Basically its all positive and its the way it should be…
Just tried to explain it ..
Historical facts: France was an „ unreliable allied“…( according to most of the allied nations).
Mr. DeGaulle was not invited in Yalta nor Teheran during the share/cuts discussions for the post WWII Europe, the negotiations/ discussions, took place without him…furthermore was he was not informed of the D-Day happening…..only hours after its launch… he was getting ballistic about it…
…as a matter of facts, France was occupied but ruled and governed by Vichy and pro „ Nazeehhs“…. Hence totally unreliable for the allies.. Mr. DeGaulle was considered as unsure and not a legitimate representative of (collaborating) France…hence all bombing of France (and its victims
) was tolerated and written off in the „ collateral damage „ records..
Anyway, nowadays, France does its outmost to straighten up things and rightly thanks and honors the liberators.
