[QUOTE] I was referring to the Free French Army, who still fought on outwith France's borders after 1940 (Bir Hakeim, the Gazala Line etc), and to the Resistance.[/QUOTE] Whilst I would not denigrate the contribution made to the Allied effort by the Free French and the Resistance, I fear that you have forgtotten the contribution made by the Vichy lads. They did sterling work for Uncle Adolf, didn't they?
