Been watching A&E’s Ike, Countdown to D-Day. Degaulle was portrayed as the jerk he really was. He was about as ungrateful as they came. France could have been more helpful after WW2.

The one thing DeGaulle though was that he saved France from falling to the Communists.

A lot of people don’t know this, but right after Paris was liberated, there was a Communist reign of terror in the city, basically anyone in their way was accused of being a collaborator and executed.
