On April 26, 1945, Marshal Philippe Pétain, leader of France's Vichy collaborationist regime during World War II, was arrested for treason.
"In his pursuit of a “National Revival,” Pétain collaborated with the Nazi regime and adopted repressive measures against Jews. Tried for his actions at the end of World War II, Pétain was sentenced to death before his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment."
