Talk:Joseph Darnand

Untitled

The reason Darnand was taken back to France and executed by the French rather than being tried at Nuremberg is obvious: he was French and commited his crimes on French soil. An article on the nature and extent of other all-French postwar trials and executions would be interesting if someone knows enough to write it, which I don't.05:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

The references to this article do not give any citation as to the statement that Laval was the President of Milice. I doubt that Laval was the President of Milice, and if no one can provide evidence to Laval being President I plan to edit that out of Darnand's biography.

No, Laval was President of l'Etat Français, better known as Vichy France. The Milice was organized in December 1943 by Secretary-general for the Maintenance of Order Darnand out of the Service d'Ordre Légionnaire and its operational head was René Bosquet. (Ref: Paxton, Robert O.; Vichy France: Old Guard and New Order, 1940 - 1944; New York; Columbia University Press, 1972) Dick Kimball (talk) 17:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

This article mentions that Darnand "...founded his own transportation company in Nice." Paxton (Ibid) refers to "...Joeph Darnand, the Nice garage owner..." This may be a Rashomon-like example of two sources seeing the same thing differently, but it might be worth clarifying in case Darnand's business was really just a gas/petrol station.

My understanding is that Darnand ran a transport company and not a garage.```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.139.189 (talk) 22:41, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
