  Abstract:  

The aim of the current article is to analyze the actions of the French diplomat Jacques Truelle who from his early position as a Vichy diplomat later rallied himself to General de Gaulle in June 1943. Firstly, our aim is to evaluate the difficulties he encountered into joining the Resistance movement, and those regarding the acceptance of de Gaulle’s persona as the leader of Free France. Furthermore, we seek to outline his “double game” policy and the role he played regarding the fate of Jews he encountered in the turmoil of the Second World War.

Keywords: diplomacy, ambassador, Vichy, Resistance, Truelle, Second Word War.
