词汇 laval
词源
Laval. After the liberation of France, Pierre Laval was tried for treason, sentenced to death, and executed on October 15, 1945. The French politician, born in 1883, held many national offices before becoming premier of the collaborationist Vichy government in 1942. Believing that Germany would win World War II, he was instrumental in organizing a policy of collabora- tion with the Nazis within occupied France. Under Nazi pres- sure Laval instituted a rule of terror, authorizing a French fas- cist militia and agreeing to send forced labor to Germany. His name became a hated one, synonymous with traitor, though he claimed at his trial that his motives were patriotic. Laval fled to Spain when France fell to the Allies, was expelled, and finally surrendered himself. After his conviction, he tried to commit suicide, but was saved for the firing squad.
