Maréchal, Nous Voilà!

On today's episode, Chris Barker and Josiah discuss Claude Chabrol's 1993 documentary, The Eye of Vichy, co-written by historian Robert O. Paxton. They talk about France under Nazi occupation, the regime of Philippe Pétain, and how the French national identity made sense of defeat and collaboration.
