No love lost between De-Gaul and Churchill

Churchill said ‘De-Gaul is a disgrace.’

According to Morrisey it was Roosevelt and DeGaul who hated each other. Churchill and DeGaul argued primarily during WWII over British encroachment on French imperial possessions.

Churchill was certainly reckless, myopic, and arrogant over his career. Thank goodness for that.

De Gaul was highly overrated, and merely tolerated by the allies lacking any better alternative figurehead to keep “Free France” in the war. I suppose he was the best post-war France could have hoped for.
