Gaston Bergery and the Politics of Late Third Republic France and the Early Vichy State
Diane N. Labrosse
In July 1940, Gaston Bergery composed the founding document of the Vichy State, the Bergery Declaration, which called for a "renaissance" of France, domestically and in terms of its relations with the New European Order. It also offered one of the first clinical autopsies of the French Third Republic. Bergery's status vis-à-vis the end of the Third Republic is important in two interrelated respects. First, his political career is indicative of the taxonomical problems of French politics between the two World Wars and during the early Vichy regime. Second, his seminal role in the creation of the Pétainist state speaks to the French political upheaval of the late 1930s, when party lines and ideological adhesions were broken and re-formed in an unpredictable manner. His principal historical importance is based upon his status as one of the most notable representatives of the cohort of left wing pacifist and anti-communist politicians who rallied to Vichy.

Few issues have possessed the centrality or sparked as much controversy
in the postwar history of the Federal Republic of Germany
(FRG) as the struggle to come to terms with the nation’s Nazi past.
This struggle, commonly known by the disputed term Vergangenheitsbewältigung,
has cast a long shadow upon nearly all dimensions of
German political, social, economic, and cultural life and has prevented
the nation from attaining a normalized state of existence in
the postwar period. Recent scholarly analyses of German memory
have helped to broaden our understanding of how “successful” the
Germans have been in mastering their Nazi past and have shed light
on the impact of the Nazi legacy on postwar German politics and
culture. Even so, important gaps remain in our understanding of
how the memory of the Third Reich has shaped the postwar life of
the Federal Republic.
