Along with the likes of Jean Bichelonne, François Lehideux, and Pierre Pucheu, he was a member of a group of technocrats who were important in the early days of the Vichy regime. ...

Barnaud worked with Nazi Germany during the occupation in order to secure deals to supply them with aluminium and rubber from French Indo-China. He did, however, successfully oppose a plan suggested by Hermann Göring that the Nazis collect France's church bells and melt them down for their metal content, feeling that such a scheme would breed too much resentment against the Nazi occupiers.
Barnaud was arrested in October 1944 on charges of providing the enemy with intelligence. After several delays, the charges were dismissed in 1949. He returned to his business interests and amassed a fortune in post-war France.
