Description | World War II cartoon shows French General Maxime Weygand leaving the room, a paper reading "Weygand's Retirement Order (Made in Berlin)" in his hand. In the background, Hitler tells Marshall Pétain, head of the puppet Vichy French government, that they can now "get down to business." Weygand was the Vichy delegate general in North Africa. Hitler, who viewed him as antagonistic to Germany, forced his retirement in November 1941. Berryman views Weygand's ouster as the removal of one more obstacle to Hitler's goal of obtaining complete control of unoccupied France. |
