    When a very old woman died in Paris on Friday 8 November, her passing prompted a few paragraphs in the papers.

    Lucette Destouches was 107 years old and had been quite a name in years gone by. A dancer and the wife, then widow, of France's most controversial writer of the last century, Louis-Ferdinand Céline.
    She was also the last surviving witness of the tragicomic, final days of France's collaborationist regime - days that were lived out not in Vichy but in a bizarre French microstate created in a southern German castle.

    Flight of collaborators who backed the Nazis .....
