2 Robert Philippot and the pact
from The 31000 and 45000 Hosted by Matthieu Landour Engel
This episode of the 31000 and the 45000 is about Robert Philippot, a french deputy. Soviet Union was not always on the allies side. In 1939, they even made a non agression pact with Germany, the Ribbentrop Molotov pact. And yes, the molotov cocktail comes from Vyacheslav Molotov. In France, few were warned of the upcoming pact, the french communist party was told to accept it, without much explanations. This would make the french communist party illegal. Robert Philippot was one of those french deputy, told to accept a situation he hadn't prepared for, ordered to accept a pact which would go against his own principles. But what happened when France lost the war and started collaborating with Germany as well?
