Phillipe Petain is... controversial. Personally, I defend the dude- since Vichy France didn't really have a choice in what it did during WW2.
I think we needed both Petain and De Gaulle- because both tried to save France in different ways- one helped the French by protecting them from German Occupation, and another by saving France from overseas.
