The Free French Radio at Brazzaville, French West Africa, today scored Marshal Petain for not protesting the execution of 95 Jewish hostages, which was reported last week by the Berne correspondent of the newspaper La Suisse.
Recalling that Petain had protested against the German threat, early this month, to execute another 100 hostages, the Free French broadcaster said: “Ninety five of these men have already been executed, and it is more than significant that the Marshal has still remained silent.”
