In case you like me didn't get the Maréchal joke, they are referring to Marshall Petain who was collaborating with nazis as a French head of state and who was sentenced to death after the war for it.
Not a french. But what choice did he have? If noone had surrendered, would South France be directly occupied as well? Petain at least got some degree of autonomy for the French.
@@cypp8245 Its more complexe than that. Petain and Franco secretlty pushed Hitler against Russia. It was a main moove to change the balance. About jews more than 90% of french jews were saved because we were giving foregners jews, some other countries its ore like 90% of jews killed... I don't say everything is white, but its a really complexe context when you are occupied. Everything is not dark or white, its more a grey shit with everything inside.

@@ada-boy an army officer above general. I'm fairly sure the title doesn't exist anymore. In this case it refers to the Maréchal Pétain, a former world war one hero who was the highest officer of the french army at the start of WW2, and was given full power by the french government. He then proceeded to surrender to Hitler, give the latter the northern half, and keep the southern half to himself, maintaining collaboration with the nazis. He famously replaced the "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" (freedom, quality, fraternity) motto with "travail, famille, patrie" (work, family, nation), which says it all really.
@@maximeteppe7627 "an army officer above general. I'm fairly sure the title doesn't exist anymore." It still exist. However, it isn't a rank properly say, it's a distinction, like the private 1st class. Marshall and 1st class don't have any autority over army general (général d'armée) and private (soldat). It's mostly a way to aknowledge the career and accomplishment of an officer. The title isn't used that much today, since flag officer don't really have opportunities to shine anymore, but it still exist. Funny thing, the french army actually has two other rank using the word "maréchal": maréchal des logis and maréchal des logis chef, which are NCO rank equivalent to sergeant and staff sergeant. They're mostly used in cavalry unit or former cavalry unit, like Gendarmerie, artillery, armor, train, etc...

Yes but before French spoke of the "little contribution" of the americans during ww2, so as french I think they deserved this "Marechal Joke". I think is just like buddies breaking each other balls, because no one react to the jokes.
A bit late but the joke is that the US government wanted to side with Marshal Pétain (Vichy France) rather than with DeGaulle (Free France), but were forced to go with DeGaulle thank to Winston Churchill.
