In contemplation and solitude, you never cease to elevate yourselves, to cultivate your intelligence, to magnify your souls .... In your pain, you silenced dissent amongst yourselves .... No more individualism and egoism in your ranks; you share all of your personal gifts.... Finally, you are disciplined men and you fall in, without exception, behind your leader without seeking to discuss his instructions or his orders .... Thus, despite the distance that separates you from your compatriots, you teach them a wonderful lesson. (Philippe Petain, 'Christmas Message to the POWs', Le Temps, 26 December 1941)
