I recently watched the French documentary film “Eye of Vichy [3]“, via Netflix streaming. It is a collection of original Vichy French propaganda films. I was amazed to see just how deeply collaborationist Petain’s government was with the Nazis. Granted, the Germans were holding a million captured French soldiers hostage, but why did the French become so enthusiastic about rounding up Jews [4], hunting down the resistance [5], and manufacturing war materiel [6] for the Axis? There are lessons to be learned from this film. If we aren’t vigilant, we may have our own version of the Milice [7] prowling the streets of American cities. OBTW, don’t miss the included propaganda cartoon showing Mickey Mouse and Popeye bombing France [8]. Propaganda like that is pure evil.
