Turns out that, unlike what they expected, they didn't have much to fear about 1940s French though
WW1 had killed their fighting spirit
>>1979758
But anon that's an oxymoron.

Eisenhower estimated the french resistance to have been worth 150k men, in the help they gave to the americans before, during and after Normandy.
>>1979930
Yeah but then the occupation of Germany happened and France was redeemed.
>>1979786
French resistance during WWII was actually more, than significant.

God, the idea of German scum getting raped and murdered gets me hard like nothing else haha.
Though I guess that's how it is these days too.
>>1979930
Then we filled every german women with our cum, we emptied our balls so much that some of us grew impotent. And from today onwards Western Germans are French rape babies while Eastern germans are Russians rape babies
>>1980066
Poles have no right to be giving out shit on getting conquered and putting up an insignificant resistance.
>>1980066
same shit happened to your whores too, slavshit, except germans and russians took turns fucking your sows before slitting their throats.
>>1980045
It means that it certainly didn't happen en masse like in your cuck fantasies

You're still our pape babies since we raped you during the Grand Napoleonic Rape-Conquest of Europe.

Because they thought they saw a Russian?
Pretty sure Poles did and still have the same reaction.
>>1980074
The difference is that polish men got cucked by the Germans for 5 years and then by the Russians for 5 decades

That would imply I was implying France has significantly bigger dicks than Britain which I wasn't.
Well they had over 1m POWs that they kept as hostages to ensure good behavior by the vichy govt, and they didn't want to garrison the whole country. Plus France still had a shitload of imperial holdings that the vichy government took care of, further reducing the administrative burden on the germans.
where're the jannies when you need them? just delete this trashpile of a thread
Reminder that France resurrected Pooland into existance in 1807 and 1918, and died trying to save Pooland in 1940, yet poles still hate them

Poland gets to exchange shitty lands with lazy and disloyal Eastern Slavs for German land magically cleared from Germans with all that juicy infrastructure in place. As a result Poland gets to be a monoethnical state with Poles making 99% of the population. Totally worth it.

P*les absolutely refuse to acknowledge the generosity of their neighbours. Even though without them their hopelessly polluted pseudo-race would have been wiped out long ago.
The P*le is an insidious cretin. It does not acknowledge that Napoleonic France returned Poland's independence. It does not acknowledge that Russia saved them from certain doom at the hands of the Nazis. It does not acknowledge that without the EU Poland would be Africa tier. They do not know how to appreciate let alone return kindness.
Is there room in their brain for anything besides hate and WEWUZery?
>>1980229
Without Russia Poland would have been ethnically cleansed and incorporated into Germany.
>>1980257
That image doesn't make any sense.
>Poland suffered catastrophic damage to its infrastructure during the war, which caused it to lag even further behind the West in its industrial output.[11] The losses in national resources and infrastructure amounted to over 30% of the pre-war potential.[11] Poland's capital of Warsaw was among the most devastated cities – over 80 percent destroyed in the aftermath of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.[12] Nonetheless, resulting from forced migration, there was a rapid increase in population to 23.9 million shown in the first post-war census of 14 February 1946.[13] The Polish state acquired more highly developed western territories and lost the more economically backward eastern regions. Already in 1948 the prewar level of industrial production was exceeded in global and per capita terms during the first Three-Year Plan (Plan Trzyletni) fueled by the collective desire to rebuild shattered lives.[14]
>After the Soviet annexation of the Kresy territories east of the Curzon line, about 2 million Poles were "repatriated" (moved or were transferred or expelled) from these areas into the new western and northern territories east of the Oder-Neisse line,[20][21]
> In 1947 Soviet pressure caused the Polish government to reject the American-sponsored Marshall Plan,[16] and to join the Soviet Union-dominated Comecon in 1949.[17] The Soviet forces present engaged in plunder of the former eastern territories of Germany which were being transferred to Poland, stripping it of valuable industrial equipment, infrastructure and factories and sending them to the Soviet Union.[18][19]

