Answer Of the free French forces: De Gaulle Of Vichy France: Henri-Philippe Petain Answer The leader of German-occupied France (or "Vichy France," so named because the government was based in Vichy instead of Paris) from 1940-1944 was Marshal Philippe Petain. It's important to note that this is the France that was conquered by Germany. It was not a free country with leaders elected by the French people. Paul Reynaud was the prime minister of France before the invasion in 1940. The leader of free French forces (numbering no more than a few hundred thousand, mostly gathered from French colonies) during the war was General Charles De Gaulle. After France was liberated in 1944 de Gaulle became the leader of the new government.
France began World War One with Joseph Joffre as Commander-in-Chief. He was replaced by Robert Nivelle in December 1916. Nivelle was replaced by Henri-Philippe Petain in April 1917. In March 1918, the Allies promoted Ferdinand Foch to "Supreme Commander." Although Petain remained the French Commander-in-Chief, he took his orders from Foch. This list only includes the generals at the top - the true number is in the hundreds.
