I notice that in article # 5, the New York Slimes reporter Archambault seems to reveal himself to be a Nazi sympathizer by praising Marshal Henri Phillippe Petain, who ultimately became notorious as the head of the Vichy regime where he was a Nazi collaborator and war criminal.

The Slimes wrote in praise of Petain:

In Bordeaux during the day one met an official automobile in which rode a solitary man of dignified and sorrowful mien - Marshal Henri Phillippe Petain. All the hopes of a reconstructed France are based for the moment on the prestige and personality of this man, who has always kept aloof from party struggles and class warfare and now typifies everything that is best in the country.

Hmm, the New York Slimes: pro-Nazi then, anti-Israel now.

Regarding the author, I haven’t been able to learn much about G.H. Archambault, other than that his first name is Gaston. He has been writing about the Battle of France since it was an imaginary campaign back in September. I am curious to see if the Times continues to run his stories under Vichy.
