While in general the French Army failed badly in 1940, Dunkirk was the exception. There the French fought heroically and it is unlikely the British Army would have survived without the French covering their retreat. And of course we must also remember the sacrifices of the Free French forces under Charles de Gaulle who carried on the fight after the ignominious capitulation of their government.

Unfortunately, the French Resistance was heavily infiltrated with Communists.
