WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS?

>At the Battle of Verdun in March 1916, while leading a charge to try to break out of a position which had become surrounded by the enemy, he received a bayonet wound to the thigh after being stunned by a shell and, passing out from the effects of poison gas, was captured at Douaumont, one of the few survivors of his battalion. He spent 32 months in a German prisoner of war camp, where his treatment was satisfactory.[14]

>He made five unsuccessful escape attempts,[12] being moved to a higher security facility and punished on his return with long periods of solitary confinement and with the withdrawal of privileges such as newspapers and tobacco.[10] In his letters to his parents, he constantly spoke of his frustration that the war was continuing without him, calling the situation "a shameful misfortune" and compared it to being cuckolded.

>>Americans ask if they'll be giving all the bodies back from the veterans cemetaries in France
Oh fuck, did this happen?

>In 1966, all French armed forces were removed from NATO's integrated military command, and all non-French NATO troops were asked to leave France. US Secretary of State Dean Rusk was later quoted as asking de Gaulle whether his order included "the bodies of American soldiers in France's cemeteries?"[37]

>your own resistance force spent more time fighting among itself, particularly with communists
>gaullists achieve little
>allies have to save the country because of the French's unending ineptitude.
>give speech following the liberation of Paris
>"Paris ! Outraged Paris ! Broken Paris ! Martyred Paris, but liberated Paris ! Liberated by the people of Paris with help from the armies of France, with the help and support of the whole of France, of France which is fighting, of the only France, the real France, eternal France."

yeah what a fucker.

DeGaulle should have said yes, dseu

> has the de gaul to flee to England
> refuses English admission to the EU

He did us a favour really.

great public image for france

if there was any justice in the world a flock of pigeons would have loosed upon him their own speech after he's spoke

>takes the credit for the liberation of Paris despite being such a petulant shit that the allies didn't even want to let him in on the Normandy invasion

Arrogant was probably a better word for de Gaulle than proud.

that is the sense of proud that is intended

>france
>fighting
top kek
France is a nation of useless sluts and whores like pic related

>Americans ask if they'll be giving all the bodies back from the veterans cemetaries in France

That's why I'll never respect Americans
Throwing this punchline because France didnt want to be occupied by their troops was pathetic
Did France force the 13 colonies to host French military bases after liberating them from Brits
Americans are a bunch of ungrateful faggots

...

t.buttblasted frog

America did far more for France in WW2 than France did for the colonies, especially when factoring in post-war efforts towards reconstruction.

you are a simpleton

...

Is that Vincent Price?

I bet that fucker blinked

I forgot about the part where the US was completely occupied by the British and the French took 180,000 KIA bailing our dumb asses out of the fire.

I especially forgot the part where the US was within raping distance of another aggressive, imperialist power.

this tbqh

i think he was the person france needed at the time so that they didnt end up like germany he did what was necessary

without France, America would remain a British colony

>hating us
>unironically

sucks to be you

Nigel pls

People who know nothing about history think that the French suck.

People who know a little about history think that the French are pretty cool.

People who know a lot about history know that the French suck.

Who doesn't suck?

Yes. His strong-armed protection of French sovereignty was pretty based, honestly.

That's not marshall petain

All he did was run away and IRL shitpost in Britain.

Nobody is without sin, but the Swiss pretty much kick ass.

Switzerland?
The country that entered in a 500 years long neutrality after losing one battle to the French?

>one of only like three democracies left in Europe during WW2
>all the cool summits are there
>no matter what happens, its effect on the Swiss is to make them more money
>stay free and rich as fuck through everything

Sure, they're mountain Jews, but a country exists to look after its own people and the Swiss are world class at that.

If left to his own devices he almost certainly would have.
