There was Vichy France. But there was also the Resistance. One does not cancel out the other. Both stories must be told. And I wish someone would post that picture of a female Resistance member advancing along a wall. I always found that picture inspiring.

And I don't blame de Gaulle one bit for saying what he did. He was speaking as a French patriot, not as some impartial historian.

If 10% of those who say they were in the resistance actually were, they would never have turned over their country to Hitler and Petsin without a fight.
To this day,many French still believe the would have won the war without the US and Britain.
