Rehabilitation?[edit]

The decision of the appeal court in 1945 was a political one, not a rehabilitation in a legal sense. de la Chapelle did not act "in the interest of liberation of France", since it had nothing to do with the liberation of France - Darlan was governing Allied occupied territory with the acquiescence of the Allied commanders.Royalcourtier (talk) 18:27, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weapon used[edit]

I don't have a copy of 'An Army at Dawn' so I don't know what info Atkinson has, but Anthony C. Brown seems quite certain that it was a Colt Woodsman, not a Ruby. He even implies that it may have been given to Bonnier by OSS agent Carleton Coon on P268-269 of 'Wild Bill Donovan'.74.96.110.219 (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[Colt Woodsman] page directly links to this one, the assassin of Admiral Darlan, saying that a Colt Woodsman was used in the assassination (with a book citation). This page says a [Ruby pistol] was used instead, with another book source. These are inconsistent. Online sources seem to lean towards the Woodsman, but I can't find a 'good' web source to use. 2601:249:4380:385D:DA1F:BB25:A67:E686 (talk) 17:10, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