Russians did the same as Germans and in some cases even worse.
>>1980262
Russians gave Poland their own state and didn't try to exterminate them.
I understand Poland is super-butthurt about Russia. But it's inescapable that thanks to Russia they got the better of two fates.
>>1980276
>and didn't try to exterminate them.
>"In addition to the thousands who fell in battle, 128 men were hanged personally by Mikhail Muravyov ('Muravyov the Hangman'), and 9423 people were exiled to Siberia (2500 according to low Russian data estimates, Norman Davies gives the number of 80,000 noting it was the single largest deportation in Russian history).[5] Whole villages and towns were burned down; all activities were suspended and the szlachta was ruined by confiscation and exorbitant taxes. Such was the brutality of the Russian troops that their actions were condemned throughout Europe, and even in Russia itself Muravyov became ostracized.[6] Count Fyodor Berg, the newly appointed Namestnik of Poland, followed in Muravyov's footsteps, employing inhumanly harsh measures against the country."
>"After the collapse of the uprising, harsh reprisals followed. According to Russian official information, 396 persons were executed and 18,672 were exiled to Siberia. Large numbers of men and women were sent to the interior of Russia and to Caucasus, Urals and other sections. Altogether about 70,000 persons were imprisoned and subsequently taken out of Poland and stationed in remote regions of Russia."
>>1980276
>>1980281
>"The government confiscated 1,660 estates in Poland and 1,794 in Lithuania. A 10% income tax was imposed on all estates as a war indemnity. Only in 1869 was this tax reduced to 5% on all incomes. Serfdom was abolished in Russian Poland on 19 February 1864. It was deliberately enacted in a way that would ruin the szlachta. It was the only area where peasants paid the market price in redemption for the land (the average for the empire was 34% above the market price). All land taken from Polish peasants since 1846 was to be returned without redemption payments. The ex-serfs could only sell land to other peasants, not szlachta. 90% of the ex-serfs in the empire who actually gained land after 1861 were in the eight western provinces. Along with Romania, Polish landless or domestic serfs were the only ones to be given land after serfdom was abolished."
>"All this was to punish the szlachta's role in the uprisings of 1830 and 1863. Besides the land granted to the peasants, the Russian Government gave them additional forest, pasture and other privileges (known under the name of servitutes) which proved to be a source of incessant irritation between the landowners and peasants in the following decades, and an impediment to economic development.[citation needed] The government took over all the church estates and funds, and abolished monasteries and convents. With the exception of religious instruction, all other studies in the schools were ordered to be in the Russian. Russian also became the official language of the country, used exclusively in all offices of the general and local government. All traces of former Polish autonomy were removed and the kingdom was divided into ten provinces, each with an appointed Russian military governor and all under complete control of the Governor General in Warsaw. All former Polish government functionaries were deprived of their positions and replaced by Russian officials."
>>1980281
>>1980284
>"A rule of terror was started by the NKVD and other Soviet agencies. The first victims were the approximately 230,000 Polish prisoners of war.[17] The Soviet Union had not signed any international convention on rules of war and they were denied the status of prisoners of war. When the Soviets conducted recruitment activities among the Polish military, an overwhelming majority of the captured officers refused to cooperate; they were considered enemies of the Soviet Union and a decision was made by the Soviet Politburo (5 March 1940) to secretly execute them (22,000 officers and others).[84] The officers and a large number of ordinary soldiers[85] were then murdered (see Katyn massacre) or sent to Gulag.[86] Of the 10,000-12,000 Poles sent to Kolyma in 1940–41, most POWs, only 583 men survived, released in 1941–42 to join the Polish Armed Forces in the East.[87]"
>"Terror policies were also applied to the civilian population. The Soviet authorities regarded service for the prewar Polish state as a "crime against revolution"[89] and "counter-revolutionary activity",[90] and subsequently started arresting large numbers of Polish intelligentsia, politicians, civil servants and scientists, but also ordinary people suspected of posing a threat to Soviet rule. Schoolchildren as young as 10 or 12 years old who laughed at Soviet propaganda presented in schools were sent into prisons, sometimes for as long as 10 years.[65]
>>1980276
>>1980281
>>1980284
>>1980287
>The prisons soon became severely overcrowded with detainees suspected of anti-Soviet activities and the NKVD had to open dozens of ad hoc prison sites in almost all towns of the region.[69][82] The wave of arrests led to forced resettlement of large categories of people (kulaks, Polish civil servants, forest workers, university professors or osadniks, for instance) to the Gulag labor camps.[68] The Polish and formerly Polish citizens, a large proportion of whom were ethnic minorities, were deported mostly in 1940, typically to northern Russia, Kazakhstan and Siberia.[41][91]
>Following the Operation Barbarossa and the Sikorski–Mayski agreement, in the summer of 1941 the exiled Poles were released under the declared amnesty. Many thousands trekked south to join the newly formed Polish Army, but thousands were too weak to complete the journey or perished soon afterwards.[92]
>According to a 2009 estimate by IPN, around 150,000 Polish citizens died as a result of the Soviet occupation.[44][45] The number of deportees was estimated at around 320,000.[44][45]"
>>1980276
> Russians gave Poland their own state and didn't try to exterminate them.
To be fair, Russian government tried to forcible assimilate Poles during 19th century.

Just from looking at the map, I'm going to guess that they didn't want to overstretch their occupation forces in France when all that was really probably important for Germany was control over the West coast. The Free Zone was submissive to Germany while making direct occupation and administration unnecessary, allowing the Germans to make better use of their armed forces.
