French court rejects Renault heirs' challenge - heirs to the Nazi collaborators have some nerve

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16512081
<snip>
A French court has rejected a bid by heirs of the founder of Renault for compensation for the loss of the car firm, nationalised in 1945.

The French state took control of Louis Renault's firm after World War II, when, under German control, it was used to make equipment for German forces.

The company is now one of France's largest car-makers and the state remains the single biggest shareholder.

"I am stunned by the audacity of the Renault heirs," Jean-Paul Teissonniere said.
