Were it not for the bravery of these men, there would not be a France today.

I read William L. Shirer diary of his time in Nazi Germany. He stated many times that the French did not fight at all. There were a lot of French communists and they, along with unions ordered the soldiers not to fight.

If not for D-Day—it would be part of Greater Germania. Maybe France would be a better place?

Yes, these guys too, a few decades earlier.

Uh actually, there would probably not be an America either if it hadn’t been for some of our allies, one of them being the French, who helped us enormously during our Revolution! They weren’t the only reason we won our independence, of course, but one of them; along with some Polish fellows and some Germans, and a few American Indian leaders! So we did owe them something. That said, I believe we paid them back quite a bit!

Respectfully, not that I am a Francophile, but if not for France in 1776, there might not be a United States of America. Thanks !
