On This Day In HistoryToday in 1940, 84 years ago: in the city of Vichy (France) the Vichy Government, a Nazi collaborator, is established with Marshal Pétain at the head (who at the end of the war will receive a life sentence for executing 10,000 anti-Nazi French partisans and sending 150,000 French Jews to die in concentration camps in Germany).
