No great French leader ever was... Napoleon I was Italian.

Maybe they ruined Churchill's statue because he said ‘DeGaulle is a disgrace’. (And he was right)

He once said that: "Of all the crosses I have to bear, the heaviest is the Cross of Lorraine."

Roosevelt had once remarked that deGaulle thought that he was Joan of Arc, to which Churchill is said to have replied: "Yes, but, unfortunately, the Bishop won't let me burn him."
