HIST3036 2027-28
France under the Nazis, 1940-1944 (Part 1)
In 1940 France experienced the worst military defeat in its history. On this module you will explore the causes and consequences of a defeat that caused the collapse of French democratic rule and direct military occupation by the Germans until 1944. You will learn about how the French experienced and came to understand the defeat, and the bruising compromises with the German occupiers that followed. We focus especially on the functioning and ideological underpinning of the authoritarian Vichy regime (1940-1944), which enjoyed semi-autonomous status over the period; the collaboration with the Nazis of both political elites and ordinary men and women; and the complicity of the Vichy regime in the deportation of 80 000 Jews to Auschwitz. You will encounter the military, diplomatic, political, social and cultural dimensions of this complex subject. Through an engagement with primary sources in translation, we consider how the defeat was understood by contemporaries, how the Vichy regime sought to retain its sovereignty in the face of crushing German Occupation, and the daily life of civilians. -

France under the Nazis, 1940-1944 (Part 2)
The second half of the special subject invites you to consider not only how the French resisted Occupation and achieved Liberation from German military forces in 1944, but how they have subsequently memorialised the war and Occupation experience as a whole. The module begins with an exploration of popular resistance to German Occupation and Vichy rule. A culture of dissent emerged, especially after 1942, encompassing guerrilla warfare, underground publishing and demonstrations for food. We study the military, political and social dimensions of the Liberation of 1944, from D-Day onwards, and the competing visions for liberated France outlined by different political factions, especially Gaullists and communists; as well as the trials of collaborators that followed Liberation (1945-51). Finally, we explore post-war representations and interrogations of the experience of Occupation, from documentary films and fiction to trials for crimes against humanity, public apologies and compensation claims made by deportees, in order to gain a sense of how public memory of the ‘dark years' has been articulated and contested since 1944.
