5 Pétain, Maréchal Philippe
A First World War national hero, Pétain was called to the rescue to form an "independent" government for the "free" southern half of France, while the north was under direct Nazi occupation. At the end of the war, members of Pétain's "collaborationist" Vichy government were arrested and put on trial for helping the Nazis; Pétain himself was condemned to death, but his sentence was reduced to life emprisonment, on account of his age and his earlier stature.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
