For balance it was not all of France that capitulated you refer to the Vichy government. My late grandfather was a member of the maquis his cell collaborated with the British SOE to rescue fighter pilots shot down over Nazi occupied France.

My Great Aunt was killed by the nazis during the war. To label all French in this way is not very real to the truth.

I said the Vichy government, not every French citizen. I'm very well aware of the Resistance, and the heroic sacrifices made by French patriots. Your grandpa was one of the good ones.

One of the things my dad mentioned was seeing a young woman crucified on the side of a barn. It wasn't the Germans who did it.

My apologies if you thought I was tarring every single French person with the same brush. Your aunt and grandpa showed an enormous amount of courage, as well as all the members of the Resistance.
