Lots of French were happy with the Vichy Regime. He is only perceived as evil now because us Frogs don't want to be seen as faggots. I love Mon Maréchal.

Selling out the soul of his nation in order to elevate himself and his politics isn't considered wrong?

It's what the current US president has done so....

Not American and not an argument.

Well considering that France is getting cucked by Islam we someone like him more then ever now.

You need someone like De Gaulle.

Acting as a stooge for foreigners who carved out a section of your country is pretty scummy.

Granted that the smearing of his name by people who were perfectly content to collaborate before Allied troops showed up is rank hypocrisy.

He's 10,000x better than the coward ass royal houses who fled to London. At least by staying and submitting to the Germans he can try to get the best deal for France. By fucking off to England they were just saving their own hides while letting the Germans do what they like to their countrymen.

Norwegians, Danes, Belgians and the Dutch are absolute and total cucks for letting them return. Tito had the right idea, and just as they deserve the royal house of Yugoslavia is irrelevant.

Petain didn't sell out the soul of his nation, he saved it. Under his rule France was able to maintain its culture and a degree of autonomy. The alternative would have been total subjugation and increased bloodshed. He is a tragic hero.

They need someone like Charles Martel

>Germans LITERALLY GO AROUND (lmfao) your huge wall and shit all over everything
>Country surrenders in a matter of days
>Try to collaborate with the invaders to smoothen the transition from free nation to client state
>"BRO WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE YOU A SCUMBAG TRAITOR VIVE LA FRANCE FAGGOT WHO CARES WHAT YOU DID FOR FRANCE IN WW1"

should've dropped one in paris and one in marseille instead of hiroshima and nagasaki

I think everyone on this board underestimates the value of national narratives and myths.

The besmirching of Petain and his cronies and the deification of De Gaulle and the resistance was a vital part of the post war reconstruction. It was the mending of the spiritual edifice of France, the ambiguous truth is petty in comparison.

A hero denied by his homeland.

Punished Petain.
