Don’t ask De Gaulle what happened to Pétain (he got life in prison instead of the guillotine because he was a WW1 veteran)
I understand north border is wrong to get turkish rage bait but what did you want from Iraq bruh.
The fuck is this slop
French government doing literally anything
French hipity popity your head is now our proprety
To add insult to injury:
Pétain (leader of Vichy France) and De Gaulle (leader of Free France/France libre) were close friends before 1940!!!
Philippe Pétain was Charles De Gaulle's teacher at the Ecole de guerre (a french military school for officers). They fought in Verdun during WW1. Charles spent a lot of time in Germany as a prisoner of war. Pétain was then a general. He was the man behind the "voie sacrée", a road that connected the countryside and the battlefield. Night and day, trucks were driving on that road to supply the many french soldiers fighting in Verdun. His goal was to spare as much men as possible and to keep their spirits up. In 1918, after the armistice, he was made Maréchal de France, in the city of Metz, where Charles lived for a few years with his children and his wife, Yvonne. De Gaulle EVEN named his own son Phillippe ( 1921 – †2024 ) after Pétain!!!
AFTER WW2, De Gaulle sentenced Pétain to lifetime imprisonment in fortress Île d'Yeu, an island off the Atlantic coast of France, where he died in 1951. Before being sent to the fortress on the island, he was initially held at the Fort du Portalet in the Pyrenees. Pétain was originally sentenced to death, but due to his age and World War I service his sentence was commuted to life in prison.
A bit later, in 1958, 7 years AFTER Pétain’s death in 1951, Charles De Gaulle became president. He once publicily said that Philippe Pétain was a good leader in Verdun, an opinion that's shared by many french presidents, from Mitterrand, former collaborator, to Emmanuel Macron, current president of French Republic.
