Or like the German bratwurst eating surrender monkeys who scuttled the fleet off Scapa Flo? Or surrendered in North Africa and Stalingrad?
The French fought damned hard in WWI and lost far more than the Brits. They fought hard in WWII and lost. Under captivity they behaved about the way we would expect the British to. Some were heroes, some were not.
Don’t pretend for a minute that there werent large parts of British aristocracy that would’ve been happy to go along with Nazi rule as long as they got to keep their position in society.

The French fought like crap in WW2. They gave up, ran away, their officers shat their britches and fled. The British had to lock them in cellars to prevent them from surrendering towns the right from under the British troops defending them.

Read “Inside the Nazi War Machine” by Bevin Alexander to get a feel for how well the French fought. It’s not pretty.
