In 1941, France was under the control of the Vichy regime, which was a collaborationist government established after the German invasion and subsequent defeat of France in 1940. The Vichy government, led by Marshal Philippe Pétain, collaborated with Nazi Germany while maintaining a facade of neutrality. Meanwhile, northern France, including Paris, was occupied directly by German forces. The French Resistance was also beginning to form during this time, opposing both the Vichy regime and the German occupation.
