What a pity!

Unless what I have read is incorrect, that in the last 100 years, more Americans have died for France (defending or liberating), than the French themselves.

I really hope that is not the case, but even if it is, it couldn't be very far the correct casualty count. I lost three uncles in WWII alone.

It is true.

Vichy gov. in France also gave Jews to the SS. It was the policy to appease even if it was the death of others as long as a Frenchman kept his own neck from the noose.

The English had to sick the French fleet because they refused to not use it with the Nazi's.

There was only ever Two good Frenchmen in history. One was Lafeyette. The other was Voltaire. And both had their complaints of their countrymen.

Most of the accounts from WWII in the words of the men on the line said even the resistance would run forth with their weapons to appear brave. But they would retreat without weapons when they realized the Germans up ahead were better armed. Many instances from 101st, 82nd, Rangers, etc.. accounts of Normandy and inland fighting. Their words were 13 and 14 year old Hitler youth were braver and deadlier then any 100 french.

Let them wallow in their own pity. I have none for the Frogs.
