Philippe Petain, Chief of State of Vichy France, and Other Government Members, 1940. Second World War. 'With the armistice [they signed with Germany], a truncated France cast aside her true patriots and set up, at Vichy, a watering-place for the sick, a government of men - old, tired and bigoted - who in their own words believed now that Britain "would have her neck wrung like a chicken's".' From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 ( Reel 1); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
