Yes, Petain was serious in his opposition, but Laval was not.

The United States recognized the Vichy government until the end of the war.

It was simply the government of France.

Unfortunately, after the war, there were large-scale murders of those who were hated by the Left.

True, odd the USA recognised Vichy until 1944 I think it was, then Degaulle was man of the hour......
