Today's conference in Paris among Admiral Francois Darlan, special emissary of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, the Pro-German Laval and Hitler's personal envoy, Otto Abetz, was said to have "practically ended" the 50-day old crisis in French-German relations...

In Brussels pro-German Henri de Man, onetime Minister of Finance and President of the Belgian Labor Party, was rated as the Belgian equivalent of Pierre Laval in France. Leon Degrelle, flashy Führer of the Belgian Rexist (fascist) Party, was released from prison by the Nazis and worked hard to gain power...
