Huh? That would be news to the hundreds of thousands of Free French who escaped France after the German invasion and who fought alongside the Allies. Free French pilots fought and died as part of the RAF during the Battle of Britain and also many thousands served in the Navy beside the Royal Navy. Free French also took part in the invasion of Italy (some 100,000 French troops fought the Italian campaign) and fought alongside Allied troops in Egypt and Syria.
I meant the Government of France...and you knew it.
