French prime minister Paul Reynaud
Paul Reynaud (born October 15, 1878, at Barcelonnette, France died September 21, 1966) was a French politician and laywer.
He studied law at the Sorbonne and became a member of the French Chamber of Deputies in 1914. He held several cabinet posts in the 1930s.
Reynaud became Prime Minister of France in March 21, 1940 after Edouard Daladier was sacked, soon after the start of the Second World War. After the invasion of France by Germany he made Charles de Gaulle a member of the Cabinet as Minister of War.
He resigned soon after the occupation of Paris, in June 16 1940 and was replaced by General Pétain, who organised an armistice. He was arrested on Petain's orders and given to the Germans, who kept him prisoner until the end of the war.
After the war, he was made again a member of the Chamber of Deputies in 1946 and was an opponent of de Gaulle's Fifth Republic.
