My father served in the US 7th Army in WWII. They landed in southern France and drove north up the Rhone to link with Eisenhower.
There were several Free French divisions attached to 7th Army including a couple of armored ones. He speaks highly of the French who fought alongside him. At some points the French armor were the main force preventing the Germans from overrunning their lines.

Not long ago I was watching videos of the WWII and very surprised how much went on I wasn’t aware of. It was very interesting seeing how they landed and prepertion before this as well.
