JUNE 22, 1940
NEW GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE MAKES PEACE WITH
HITLER
As the fleeing French government collapses, the Germans enter undefended
Paris on June 14 ' 40. The new government is headed by the World War I hero
Marshal Philippe Petain, who agrees to make peace with Germany.
Unlike the brutality of the Versailles Treaty, the terms of this Armistice are
very light, requiring only that Germany continues to occupy northern France as
a defensive measure against a British invasion of the continent. The new French
government has its administrative offices in the southern city of Vichy. Other
than the strategic occupation in the north, France remains a sovereign nation.
Life in occupied France goes on quietly. German soldiers establish an excellent
reputation for good behavior, and charm with the French ladies.
Meanwhile in the UK, Churchill and French General Charles De Gaulle fume
over Marshal Petain’s refusal to continue fighting. Hitler wants Petain to ally his
country with Germany, but Mussolini’s war declaration upon France leaves such
a bad taste in the mouths of Frenchmen that they cannot possibly join a German-
Italian alliance.
Hitler and Field Marshal Petain make peace. The armistice is signed in the same
railway car in which Germany surrendered after World War I.
