Daladier Lebrun Testify On Armistice Pressure In Trial
Paris reports reveal former President Albert Lebrun testified that Marshal Petain threatened to resign from the Reynaud government unless Germany was asked for an armistice. Lebrun described cabinet sessions on June 16 1940 and asserted Petain moved to form a new administration, while Daladier’s testimony accused Vichy officials of ousting the republic. The trial included questions about telegrams praising Germany and Petain’s silence on them as evidence.
