FRANCE ONCE UNDER GERMAN TUTELAGE WAS THE MOST EAGER TO DISGORGE JEWS

 AND FIGHT BRITAIN, RESISTANCE FRENCH,  OR THE UNITED STATES RATHER THAN GERMANY OR RUSSIA, UNTIL HITLER BETRAYED STALIN.

IT HAD ONLY RECENTLY PURGED ITS OWN MILITARY OF ALL JEWS IN THE LONG AND BITTER AFTERMATH OF THE DREYFUS DEBACLE, AND WAS THE MOST LIKELY COUNTRY IN EUROPE TO HAVE STAGED A HOLOCAUST, AS SIR MICHAEL HOWARD NOTED,  UNTIL HITLER POPPED UP.

SADLY FOR THE VICHY FRENCH, HITLER HATED THE FRENCH.
