* [[Les Collaborateurs]]/[[The Quisling]]: While Pétain dies of a heart attack, some opportunistic politicians such as Laval and far-right ideologues such as Drieu La Rochelle do offer their assistance to the occupying Germans.

* [[Obligatory War Crime Scene]]: A group of captured German pilots are executed in cold blood when it turns out they can't be evacuated to Algeria.
