There never was a German government for France during WWII, but there was a French government based in Vichy.
The Germans didn't let the "free French" government run anything. It was known as the Free French government IN EXILE because they had to get out of France and all German-controlled areas. The only government the NAZIs recognized in France was the one that was allied with Germany, the Vichy gov't.
The (second) German Empire was proclaimed in the Mirror Hall of Versailles on 18 January 1871, following the victory of the North German Federation and its southern German allies over France in the Franco-Prussian war. It celebrated its 43rd anniversary in 1914.
Germany was allowed 3/5 of France, including the whole Atlantic coast, and France would keep the rest. France would have to pay for the expenses produced by the German troops stationed in France, and would also have to deport all of the Jews to Germany
France's surrender occurred several years prior to the Bulge. The French government reached agreement with German in July of 1940. The Battle of the Bulge began in December of 1944.
Britain, France, and the US decided to combine the German zones they controlled.
on the 22nd of June, 1940, the third republic of France surrendered to German forces and was divided in two. northern France was occupied by the Germans, while southern France remained independent but was ruled by a pro German government in the city of France, thus bcoming known as Vichy France.
It was not installed by the Germans. Marshal Petain became Pemiere of France before their capitulation according to proper french constitutional procedures. After the armistice the French parliament voted to essentially scrap the constitution and invest him with dictatorial powers. This was done on their own hook, not at the behest of the Germans. Anyway, his government is called the Vichy government after the small resort town in southern France which became the de facto French capital when the government fled Paris before it fell.
