Bonn and Vichy

One time West German chancellor Willy Brandt famously caused offence to many people and governments by saying during the Bonn-Berlin debate that France would never have kept Vichy as the capital after Liberation - thus implying that the Bonn Republic had been a client regime like Vichy France.

Is there any truth to this?, given that i am too young for the Cold War.
