April 14, 1942:


"Of the trials's 27 defendants, 25 were sentenced to death; two of the defendants were Jewish.
Here, heavily guarded Resistance members leave the courtroom after the trial.
Although the verdicts were unhappy ones for the defendants and for the Resistance, they hardly heralded the end of French opposition to the German-controlled puppet government.
At about this time collaborationist politician Pierre Laval reinstalled himself--with Hitler's support--as the chief of the Vichy government at about this time, which only spurred heightened Resistance activity."
