The secret died with them.
Laval, Petain, they were both parts of the German machinery, but we never knew, and we’ll never know for sure who really did what, who was orchestrating the whole thing.
Petain pretty much refused to say **a** single word during his trial, which, isn’t really helping history.
He was mostly a scapegoat for the survivors of the Vichy regime but De Gaulle said it best
>He judged that it was possible to take advantage of the worst, to use even the point of servitude, to even associate oneself with the invader, to make oneself an asset of the most terrible repression. To carry out his policy, he renounced the honor of the country, the independence of the State, and national pride. Now, these elements reappeared alive and demanding as the enemy weakened.
>Laval had played. He had lost. He had the courage to admit that he was responsible for the consequences. No doubt, in his government, deploying all the resources of ruse, all the resources of obstinacy to support the unsustainable, he sought to serve his country. Let that be left to him
Did the French name a culinary dish after him?
