How was the French economy during World War 2?

Answer:
The Corporate State recruited french people to work in German factories and employed people in the 'Milice' (paramilitary force created January 30, 1943 by the Vichy Regime).
They pursued Jews, Communists and other political opponents plus resistance fighters. In 1943, Compulsory Labour Service was introduced but ironically it helped the membership of the resistance movements grow.
