I am reminded of the very old quote:
"No one has killed more Frenchmen than the French themselves."...I do not know who originally said this, but I remember my Father quoting it in the mid-50s when I was a young spud. And I think it was very old then.

My dad told me General Patton once said "I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me"
Joan of Arc saved France from the English, then turned her over to the English to be burned at the stake (after all sorts of interrogation and trials of course). Now France claims her as a national hero.
