"Maréchal, nous voilà !" ("Marshal, here we are!") is a 1941 French song dedicated to Marshal Philippe Pétain. The lyrics were composed by André Montagard; its music was attributed to André Montagard and Charles Courtioux but actually plagiarized from a song composed for the 1933 musical "La Margoton du bataillon by Polish Jewish composer Kazimierz Oberfeld, who was deported to Auschwitz in 1945, where he died.
Although "La Marseillaise" remained the official national anthem of the state, "Maréchal, nous voilà !" was performed on many official and unofficial occasions in France and its territories during the Vichy France Era, often in a famous variation by André Dassary.
