Caption:
Admiral Darlan, Vichy French propaganda poster, c1940-1942. Jean Louis Xavier Francois Darlan (1881-1942) commanded the French naval forces early in World War II. After France surrendered to Germany, Darlan served as vice premier in the pro-German Vichy regime. In November 1942 he was captured, and ordered a cease-fire after negotiations with Allied forces. He was appointed high commissioner of French North Africa, but his leadership was repudiated by Charles de Gaulle's partisans. Darlan was assassinated in late December. This poster conveys a message from Darlan to freed French POWs reminding them to remember their comrades still in imprisonment and to help bring about their release by supporting the policies of the Vichy government.
