No, I meant that we let the French pretend like they were a full partner of the winning coalition of powers that defeated the Axis. They got occupation zones in Germany, Berlin, Austria, and Vienna.
The movie The Third Man is an interesting view of Vienna after the war. Jeeps with soldiers from each occupying nation, USSR, USA, UK, and France, running around.
“The movie The Third Man is an interesting view of Vienna after the war.”
Yes it was and the theme is haunting. I like “Funeral in Berlin”...it captures the zeitgeist. I know...I was stationed there when movie was made.
