re: #47 quickjustice

As noted, a majority of the French, General De Gaulle and a few others excepted, collaborated with the Nazis after the fall of France. At the same time, there are memorials all over Paris to those Frenchmen who died resisting the Nazis.

After the war, of course, everyone in France suddenly remembered that they had been members of the Resistance! On the other hand, you can’t reasonably expect everyone living under an occupying power to be a hero.

No but it seemed the French had a rather high percentage of traitors?
